Journal 52 : Week 10

Journal 52 is a weekly prompt from Effy Wild (Free HERE) that I'm creating on a deck of jumbo playing cards 3.5'' x 4.75'' (8.5 x 12 cm). Each card will include stitch, a found word, and be inspired by the project I've been working on that week or what's lying leftover on my work table. See the original post HERE.
#10 : Friendship. Inspired by this poem which Victoria Erickson posted this week.

I am filled with gratitude for all of the people that are showing up for me in so many ways at the moment. I appreciate their love and light and feel so lucky to have all the support as I face the months ahead with the challenges of breast cancer. 
I sat with this quote and decided I needed a hand and a heart. Began with gold because of the glow and I treasure my friendships and the added colours from my most recent stitch project. Cut a hand shape from paper, then lay a stencil over top. Sponge through and get an interesting hand print 

Lay the shape that you cut out over this as a mask to sponge more interest around the edge

Hand stitched a fabric heart, added my found word and added back on the corner of the 10 ♥ card since this is the 10th prompt and all about love.

I wanted to add something that reflected the light and fire from the poem. I love my gorgeous collection of sari ribbons and my friends help me to Shine. 

Hope you are fitting creativity into your week. Find all my Journal 52 posts HERE
