House of Perception - The Back of My House

10/4/13

As a treat-to-self and celebration of the culmination of my 365 Day Project,
I found a meetup group for creatives in the Dallas area (Express Yourself Artistically) and joined a class called,

We made a 'house of perception' based on the five senses, using several intuitive exercises and a guided meditation.  Great day and several fun, talented and artistic women in class.   Artfully led by Rosemary.


Here's my final collage from that day.

The Back of My House
During class I found a hand-made sticker with flowers, a sun, and my name on it. Since there weren't names on any of the other materials we had to work with in class, I figured it was "meant to be" and used it for my house.  Found out later it was made by our instructor, Rosemary's, sister during another art class... prior to her sister's passing.  For a moment it was melancholy in the room, but then I felt delighted and privileged for happening across such a precious item.  I get to enjoy a colorful symbol of light and life, and Rosemary got to have a good memory of her sister and their time together.
