The Life Shield is about you, made by you with your energies. It is a reminder of how far in life you have travelled and you will find that as you begin your design which can be very simple it will take on a life of its own. You will be putting your energy into the shield and it will be your symbol of yourself as regards where you came from and where your are going. Each person will produce something very different there are no rules just creation and self expression and of course fun and relaxation. The following information is aimed at cutting down the time so that everyone can get on into their painting: Most important of all, you do not have to be an artist to be able to create a life shield.
The workshop will run over two days but if you can only do one day one week and the other day the following please let us know - its not a problem. Lunch will be served/tea/coffee, if you have special needs as regards food, please let us know.
The Life Shield came to life when I wanted to do something as a gift for a friend, I asked her to write 10 things down that she liked, that made her who she was, things that were important to her. Then I set about finding signs to match up with her choices, I went on to Native American sites and found her animal guide and other symbols that I also used on her life shield. By the time I had finished the Life shield I had also been on to the NASA site and found the Crab nebular that I used and I added some items that I knew she would love along with what she had chosen. I added crystals and feathers using no nails and I trimmed the edges with material and pinned it all down nicely.
The board will be round, the paints will be Acrylic. If you have your own you are welcome to bring them along but please mark them and any brushes you might bring with you. I am painting one for myself so you will see one complete and if Lynn finishes hers you will see how different and personal they are. I will have a list of symbols that you can choose from. If you want to bring crystals to add make them small ones, I have a fairy earring that I am going to add to my sheild, since I lost one it makes sense as Fairies live here too. So if you have some personal items you want to add please bring them with you.
