For Grace we miss you.
During the month of September I crafted bowls, did lots of physical therapy, missed my traveling husband, visited a friend, lost a friend to cancer and played with my niece. Live each day as a gift.
My friend Grace was a consummate seamstress. I can hardly take a stitch and not think of her. Thanks for sharing what you loved.
So very sorry to hear of the loss of your friend.
ReplyDeleteYour flower piece is lovely. It has very delicate and understated tones that I find very appealing.
Ida- thank you for your kind words.
DeleteLovely abstraction white rose :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Merike- I really enjoyed getting so close to this rose. I am very please with the result.
DeleteA lovely abstract play of shadow and light - kind of like life. Thank you for sharing your image with Photo Art Friday, Teri.
ReplyDeleteBonnie-Yes, just like life.
DeleteAnd I always enjoy your Photo Art Friday. :-)
I feel so blessed to BE invited in, Teri. There is so much in Life to savour, to discover, to BE BEwildered by, to bring tears and smiles. It's a great glorious stretching wide yawn of treasures. Loss and creativity, love and family, and always the edges we hesitate to visit and then, surprise, we're given wings and know flying...
ReplyDeleteCurrie - you spoke well of the edges, I find myself there a lot lately. I like the idea that we are given wings.
DeleteThe rose is life close up, and the composite photo is the overview. I like photos of my life close up when things are rosy and beautiful. I pull back for the bigger picture when life in the moment hurts. I wish for you more rosy and beautiful in October:)
ReplyDeleteSharon- I am blessed, always with moments filled with roses and wonderful light. It reminds be to continue on those other days.
DeleteOh, Teri, I'm so sorry for your loss, so happy for your joys. you are so right when you say that each day is a gift; I so often forget that. Your bowl is wonderful, and that close-up photo of the rose is exquisite. You are a gift.
ReplyDeleteSharmon- Thank you for you kind words. For me, the remembering of gratitude for each day sometimes takes great effort. Other days it is not so hard. I hope you are well.
DeleteBeautiful rose, terrific bowl...again I am so sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda- these bowls have really been a nice diversion this autumn.

DeleteFirst I want to say thank you for visiting my site "EDIT your Photo" - I am happy for your sweet words. Second I would like to give you a hug for your loss but I can't as it is something that is hard to do (can't reach through your computer ;) ) - And finally I will tell you that your art what you do is so amazing and very well done :)
