Outside the Box


I'm pretty happy with this piece.... not because it is extraordinarily beautiful, or because of the great detail or even because it has remarkable calligraphy displayed..... because it has neither of those...
I like this because
I WENT OUTSIDE the BOX...
I pushed myself to NOT over think everything, to just do it!
I didn't focus on creating wonderful letters-and then getting discouraged....I just did it....

My biggest struggle is a funny one..... i unintentionally created the background to mimic the dress my mother wore, I believe at my first wedding in 1984..... not that there was anything wrong with the dress, it was a perfectly fine dress.....it just became my mothers dress....I can FEEL the fabric.....LOL

I also tried combing different supplies.....watercolour paint, crayons, marker and even pencil crayon.....thats huge for me...again-LOL.

Well Happy Creating.

blessings,
Cynthia♥

    I for one love how the background turned out- backgrounds are always the hardest part for me. How funny that it is so much like your Mom's dress!
    And looking above I see that happy birthday wishes are in order!- a very Happy Birthday to you, Cynthia!
