Here is a word on visualization.
Definition of visualization: the formation of mental visual images. In the picture above, I show you examples using a tiny icon that have turned into a face, an arrow, a pen, and a bow. You let your mind VISUALIZE what that icon could turn into. Remember. It doesn't have to be a perfect face or arrow or pen or bow. But it's yours!
I use these icons often in playing a game called
STRINGERS. I developed it several years
ago, and often use it when wanting to create something unique and fun! A stringers items page would look something
like this.
I have many of these from several years ago, and
one day soon, on my blog, we will cover how to do STRINGERS. But today, you can see I took item 2 above,
and used it for my visualization V letter for today’s lesson.
Ways I might use my STRINGERS are below:
My finished project might look like this:
Back to visualization. Here’s a diagram of how I would use a mandala
I created to start a visualization for a new character. This picture shows the steps I went through
to reach my final creation.
In the top left box, you see the finished
outline of my creature, and the mandala is ever so faint behind him. If you zoom in on the picture, you can see
the creature in the outline of the mandala.
It may not give you all of him, but all you need is seeing something to
start from, and then taking it from there.
I improvised with the arms, hands and feet. After I got my creature finished, it was time
to add some color to him. You see two
different colored creatures above; one big, and one small.
You could also start with scribbling on a
page. You look deeply into the shapes
till you find something interest to give you a start. Turn the printed page around in each
direction. I often find two to five
interesting starters. It’s like seeing
pictures in wood grains or in clouds.
Our brains recognize face shapes automatically, so it’s often easy to
find a beginning creature to start.
If you have not tried this form of art play, I
suggest you try it. Many people use it
or a variation.

Here’s one last card with a joke in it and a
quote. This little worm guy started from
just the two horns on his head. I didn’t
know he was going to be a worm till I got down to the bottom, and he just kind
of “created himself”.
Okay! That’s it for today’s graphics.
Use them with some pre-made cards and envelopes, and your cards will just
take a minute to get together.
