Dreamboard: The Full Frost Moon
Dreamboard. Full Frost Moon. November 2009.
This dreamboard didn’t turn out as I had planned it, not at all. And here I thought I had clear idea for what I wanted to bring into November! Since I’ve been spending my autumn expanding, following my heart, being in my creative process, participating in projects, resetting my internal compass, getting to know new friends and connecting with old ones, I felt it was time to, consolidate. To retreat to my home, to prepare for the holidays, find peace, bring beauty to my home, do yoga and sort out drawers. That is what my dreamboard was supposed to be about, but it took a direction of its own.
What I see is a dreamboard that’s about giving my creativity wings! Finding creative freedom. And a dreamboard strongly influenced by the bright colours of the autumn leaves, that bring me so much joy and inspiration!
For those of you who feel inspired by this dreamboard, I created Satsuma Sky, a desktop wallpaper and calendar for November with this motif. I hope you enjoy it!

Kate,
I LOVE the colors, and texture/imagery’s elemental shadowing- indisputable evidence of life. I feel I’m looking through waxed paper at amber light; Or as if there was vaseline smeared lovingly over my eyes! Dreamy!
The new to me picture of you is so cute too.
All that makes me glad I scanned through my twitter scene tonight. Thank You for shining. It is such a delight!
I am fixing to get busy- I feel the push, the fire. my muse is awake. rubbing her eyes. I come to life when the days get short. Am touching/repotting/pruning the garden. Paint is seductively pursuing my mind! More will be revealed.
I Adore Winter!
It’s amazing how our dreams take shape before our eyes when we do these boards! Enjoy the flight. May your creativity soar!
I love the colors, the moody feeling.
My your creative wings take flight and find their freedom
@Leslie, how wonderful to hear from you! Thank you for your poetic comment and I can’t wait to see how your winter unfolds! Take care!
@Jamie, YES, it’s so magic to see the process and how the “rational thoughts” transform when working through them in image form! Truly wonderful!
@Rebecca and Suzie thank you so much for your appreciation and well wishes!
Gorgeous, Kate, truly wonderful. I love how our art can take on a life of itself and its symbols can have so much meaning for where we are.
Beautiful dreamboard and thanks for sharing it… what a great idea to share it as a wallpaper! Enjoy your creativity and time to yourself and family while retreating in your home… I love that feeling as well.
Isn’t it amazing and wonderful when dreamboards seem to have a mind of their own? Yours is simply beautiful… and inspires me tremendously. Many blessings to you as your creative dreams take flight!
Oh wow! I love love love this :-)
Isn’t it amazing how the dreamboard you end up with is never really what you expect? That happens to me all the time, and yet it never ceases to surprise me.

NOW, I finally feel like it’s autumn when looking at your beautiful dreamboard – thanks for sharing it as a wallpaper!
Starting off November in Arizona with 85-90F (29-32C) feels more like summer than fall. Seeing your lovely purples and oranges capture the spirit of the season, even though I’m still in shorts and flip flops.
GORGEOUS GORGEOUS colors and sense of peace!

I loved your dreamboard. although the birds were not phoenix’s, that was the image it conjured for me – you are like the phoenix rising from the fire and ashes
Thank you for offering the beautiful image of a phoenix!
So pretty. Can you tell me more about dream boards?
Dana, Jamie Ridler hosts full moon dreamboards. The idea is to create a kind of vision board for the coming month, fueled by the power of the full moon!
