Soulcrafting: a gallery
I’m getting ready to teach Soulcraft for the first time over at Flock. (I’m so excited!) To get ready I gathered up a lot of my past work — from 2004 onward — to share as examples. Wow! Was I surprised at how much I’d produced! (And these are only the one’s I’d already taken photos of or scanned into the computer.)
What would happen if you gathered up all the projects you’ve worked on in the past year to two? You might be pleasantly surprised! Stack all your knitting, gather all your sketches, print out all your poems. Let’s open a gallery!

That is great! Thanks for sharing! And who is it that is playing / speaking along with it? It’s lovely!
So freakin’ amazing.
The music is Tanya Davis and the song is called Art. I love her spoken word/ singer songwriter hybrid vibe.
Wow. I love your collages and mixed media. It really is wonderful to see the combined body of work and see how it all works together. It’s like a novel, as opposed to a paragraph.
I’m afraid that if I collected all my work done over the past couple of years, I might just crash some computers… that’s how much I’ve done since I started on this journey of getting back my creativity after having kids and ppd. Some of it is in storage in Florida, right now, too.
But I might be able to go back over my blog, and everything I’ve posted there… thanks to Picasa they’re all stored online. It might be a worthy enterprise to take stock of what I have created in this very difficult time in my life. I’m sure it is more creating than I’ve ever done before, even when I was free to spend days on end being creative.
That’s the kind of thing that hardship does for us. Makes us sure of what we want. Makes us choose the real things.
Love your work and the music and the video! Beautiful work!
Oh Magpie – the tears were just streaming down my face. Feeling a bit alone, going through divorce, happy as hell with life right now, but so desperately looking for that creative twitter of my self that’s been stuffed and tired. (Or stuffed and tied)… it is always so brilliant how things emerge. Beautiful!! Thank you… Thank you!!
wow! gorgeous my friend
Love this work.
What a gorgeous, inspiring, emotive, beautiful, collection of art. It makes me want to stand in front of each of them and slowly walk through the gallery. I’m transported.
I am IN LOVE with this!
So lovely and inspiring. I’m promising myself to do something creative tomorrow.
