My Mothers Needlework - a beautiful way to say 'Good Morning.'

Mums handwriting was an artform.  'Goodmorning' is a lovely example
of her writing.  So lovely to see it here embroidered  as a permanent record.

  

This handwork of my Mums is a lovely piece.  The intricate pocket for the serviette.  'Good Morning'
written by Mum and beautifully embroidered by hand.  An everlasting piece of her written word and her delicate embroidery.  A work of art.  Thankyou for your legacy, Mum a gift to me.

She is 92, and an amazing woman.

My Art Journal - my first one ever!

I have always struggled with thinking I was an artist. I took art at secondary school for a while

and it didn't really flow for me. I think that was when I concluded that I wasn't an artist.

That of course is a very narrow perspective on being an 'artist.' Now I appreciate that there are many ways one can be considered to be an artist.

I see some of the lovely needlework that Mum did in younger days. It is truly a work of art. She also painted. Particularly flowers. Her handwritimg was a work of art. I don't think I have ever seen such beautiful writing as hers.

Since I am my mothers daughter, I'm hoping I have inherited some of Mum's talents. I am encouraged by this. Thankyou Mum.

I have been creating an art/inspirational journal this year. It is very therapeutic. It has given me much pleasure. Even though it is nearly falling apart, it has been most enjoyable .

I have never done one before. I hope you can see a little of what is in it.
