This is my desk as I left it last night.
I was having a LOT of fun making backgrounds
while watching The Mummy on HBO.
A closer look at the "tools" I was using.
Bubble wrap. Those plastic protectors for apples
(whatever are they called?),
and a "stamp" I made from styrofoam.
I chose one of my backgrounds
because I could see the face of a woman.
It's not very clear though.
But here she is now, emerging like a half formed
butterfly from her cocoon.
"The Lord is my Shepherd,
there is nothing I shall want."
Psalm 23 is one of the most beloved
Psalms in the Bible.
My pinky finger is sort of numb right now
and when I googled it,
it seems I've got a pinched nerve.
I was just reflecting upon how many
nerves, arteries, veins, sinews,
organs, etc.
all working quietly, efficiently in our body.
If only one gets pinched, clogged,
bruised, stops working,
our daily routine would stop just like that!
Just like last December when I ended up
in the hospital because of
Deep Vein Thrombosis.
We just take these things for granted don't we?
The Lord is my Shepherd
and He takes care of so many things in my life
so that I don't have to!!!!

And hey, my bestfriend got picked, swerte naman! :)
That is amazing the way the image comes out. From beginning to end. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, there's so much goodness here! LOVE seeing what you are working on, thank you! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWinner idea with the bubble wrap Patsy! I love the art and the message that came with it. Hope your finger gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope your numbing disappears soon. Pinched nerves are not fun.
ReplyDeleteAs always, your art speaks to me. My husband tells a story where a little girl says, "The Lord is my Shepherd, He's all I want."
Love your backgrounds and your ideas for making them! Happy WOYWW, Helen 19
ReplyDeletelove the background and those atc's you have made! I don't know what that sleeve for the apple/pear is called but it is more like a stretchy styrofoam right? Interesting stuff. Have a great week and thanks for sharing. Vickie #68
ReplyDeleteI love how you make your background papers - so pretty & creative!! I hope your finger feels better soon!

I know something similar to what Pamella mentions: where a little one has to learn Psalm 23 off by heart, only he keeps forgetting it. When it's his turn to recite it, he stands and says "The Lord is MY shepherd, and that's all I need to know!" Amen to that child's wisdom! Lovely artwork on your desk this week. Happy WOYWW!
