Play, Create, Enjoy, Share
Create a set of 12 mixed media art cards to express your gratitude to family, friends, or perfect strangers. Like my "Kindness Cards" (a mixed media Art Play Date I have presented many times in person), these cards are fun to make and perfect to share as little random acts of kindness. Playing with different media to create a layered background is an intuitive process that frees you from the inner critic and brings you joy. Experience the joy of creating something you love. Then, when you share it, someone else can feel all that joy!
What You'll Make
We will play with collage as a first layer, and then add layers on top. We'll add gesso, water soluble media, and marks. When the cards are cut it's magical! Then, you'll select (from two PDFs provided) words to add a focal point to the fronts, and a quote about gratefulness to the backs. Add some finishing touches and the cards are ready to share.
Classroom Opens November 15th
The "Share Your Joy" DIY Book Tour Art Play Date
This course originated in the in-person Art Play Dates I held during my 2023 Book Tour promoting my book: "Share Your Joy: Mixed Media Shareable Art." "Kindness Cards" was joyfully received by everyone during my tour. From my art community, I also received inquiries about whether it would be available online. Well, now it is! I hope you'll join me in creativity and joy to make this version of the cards: Tokens of Gratefulness.
