Heartlight Angels Folk Art 7 Postcard Set
Heartlight Angels Folk Art Postcards Set of 7 Different Designs Angel is another term for messenger. May these messengers inspire and encourage us. I painted each angel and cut them out like paper dolls. The wings were so fun to make using actual maple leaves, doilies, lace fabric, and fabric flower petals for some. The backgrounds are just as diverse from sheet music, tie-dye paper, sewing patterns, corrugated cardboard and scrap wood in a fun folk-art style using what was available. I tried to listen and let the angels share kind and encouraging messages. You can place them on an altar, shelf, or desk or place in the mail to pass it on. ♡ May we witness the angels of love and light all around us. ♡ These could also be left in public restrooms, dressing rooms, doctor's waiting rooms, or where ever else you may roam that you'd like to leave a trail spreading seeds of kindness and scattering sweet smiles.

Weave Love Folk Art Angel Postcards
"Weave Love" Folk Art Angel Postcard ~ Available in Sets of 5 Angel is another term for messenger. May this messenger inspire and encourage. This angel reminds me most of an angelic form of wisdom, Sophia, for some reason. In high school, I recited the song “Tapestry” by Carole King as a poem in memory of my aunt who died at the age of 18 and before I was born. So this angel reminds me of her, whom I have often imagined as my guardian angel. When I initially did the sketch, none of the above had come to mind. I just had an image of an angel holding pieces of thread that represent the different choices that make up our lives. Once the thread came to mind, the idea of a tapestry soon followed. The skirt was cut from an old shirt of my mom’s. I used the sewing machine to sew the tree in the center of the skirt with variegated thread and add the leaves on the border of the skirt. I wanted the tree to be represented in different seasons so I used acrylic paint to add spring buds, summer leaves, fall leaves, and winter bare branches with snow flakes around them. The background fabric is blue to represent the sky. The sun painted on her shirt was meant to be the sun above the tree. Then, her forehead wanted a sun, too (symbolic of wisdom, light, third eye?). The wings are made of lace and the background includes a sewing pattern. I tried to listen and let the angel share kind and encouraging messages. You can place the card on an altar, shelf, or desk or place in the mail to pass it on. ♡ May we witness angels of love and light all around us. ♡ These could also be left in public restrooms, dressing rooms, doctor's waiting rooms, or where ever else you may roam that you'd like to leave a trail spreading seeds of kindness and scattering sweet smiles.

Wise Words Playbook (e-book)
Explore the Power of Words, Meanings, and Intention through a Language Art Journal This e-book contains over 25 pages with guidance and suggested activities for using a journal to delve into selected words in multiple ways.

As a manager, teacher, and advisor over the years, I’ve witnessed the magic of word play and the vast potential of language to lift up or tear down, to build barriers or build bridges. This applies to the way we speak to ourselves as well as others! In this e-book, we look further into various aspects of language to detect and determine the ways that we let words define us.

Communication is such a huge part of being human, especially in modern times with texts, captions, blogs, and written reports. Almost everyone can benefit from these skills. Our words and stories also have the potential to shape and transform our communities for better or worse. Let's cultivate this awareness and choose our words wisely.

You will receive:
  • 28 Page downloadable PDF featuring 15 Printable Activity Sheets + a sheet of Printable Prompt Cards
  • References & Recommendations related to the topic
  • Fresh ideas and inspiration
  • Support for any questions via email
  • A cheerleader for your creative potential (and the tools to become your own cheerleader!)
About the Author: Julia Ostara, aka Jules, is the creator of two inspiring oracle card decks, author of two books, and facilitator for fun creative courses. She loves to inspire people to grow and glow from the inside out while exploring their own wisdom and wonder.
