SoulCollage Cards

If you watched the video I posted about SoulCollage then you have just a tiny idea of the process involved in creating these cards. They are artistic creations but not mere creations. To me they are more like the soul speaking. I've made a Princess Card and a Warrior Card which I will share a bit later. I have also completed the "I am the One Who..." exercise with them. It's an enlightening exercise to look at the card you have created and let the words flow from you. These two cards are the first two I created. I also created some of my totem animal cards, animals for the chakras. My dragonfly and fox cards are simple yet powerful. I still need to do the I am the One Who exercises with them.
For today though I wanted to share two newer cards, ones that I have created within the last two weeks.
The Royalty Card: Doesn't she look regal and so in control sitting there. I used this image against a gold background card and added the archway to it.
When I first picked the image I really didn't think about what it would represent or even why it appealed to me. Such is the nature of SoulCollage. She's pretty don't you think? After creating this card I reflected on it a bit...and even though I haven't completed the exercise yet...some things jump out at me and I am starting to get to know this card, this part of me a bit.
This is the one who is rigid with following the rules, that is a bit stern and who frowns on fun and frolic. She has a position to maintain afterall and she can't just let loose. She longs to though, sitting there with folded hands and a slight smile. Behind that face that gives nothing away is one who longs to be free and dance in the moonlight!
The Wild One
Isn't it interesting that I created this card around the same time as the Royalty card? Again thinking of nothing in particular...simply seeing some images and putting them together to create this card. I call it The Wild One.
The Wild One wanders the earth, seeking adventure, dancing in the full moonlight, walking barefoot in the dirt, and eating berries with juice running down her face! She is primitive, perhaps, but in tune with her own needs and wants and desires.
So there you have it: two SoulCollage cards created through free thought and the selection of random images, coming together to let the soul speak. They were created and only days later did the ideas about them unfold in my mind...The Royalty and The Wild One....I love them both!
