We started our first Emotion Tempestry with our 8-year old to record her daily moods in a non-judgmental and safe way during a globally stressful time. Ending each day with a quick recap of what color the day felt like became a sweet bedtime ritual, and on the occasions when we forgot for a couple days, it became an exercise in sifting through the previous days to get to the kernel of emotion beneath them.
Beads can be used to mark specific events within the overall mood/color of the day. For example, a happy yellow yarn day might still have an angry red bead to mark an argument or a frightened purple bead to mark a particularly bad dream. An anxious orange yarn day might still get a happy yellow bead to mark a friend’s visit or loving a new book or, in our case, learning to knit.
Emotion Tempestries can be general, with just a smattering of beads (if any), or quite specific with lots of beads. Our starter kits provide small amounts of all five colors, but keep in mind that every Emotion Tempestry is unique and will use different amounts of each color. We also offer the beads and yarn colors individually to supplement your starter kit as needed.
