MOON PHASES 2023
$30.00
FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 2023
FIRST FULL MOON OF 2023!
10:00 am until 1:00 pm
Join in while I create my new moon phase calendar for 2023.
I will share last year’s hand written, drawn and painted calendar cards and hand stitched book cover for the book I created to hold them. I have enjoyed these cards over the past months. The cards provide me with the visuals I need to connect more easily with nature and the planets in the universe. The moon is the brightest and largest object in our night sky and makes Earth a more livable planet.
Tides in masses of water are created by the moon. Farmers plant by the phases of the moon. The full moon heightens the senses of animals and humans alike. The moon is Earth’s most constant companion.
Put your tea kettle on or pour a fresh coffee. Join in or enjoy your recordings later to create alone.
This class will travel from beginning to end and their will be time for individual creating during class in order to have your own finished calendar and book as I finish mine with you.
Expect:
- Learn about layout and design for creating your own style
- Hear about and learn ways to use different art materials for painting, writing, drawing and preserving
- Have fun learning more about the moon
- Stitch a moon inspired piece on cloth for a book cover
