"You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets you in the way of what others think..."

My photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

leaf masks~



“The fall of a leaf
is a whisper to the living”
Russian Proverb

how beautiful are those words

i can't seem to get enough of
creating these little leaf masks
each one i have made i think gets a wee bit better
as i realize oh i should  have done this or that
now i need to work on smoothing the backside first
so when i am finished on the front
both sides will be presentable
live and learn right


“Never say
 there is nothing beautiful
in the world anymore.
 There is always something
 to make you wonder
 in the shape of a tree,
the trembling of a leaf.”
Albert Schweitzer


“Let your life
lightly dance on the edges of Time
like dew on the tip of a leaf.”
Rabindranath Tagore

 
“For mountain and stream,
 tree and leaf, root and blossom,
every form in nature is echoed in us
and originates in the soul whose being is eternity
and is hidden from us
but none the less
 gives itself to us for the most part
in the power of love and cr”
Hermann Hesse

Lovely, thanks for sharing! I loved your words about trees and leaves, I too have an affinity for the tree.

These are so sweet, so expressive. I would love to have them around the patio and garden!! I'd love to see where you put them.

my beliefs include many, constantly seeking knowledge, not needing one particular label that defines me nor trying to justify my thoughts to anyone else but me...this is my life and i am living it my way...bringing happiness to my inner soul.
