Creating a Tam Dreamboard

By Tamara Laporte  |   in mixed media  | Tags: affirmations , creative self care , dream board , self connection , mixed media art , willowing , Willowing Arts  

Hey wonderful creative friends, here a little blog post about creating a (Tam) Dreamboard that helps you manifest your dreams and call into your life what you want more of. My version of the dream board is a bit different from the more traditional one (where you mostly and only cut out collage pieces and glue them together onto a board). By contrast I like including my own face, paint, collage, doodles, affirmations and quotes too!! :)

This is one of my favourite type of paintings to create. Whenever I create a painting like this I go into a ‘zone’ of gentle, soothing self care. As I paint & decorate my face, surrounding myself with affirming imagery and words, it’s like I lovingly caress and care for myself.  

In this particular painting I first do an acrylics transfer of an image of my face, I then collage the background and layer over/ paint my face and background, adding imagery and positive affirmations + words & quotes that help soothe/ affirm me and call in the things I want to manifest. It’s a healing, sacred process, really. :) 

My February lesson for Life Book 2017  has just been ‘aired’. I demonstrate in depth how I create the Dreamboard painting below. People are already loving it and sharing their beautiful versions of the painting! If you want to join Life Book 2017, you still can and you’ll get access to all previously posted content. Hope to see you there!

Spent time painting this very sweet and soothing barn owl this evening. Even though I`ve been making art for years and know the calming effect creating art has on my nervous system; I continue to be amazed by how stress relieving it can be to just sit with paints and let the feelings flow. 😍

The Cozy Fest Alert! 🍁☕️Hello friends! As the weather here in the Northern hemisphere turns to dark, cold and COZY, I’m excited to let you know of a new creative bundle I’ve joined this year: The Cozy Fest!

It’s a space to explore, create, and reconnect with what brings you joy.
What I love about this bundle is that you are introduced to a variety of creative disciplines: from art making to sewing & basket making to photography, mosaics and wreath making, it has a little of everything!

And of course, I’m including a class of mine too!

Check out some of the fun projects that are included (see images).

And the class I’m including is of the sweet kitten sitting by the moonlight (called Guiding Light), it gives off such a sweet cozy vibe for me, I thought it fitted this bundle perfectly! meow! This is a full online class, showing you how to draw and then paint this luminous painting.
