From somewhere, my hands ended up making these little marker emblems with a word on each of them.
One says 'G-R-O-W' and one says 'H-O-P-E'.
On the back they have spiral designs and tiny words, and they look like they've been in a mossy fountain. Ancient and verdant, sweetly romantic and nostalgic.
They have a nouveau swirl look, like medallions, and a hole open as a spot for a dangle on the bottom.
I was thinking they would make nice bookmark decorations, or an ornament for a handbag or tote.
A keychain bead, with an encouraging word - Grow Hopeful, or Hopeful Growth. I want to make more, with other words. So far words of four letters seem to work best - or I need a smaller font!
Gorgeous idea - and there are plenty of 4 letter words, but you may not wan to use some of them!
ReplyDeleteWow, I really like those! I might need them!
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteThese are ever so cool!!! I love the curls around the madallians. You are ever so right. It's as if a piece of mossy-age plasterwork fell off of a building, or fountain, and laid in the damp stoney dirt for hundreds of years :)

these are wonderful! i love when inspiration can be translated like this... your depth and imagination are incredible... always something new and great coming from you!
ReplyDeleteI love them Lynn!
ReplyDeleteI'm pondering how to use longer words, like "BREATHE" or "CREATE" - I don't want the words so tiny they can't be read. So I may have to make the little medallions longer somehow. I'm not fond of having words go up-and-down instead of side-to-side, I find them hard to follow vertically.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words - hey, KIND is four letters! and the feedback.
