How to make homemade scratch art + Therapeutic Project for GRIEF/LOSS

7 FREE Printable Templates for grief art projects: danicatheartist.com/project-gr... ... Create a homemade scratch art project using oil pastels, paint and dish soap (yep, that's right). I used this project as a metaphor for recovering the gifts that a lost loved one has given you, but that got covered because of the darkness of grief and pain. When you scratch your own designs into the soft covering, revealing colors underneath, you'll feel inspired too.
Note: This project needs to be done in two sessions to allow for drying time.
