Day 6

Image
  Today has been a massive day. A day of redemption, actually. Somehow the karma is mending, and that's what's most important to me.  I almost meditated for 44 minutes but I tapered off around minute 35, 36? (I set the timer for 11 minutes and continue for 22, 33, etc.) I know those black specs look quite ugly, but that was the point I was trying to make today. Overall it could have been a very pretty piece, but the black, the pain, it's there. You can't ignore it. You have to process it. Let it stay. 

Day 5

Image
"I'm a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie World..." --- No, that song wasn't in my mind during my meditation tonight, however when I opened up ProCreate and looked at the blank canvas, I immediately felt like creating this.  I'm not going to pretend like it didn't take more than a few attempts to get the words centered. And to dot the i's with a love heart shape. I'm not even 100% happy with the G but I was too far in to back track. (Note to self: try using layers next time!)  I was having fun. I was acknowledging that inner girly side of me.  I love pink, I love indulging in that side of my Femininity. It doesn't always come out when I'm busy working or attending to other obligations.  At least today I bought a pink bag for the gym! And in the evening I tried a new lip serum, just before this meditation, that totally forced me to acknowledge within myself, "Oh yeah, I'm a girly girl." --- When I have the space to play and feel safe. 

Day 4

Image
Today, I did not expect to become rather emotional from my meditation. I thought I cleared that Karma from Day 1! But alas, these things are never a 24-hour turn-around.  I'm so grateful that I still had time. Because of what I was reflecting on, shortly after creating this artwork I could pick up the phone and talk about it to the person that I wanted to clear the karma with. It was forgiven, it was okay. I'm so grateful I could make amends.  The colours in today's piece are revisiting some environments from my past, including past employers... yes.  The barbed wire-like pattern going horizontally across, that was a lot of pain. A lot of pain from my past.  The white glowing figure sitting in the middle is me. I found my peace with it, eventually. It even took about 30 minutes of meditating today to feel finally at peace.  The little pink love heart in the center --- and see if you can spot some other pink heart outlines throughout. The little bits of love, compassion, wid

Day 3

Image
Day 3. What a day that today has been.  Where do I even begin? Firstly, I wanted a dark background. I wanted to show something in a different light.  My meditation today was very specifically attempting to clear the karma of something going on, something out of the blue, something I wasn't expecting... without giving too many details publicly, it was a bit weird, a bit off; just one of those types of days.  The small figure towards the left of this image, I'm not 100% happy with but that was all the energy I had for today to doodle it like that...  I would like to refine it in other pieces, but this is Day 3 right here.  In high school, I did a similar composition, I have since lost the original piece. I don't know when or if I will ever re-create it. But it was meant to represent a soul, trying to find... something.      

Day 2

Image
I've had a very peaceful day today. But even the dark reds and greys still surprised me. There wasn't anything particularly triggering during my day today that I can think of in my conscious mind that would warrant the potential pain that could be interpreted from what's going on there. I received my 4th Covid jab! Is it my body crying out on this image instead? I felt a little tired, I'm proud of myself for committing to this practice --- only Day 2, I know --- but still, it is an achievement nonetheless.  Sometimes when I am back on OpenSea and looking at other artists' creations I feel like my little splashes and splutters on ProCreate are just so darn amateur --- but then I remind myself that we're all on our own journeys.  And I'm okay with the Truth that is in this abstraction. I'm okay with the Truth of today that I am sharing.  ... Does it look like there is bleeding? Yes, a little bit. In fact today's meditation was really more about listeni

Clear the Karma, Day 1

Image
Day 1 of my 108 days meditation collection.  As I said in my Tik Tok, the intention is to clear the Karma.  You don't need to resonate if you don't believe in anything to do with karmic energy or things like that. You can take it as a piece of abstract artwork, as that is part of my intention as well.  The feelings that I've been processing lately have led me down this rabbit hole and I can't ignore the need to create art, and then simply share it online with the NFT community --- people who truly recognise good art and appreciate art for art's sake.  I don't know about utilities, and whatever other special lingo there is for NFT trends.  I know that since I was a little girl I've loved visual arts, throughout high school, art was my favourite subject. By university, I didn't pursue it academically but I have always kept the art within my heart.  It's only Day 1. So I'll say this much for now.
