We have entered into the second quarter of the year already and so we begin a new quarterly theme, “Honoring,” in Life Book 2013. Over the next three months, we’ll be honoring aspects of our lives and ourselves. April’s theme is “Honoring and Grounding” and the first lesson, taught by the amazing Tamara Laporte, was too fun to wait to share it with you.
Tamara told us to “sit back, close your eyes, and remember what it was like being a child. A child that created without any qualms, without inhibition. A being who simply responded to the impulse of ‘liking a color’ and ‘wanting to scribble’.” She asked us to try to capture that energy while creating our little birds.
We made an accordion page with our paper. Tamara guided us to choose a song that means grounding to us. I chose “Feels Like Home” by Chantal K… The birds themselves are supposed to have asymmetrical eyes, wonky beaks, scribble doodles, and quirky hats. How fun!!!
This is what my desk looked like while I was working on this:
The accordion book will have this cover.
