Creative Fairy Godmother

 One of the scariest of our painting process with Intentional Creativity is the  "risky glaze,"   where we take our painting into the fog ... During my  first class , our teacher Elizabeth handed us a spray bottle, a big brush and transparent color (Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold) diluted with a bit of water, and a soft cloth (piece of T-shirt). She had us lay our canvases flat, then demonstrated spraying the canvas, brushing on the color, and then burnishing it in, using the cloth! ... And then we went off to lunch!  Yikes and  Wow!!  Used this way, a glaze integrates the colours we've used, and helps unify the picture. It also offers an opportunity to reflect on what is going "into the fog," what concepts are being integrated.  We move back  (5-6 feet away from the canvas) to gain perspective, and spend some time with our journals, exploring inquiries, "what do you want me to know?" ... "What can you help me understand and integrate?" .....

Songs of Light  We are the Bright ones Sprung from Stardust wind in our wings and a song in our hearts! We are the Light bringers, the ones who ignite soul fire Soaring into the golden web Encircling Mama Gaia  Do you hear us singing at dawn? Do you feel us, tugging at your heart cords?  It is time, and more than time To Sing our Songs of Light,  To add our voices, full throttle, to the great choir of life!  To break the silence To sing  To dance to love, accept, allow, envision  To call the tribe spread to the directions It is time! Wake up!  It is time Oh Sada, it is good! I am a Way shower & visionary guide My internal compass is strong & points true I sing my Songs of Light, Inviting you to awaken & share your gifts!

  Beloveds who are new to our painting community are often a bit nervous  (shakin' in our boots!)  when it's time to do the first glaze! And why not? We're got several layers on the canvas, we may really like what's there -  and now you want me to cover it up??  Ugh! How do we best explain and share the process with these new beloveds? When I took my very first  Muse class  in 2014, I was having a good time with ceremony, visioning, painting and journaling, ... Then Elisabeth told us we were going to paint over our canvas with a  Risky Glaze  - ¿paint over? ¿glaze? Yikes!!  So how do we glaze and why? Applying a glaze, a thin layer of translucent paint, is a great way to integrate what has gone before, and is a key component of our process with Intentional Creativity® It is also a simple way to add  Mothercolour , which brings harmony to the whole painting.
