This morning I knew exactly what I wanted to do and how I was going to do it. By lunch time, my box was ready…no sweat! I made a self portrait box (30 x 7 cm), in which the pencils, the brushes and the paint stand for my artistic self, the book for my love of reading and making books, the rabbit on the book for my fantasies, the moon for my moodiness, the pic of me as a little girl with wings for my great dreams and imagination, the Eiffel Tower for French being my first language and for the memories connected to Paris, the Maple leaf for my childhood spent in Canada, the cat for my love of these animals, the witch behind the book for my home which has one of those as a weather vane and the uneven legs for my search for my own voice…I’m very glad with the results….very glad!
And today I had a friend over and despite always bragging about not being artistic, she made a lovely shrine to Dr.Bach (of the Bach remedies) and went home full of plans for other artistic projects…it’s nice to be able to inspire and show people how everyone is artistic…All in all it was a very good day.So here are my box, my journal page and last night’s quilt square….
