Thoughtful Friday 136

"Don't ask yourself what the world needs; 

ask yourself what makes you come alive. 

And then go and do that.

 Because what the world needs

 is people who have come alive."



Howard Thurman

Index card a day

I signed up to do an art index card a day over at Daisy Yellow which I think is a great idea.  And indeed I have been doing my index card each day but I just haven't been posting them so here is a few to start with:

I used all sorts of things on these: top one - sequin waste and spray inks; one on left - covered in Tim Holtz tissue tape then gessoed over and stamped on; one on right a mixture of script tape and fabric tape with washi tape, paint and pastels and a stamped word.  It sure is fun!

speak with words sweet and strong

which emerge from their hearts

like the fragrance of orchids"
