Botanicals: a most wonderful theme this week for Artwords. I love everything about botanicals and I love the vintage aspect of the word.
For this piece I've used tea stained paper on card stock. I've applied an image from an old book and added words of my own composition. The hand made paper pieces are from a collection I made a number of years ago. They have dried herbs and flowers from my own garden added. I just made the shipping tags with some herb seeds I had leftover.
And the words, in case you hadn't realized, are really about this:
"the most difficult part
standing back
watching her grow"

Angels be with you.

Thanks Suze, I heard it starts to change once they're in their 20s. Sigh - only 5 more years to go, or so.
Hugs,
Wendy XO

Thanks for stopping by Nance. Hmmm - yes absolutely - step on your heart. I'll have to remember that. Do I dare say I wish these next 5 years would pass more quickly. NO. Time moves too quickly as is. I must just try to laugh more and cry less - protection for the heart.
hugs,
Wendy XO
