Goddess Plates


Just like our Goddess sculptures, our Goddess plate activity focused on how we view ourselves and our relationship with the world around us.  They are a celebration of our brilliance and a radical acceptance of who we are, now.  We enjoyed the idea that it would be excellent for our self-esteem to eat from our Goddess plates.

Debbie H: The Goddess is about who and what you are with the heart embracing the lumps and bumps and wobbly bits. The tree, plants, moon and birds represent being free from all the negativity around bad body image and people's negative comments.
Jaccie: Here my Goddess looks to her right, indicating that she is using the creative half of her brain and looking towards her destiny. She is hoping that her crow will protect her and warn her should death be lurking near-by. Crows have long been considered messengers of death. However, today they symbolise a new phase in someone’s life, it means that you should leave all the past behind you because something new has been born.
Christina: The inspiration comes from Fragonard's 'The Swing'. I love the original painting. In my version, it's basically about how hope springs eternal, even when things feel hopeless - and to say that we can be free in even the smallest space... in our heads or in physical reality... So my Goddess is swinging out into the future and envisioning that it will hold joy...
Laura: A Goddess plate inspired by nature and the four seasons.
Carol C: My idea was for the Goddess of Nature, as I love being in nature. I've included all the elements. Fish for water, sun for fire, butterfly for air, flowers for earth and birds for spirit.
Carole H: I sketched it as though my Goddess was looking into a crystal ball, to see the near future. The actual plate doesn't quite show that, but it was fun to do! Not very mystical... Just me selfishly dreaming about everything I want! Sunshine, palm trees, more cuddles with my boxer dog, my wedding party, to get back learning about aromatherapy, and a chance to get dressed up to wear some bling for a change!
Rachel: I was scrolling through Google looking for 'Goddess' inspiration and found a quote from Indira Gandhi. I googled it and found Goddess Shakti. She was just what I was looking for, so here she is and I've added the quote around the outside.

Anne H - My Goddess plate has my Goddess as the body of a tree with outspread branches full of leaves. She is firmly rooted and strong whilst continually growing, with many branches, like many arms - like me she is doing many things in my life to look after my family and friends.
