Before I get started I would love to hear what you think of my latest piece. It was good practice, and I can see what potential it has. I am very glad of that because I watched a video of an artist stating that it usually takes an artist a year or so to get good at their chosen craft. Which I am understanding because I am still in the really early stages of my art, and I am still trying to find my voice, and my style. I want what I create to be a representation of me, and I can admit I am not there yet.
So on to my update of today!
I have spent the majority of my day in my art studio creating as many soul collage cards as I could find photos for! I now have cards for:
- The Diva
- The Helper
- The Desirer
- The Carefree
- The Wisdom
- The Introvert
- The Creator
- The Sensualist
- The Vanity
- The Socialite
- The Materialist
- The Mother
- The Traveler
- The Child
- The Procrastinator
- The Growth
- The Naturalist
- The Wordsmith
- The Diseased
- The Lover
- The Loyalist
- The Family
- The Dreamer
- The Spiritualist
- The Eccentric
- The Lost but not Alone
- The Farmer
- The Actress
- The Entertainer
- The Protector
- The Homemaker
- The Relaxer
- The Player
- The Romantic
- The Observer
- The Mother
- The Curious
- The Authentic-Self
I may be completely addicted! Soul Cards are so much fun to make, and after you have spent all of this time making them, when you go back to try and “read” them to try and decide what part of you is being represented in these cards, it is quite PHENOMENAL because they are truly representation of a part of your authentic self.
Anyway, on to a different subject! I have literally on 4 more days until my sweetie and I have a TWO WEEK VACATION!! We CAN NOT WAIT!!! We are going to spend a week camping over at the coast, and then the next week we will spend a couple of days in Roseburg to visit with family, and the rest of the week we will be DELIRIOUSLY HAPPY home-homebodies!! Doesn’t that sound just DELIGHTFUL!??? I don’t remember having ever taken this much time off at one time – EVER!!!
OOOOH!! I CAN’T WAIT!! While I go off to dream of some more activities/outings I can do with my sweetie…
Have a FABULOUS evening! π

I would love to see ALL your cards you made! I am tickled!
I think I will have to create a new page here just so I can share all of my soul collage cards! π
Christina, are you by chance living in Oregon? If so, I might be your rather close neighbor. Hoping……
Claudia Dow
Oh yes, Christina, we want to see ALL your wonderful cards. It would be like opening a gift for me and being all excited!
Thank you, Carol! I will try to get those posted in the next day or so! π

Hi Christina,
Thanks for sharing. I was fascinated by the Soul Collage Cards. What a great exercise. Did check out link and I clicked on get you own reading. The death card came up which freaked me out but I do know it is about transformation so I had take a minute!!

Duchess!
It is so good to hear from you, I hope you are doing well!!! Wow! I would have been a little nervous if the death card had come up for me too, but I am glad that you can look at that with a positive spin on it. I think after a few minutes I would think maybe it was the death of something, something that I would no longer do anymore, or something like that! I hope you enjoy the rest of my cards I just published on the Soul Cards page. π
Christina, who is that cutie in your latest collage? She’s got something, for sure. Yes, I like that piece–her attitude, the color choice and the contrast in color and shapes appeals to me. And, well, what can I say about the SoulCollage(R) cards? 38 cards in one day could be an all time record! I would love to see them. Soulfully yours, GG
Thank you, GG! I have modeled this little girl a little after my niece, Megan!! She is one happy go lucky girl!! π AND I happy to share that I have shared my Soul Cards on a new page within my blog! I would LOVE to have EVERYONE take a class from you to learn how to make a set of their own! I LOVE them!!Thank you again, GG!! π
Wow! You have been busy – what a great idea. Have fun on your vacation – I sure do miss the Oregon coast!
Yes, We sure have worked hard this year to earn that vacation, so we are going to do the best we can to live it up!!! π
I love this idea of soul cards! I just watched the video on her site.
Have you found a less expensive avenue for the stiff background, other than what she recommends through her site (on 12 cards for $9.99)?
Thanks for sharing!
