Hello Allison you may be new and nervous but don't be because you have a wonderful way of painting and you should be very proud of what you are achieving. Hope you will stick around and give us all some easy tuitorials to help us on our way. Thank you❤
@@jerrygill4828 it’s a collection of cards that are illustrated and sometimes each card is symbolic or has a story of some kind, or the entire deck can be a collection with a “story”. ( that’s how i am creating it - by this definition).
This is so inspiring for someone like me who aspires to self-illustrate their own decks someday. We need more genuine, authentic, and empathic people like this in the world - doing videos and sharing their visions and creative processes. Thank you for taking the time 🩵
awesome! fellow Cdn in the process of birthing my first deck SO EXCITED!! Wondering which printing company you'll choose as the grand finale :) I LUV the concept of all of your art works to be everlasting with this deck SO SMART!!!
Allison. I LOVE watching your videos! Thank you so much for sharing your genius😊. I am watching a video where you are commenting on your thumbs…..my daughter has the same thumbs. She is a creative person also….haha. I think it comes with them. I call them her crazy thumbs, we laugh about them too. All the best to you!!❤
Stunning work Allison. I love the size of the “postcard”, your art fits! Since I started watching your channel two weeks ago, I have just signed up for the Modern Mixed Media Course by Laura Horn starting June 1st. I understand your excitement it can be so strong it makes you feel sick. Creation is a high frequency and elevates the people around you. Just by people being near you or looking at your work will raise them up! God bless you & thank you!💓
Very beautiful. The beginning of this video was without a doubt a synchronicity for me. “Remember to breathe.” - literately 2-3 minutes before I clicked on this video, I had told my husband that I’m starting to experience and believe that almost everything in life breaks down to breathing. Angry? Breathe. Scared? Breathe. Feeling bad? Deep breathes. Can’t sleep? Deep breathes. Life or death situation? Breathe deeply so you can think/act. Everything I can think of… just breathe. Sorry for the long comment, it’s just I feel like a real goofball bc it took me 40 years to figure that part out. Better late than never, I suppose! But about the video’s content, I appreciate your sharing the experiences of creating your deck. I’m halfway done with my first ever deck before being self-published, so I crave these videos. Lol
Thanks for sharing this and congrats on being super close to self publishing your deck! incredible. Funny thing about synchronicity as just as I was reading this I needed the reminder about my breath. good timing for me as I read this reply!
Allison, I really appreciate the thought process behind the creation of your first art deck. I am looking forward to having more of your art as well as the prompts for reflection. I know it is going to be both beautiful and inspirational and I can't wait to hold a copy in my hands! Thank you for sharing the journey via YT! I love the conversation with your husband that you shared (and I also totally relate to all the reasons you felt pressured and rushed and with a brain that doesn't stop), and that by asking the question he is reminding you of the words you have included in your art like stillness, remember your breath and enjoy the journey. 💗💗💗
hello Allison! I love your works and your videos are super inspiring!! I bought Cathy’s course last year and I’m still stuck, maybe your enthusiasm will pushing me to finally start 😃☝🏻 thank you! can’t wait to see your deck finished, look amazing! congrats!! how exciting!! hugs, Francesca
@@allisondawrant thank you so much Allison! I have a course from Alena (but not the deck one’s) I love her work as well!! I think you are right, my time will come when has to be ☺️ but I hope to do something soon! thank you again for the inspiration, I really appreciated all the things that you are sharing, great values here 🙌🏻☺️ hugs!!
I love your work. I am wanting to incorporate inspiring scripture, and my life alignment to it in my art for empowering others in their spiritual life. I love the card size for gifts and coffee table discussion. Blessings from Florida.
Your beautiful Oracle has a voice that speaks to the soul. The artwork is like peaceful moments held fast for us to find inspiration and energy. These stunning cards will be like friends comforting and encouraging us, a joy to own. They are a treasure, we look forward to their release. Thank you for putting so much into this project. For it will give so much to so many. Wonderful video ❤❤❤👏
Ive been painting watercolour for 4 years im 53. I have done hundreds of paintings and i dont really like any of the finished work. But i keep painting because i love the process of painting. Your work looks great, Im enjoying your videos. Good luck with your you tube channel😊
Wow! I love your work and your spirit. Try holding them in the early morning when your half asleep and partly awake… using the full spiritual experience of VISIONS.; in your mind through your soul. Then naming them permanently. Sending much love. ~Amy. From Texas ❤
Hello Alison. I love your art and can’t wait to buy your Oracle cards, they are beautiful. I am learning so much from your tutorials, they are so colorful please keep them coming. Thank you and hello from New Zealand.
So beautiful! I look forward to purchasing your deck when it becomes available. (Hint: my favorite feeling cards are printed on a high end linen like paper😀😀😀)
Love your beautiful art! I think you mentioned once that you might include a guide book with expanded thoughts for each card? Since you are not making a tarot deck (good), but rather a card deck shaped vehicle for people to experience a stack of handheld images and inspiring quotes, it seems like putting the same image on the back of every card is a wasted opportunity. I wonder if the backs of the cards might be a good place for the expanded prompts and encouragements, while keeping the facing side simple, with just the image and brief line like you have it. But I’m sure whatever you end up doing will be delightful.
hello, can I ask what was your original artwork on and did the sizes matter for you when it came to putting them into an oracle size, I am currently in a similar process and. am curious if the sizing if the original artwork will in any way obstruct/ create problems for the final print, any help would ge very appreciated, your deck looks wonderful, thankyou
great question and congrats on being at that stage of your card journey. My artwork is quite abstract and most of it was photographs of originals that were 9x12" , 11x 14", 18x 12" - some larger and some smaller. So, in general, if you have a good iphone and get good photos (take before varnishing the work), size of the original doesn't matter, unless the composition is really off. For example, if you painted more realistic work, and the original of someone's face is a longer composition and you are putting into a square format for the card deck- it will make the person look quite different... not sure this is a great example- but you get the idea! Feel free to reach out anytime if I can help. Have fun!
@@allisondawrant oh! Thank you for letting me know. That's too bad because your deck looks absolutely stunning!!! You have such talent, so, so inspiring!!!
thanks Brenda- I'm new to Canva but it's like photoshop for what I'm using for. I am sizing my art for the deck of cards I'd like and have added a frame and words to the card with the art in the centre. When I've had it edited several times, it will be ready for print. I'm also doing the box design in canva but have hired a graphic designer to help as it's very tedious!
essentially they are just stickers, with a gentle stickiness that is meant for walls.... a great way to "stick" art onto your laptop or waterbottle or whereever you can stick it! (doesn't damage the underlying surface).
When something is bothering me i turn to west and leave my back facing the east and pray from there, it's like the energy that i have overflown becomes pure healing like magic. I am good with reiki but this is like aligning to myself much deeper and it works. I hope more people would find this helpful somehow. Great to see creative arts that can be used for something good
@@allisondawrant Mysterious healer I travel through time and space through the divine as a healer, my lady. There's always time and space to meet together as i am. Jesus gave me the sign that he is inside the kingdom of god and he works directly through me. If you hold up your right hand palm towards north while you are facing towards west using your left hand palm to your head crown as your tongue is behind your upper teeth you will activate the healing process through your alignment through the spine all the way down to the Coccyx (the back tail). Use sage smoke essence to ease the process and you will be reborn through the ashes. I hope this helps you as it helped me when i found out how it works. Lots of hugs and success i send so you also can feel free from hard and rough days.
Hi, thanks so much for your inspiring and healing art and energy...I really connect with what u r making. May I ask where you purchased your wallpaper labels, where you got them printed and which company you will print your oracle cards with? Thanks so very much, Angelina
I have an incredible local printing company here in Calgary- www.artmagik.ca and they did my wallpaper labels for me- although they specialize in fine art and canvas prints primarily (this was just a small project I'd asked for help with). But check out their work and offerings as they are the best in town. I am still researching print companies for my oracle deck. I love the draft deck that I got from Little Rock Printing Co, here in Calgary. I also need to give credit to Alena Hennessey and Cathy Nichols (both artists that offer unique courses on creating oracle decks). They share all of their tips and tricks and I highly recommend checking out their offerings.
@@allisondawrant awwww thx so much for writing back! Big hugs and love...I can't wait to purchase ur deck. This is so magic. Have a great day beautiful soul!
I am at the beginning stage of creating my Oracle deck. Would you be willing to tell me what courses you are taking to help you turn your art into an Oracle deck?
Hi Beth- I've just started this TH-cam channel- only 3 weeks out!!!! I'm overwhelmed with the response and learning how to attach documents ect! Do you use TH-cam? Nice to see your name pop up! Stay tuned

Very much enjoy your videos and style. Just a little ditty about rushing a process. This is a line from the Tao Te Ching I thought was interesting - Forcing a project to completion, you ruin what was almost ripe.

What is an oracle deck?
And what are wallpaper labels?
@@jerrygill4828 essentially they are stickers. the sticker is made of wallpaper material, and they “peel and stick”
@@jerrygill4828 it’s a collection of cards that are illustrated and sometimes each card is symbolic or has a story of some kind, or the entire deck can be a collection with a “story”. ( that’s how i am creating it - by this definition).
I can’t wait for the oracle deck

Beautiful art! I am thinking of making my own Oracle deck. I can't draw, though. I paint abstract art.
