Art making is an incredible gift that we can give to ourselves, nurturing the soul and spirit by creating beauty with color, pattern, texture, and light. This magical online course makes a wonderful gift for yourself or others teaching very beginning to professional artists new skills related to making art and gifts in relaxing and empowering ways for only $25.
_Because some people learn best with stories and narratives, others with simple step by step directions and others are visual learners who learn best by seeing images and watching demonstrations, Spirited Gift Making was created using all these modalities in a fun and empowering format.
Here's a short video...
_Think about it
The holiday season tends to be a time of incredible financial, emotional, and chronological stress. This year instead of getting sucked into what we imagine to be others expectations, let’s take a little time out and instead of running from store to store and spending way too much time and money, nurture ourselves and others we love by making easy, inexpensive, customized gifts that make us and them happy while engaging our spirits and creativity in joyful ways. 

I chose the word "spirited" as an association with - having courage, liveliness, conscious life, the metaphysical connection of body and soul, and relating to the spiritual or sacred. These concepts inform the course which infuses art and craft techniques with ideas and meaning. Designed for both complete novices to experienced artists this course is ideal for teachers, home-schooling parents, therapists, coaches, families and friends. The course is self-paced so you can take it and do it whenever it suits your schedule with zero pressure.

For the incredibly low price of $25, you’ll learn easy watercolor, acrylic, sculpting, jewelry making, and needle felting techniques - as much or as little as you like - whenever you like! You’ll learn to make celebratory gift cards, magical wish boxes, love frames, serenity bracelets, Victorian silhouette portraits and fabulous needle-felted brooches. With access to a private website, an e-book of all the course content, videos and lesson plans adapted for children, PLUS our own private online gallery to post out inspiring gifts.

You’ll also learn about the history and meaning of gift giving from different cultures around the world.

You can do spirited gift making at any time at your leisure, following along online or with your e-book.
Your $25 provides unlimited access for these months (Dec-Feb), (Mar-May), (Jun-Aug), (Sep-Nov) depending on which month you sign up in, plus you get to keep your e-book forever.
You'll be using minimal materials to keep your costs down, receiving tons of free downloadable resources such as vintage clip art, watching fun instructional videos, and receiving downloadable pdfs and lesson plans adapting the projects for children to keep. You'll be focusing on who you're making your gifts for as an act of love and as a spiritual practice to:
  • make your own loving card as an affirmation of life ready to print from your printer (or have inexpensively printed - resources provided)
  • create a magical wish box 
  • influence how we frame what we see in life by creating an empowering storytelling picture frame
  • learn to make cut paper silhouette portraits of loved ones or animals
  • create serenity bracelets
  • learn about the pleasures of needle-felting
    and much more
