Gifts of art

The Mussar group that I have been facilitating since May has concluded.  I made each participant a collaged piece to remember our time together.  My personal goal was to set aside time to think about each individual and what she has discovered about herself over the course.

When we create sacred space for ourselves and are intently present for each other, our meetings create a container for self-awareness and self-discovery.  We learn over time and we gain from each other’s journeys as well.

You can imagine that participants feel safe to share deeply personal stories.  It takes courage to embark upon the experience without really knowing what’s involved and it takes commitment to dedicate the time for the assignments and for our meetings.

To honor their work and my own, I spent time creating something special for each person. Here you can see the evolution of each piece as I added paint and details.  Each piece has a heart, a phrase, and a butterfly.

 

 

 

 

I wanted to try Art Resin to give them an acrylic coating.

I painted the edges black and got them ready for the resin. Mix, pour, smooth, and pop the bubbles.

I covered each one with a cardboard box for 72 hours to prevent dust (or kitties) from interfering.

I love how they turned out and my friends did too!
