My first project is one I did in my prayer journal. Truth be told, sometimes the process includes some yelling. On paper. In writing. And then I covered it all with black paint. But, as I processed what I was feeling, beauty began to emerge. I added Wayward Blooms (oops-didn’t realize they are retired) in white on the background. I call them Queen Ann’s Lace—not sure that’s right, but they are my favorite. And, of course, we all know what happens to the caterpillar. 😊 I just adore Seraphim Wings 🦋 and it perfectly fit the vibe I also added some arty sprays and gold leafing around and about.
Change can be hard and take some time, but the result can also be beautiful.
I appreciate your comments and by commenting each day of my week, you will have a chance to win a gift certificate to the Unity Stamp Company store. We all feel good 😉
Blessings on your week—TTFN, Jane
