In my case it’s a break from doing assignments and projects in my Visual Design class. I know myself deeply. And I know when to stop. I know when it’s too much to bear.

I joined the 5th Great Big Stitched Postcard Swap hosted by Beth Nichols of Do What You Love. The theme is Discover. What a powerful word.

That alone is enough to give breath and depth into my being. As I create this painting I am also discovering … Read More
