Another stimulating afternoon of playing with colour with Sue and Tracey – in fact adding more colour and texture to what we had already produced in the previous session.
We chose 9 of our postcard sized textured and painted cards and were told we had to be ‘quiet’ for 10 minutes!!!!!! A tall order for a group of about 30, so the intrepid duo played us some ‘relaxing music’ to get us in the mood and we had to listen and think (at the same time!!) about what the music meant to us or reminded us of in connection to each card.
Some really weird answers were written on the backs of the cards, BUT no-one spoke (well almost), and then we had to add cut pieces from our remaining cards and decorate with pens, dimensional paint – images and text etc.
Somehow mine have all all ended up with connections to the sea, sand and sky – not intentional when I started out butt perhaps I am influenced by where I live.
As we were all so involved I couldn’t take any pictures of other members work so you will have to put up with a couple of my cards for now just to give an idea of what we were doing.
In the third and last session in July – we have to stitch them together to make a ‘Journal Quilt’, so plenty of time to get the other 5 cards done!!!! I only managed these 4 on the day and they were not quite finished.
