SoulCollage

I have been curious about SoulCollage.  My friend Fran Pullara generously offered to teach me some of the basics.  There is a system and process by which you can access your deeper self but for a starter, I wanted to try making a few cards.   This first card has an image of my mother's childhood wood paddle used for a game similar to badminton.  It is painted and carved on a soft wood.  The back side has her name burned into the wood and little indentations where the ball was hit.  I  get such a good feeling seeing this image that I have it as my screen saver on my iphone.  I paired it with a photo of my mother as a young adult.  Her sweet smile is reflective of the person she was.

This second card is a photo of my Iwataki great grandfather.  I did end up writing about both cards and found it a powerful way to access inner thoughts that are lurking but my not have made their way out.  I am excited to make more of these cards.
