Back in February I joined the big national store Hobbycraft - there were opening a new concept store in Aintree Liverpool {long overdue!!}. I was soooo happy to get these extra hours to add to my blend of working. As an artist and healer, being surrounded by this amazing store of arts, crafts, making and baking, just made my heart go pitter patter. The place where you get to be inspired. The new team all in place, we started our training in a different store, while the new one was being created and fitted out. In these 8 weeks of interim training, we were all asked to contribute to making new items for the store - wonderful pieces that could be shown throughout to highlight the products we sell. I offered to do Soul Portraits of all the new staff members, 22 plus the Manager, Ben Assistant Manager, Scott and the North West Area Manager, David. I started asking all the new team to send me selfies, and give me an idea of the colours they liked. One by one I drew them, one by one, they began to see reflections of themselves in the illustrations. It was a tight turnaround but finally they were all completed. It was decided to also try to find badges that all colleagues could wear on their aprons. I was so lucky to find a great company in North Wales called Badge Planet {who I can't recommend highly enough for their speedy and specialist service}. After I scanned in all the images, we ordered 75 mm badges. {Really big ones!}. The frames we found from a fabulous supplier and I couldn't have wished for a better display up the stairs to the mezzanine level, leading up to Haberdashery and the Art section {my kinda haven}. I have never seen my work exhibited in this way, as usually, they're sold and sent to people's houses and I never really get to see them again. This way, I say hello to all my art work every time I'm working in the store - how fab is that! Not only that, as every piece has Reiki symbols weaved within each illustration, they will be creating healing for the recipient and subsequently within the store. Pretty cool heh. Bring on the Feng Shui! The response has been magical, you get a really happy welcome when you approach the sliding doors to enter and as you take each step up the stairs, you feel quite colourful by the time you reach the top. Here's to many more Soul Portraits and creating healing pieces of art. Much Love Jules xxx
