Ring Bearer Nest for the Wedding.....




The Ring Bearer's Nest
Well, by the time this post is up, Whit's wedding day will be here and gone! While writing this post I thought ~Everything I create (invitations, programs, I mean everything) has to tell a story. Maybe that is the artist in me. When we create we are constantly thinking about the story of the piece. When making this piece I found that the bird represents me..... The two eggs, my children JD (son-in-love to be) and Whit (our daughter). I thought about how hard it is for a MOM and DAD to let go of our children, to let them create and feather their own nest. The shredded vintage paper represents how as individuals, we can take anything and everything and use it to Glorify God! I loaded the nest with feathers~ Whitney loves to use feathers in her art. I can't believe that I am sitting here crying.... They are tears of JOY for my children. Children that have taken their stand in the Lord! I think I may create my own little nest, with two birds (Reid and I) and four little eggs (Jackie and Chase & Whitney and JD)~ Our Nest....

Birdies Nest ChatterBlock project...

My little birdies nest will just not go away. I lay in bed at night and the ideas just pop into my head! I love it! The night before last I remembered this wonderful Bible verse and I had to use it with my new nest. I thought to myself ~ "Self, there is no better way to use this verse than on your ChatterBlocks"! So, Self got up the next morning and started working on it! I just could not help myself! If you notice closely, I even used a little Titan Buff paint and Baby Blue paint.
Oh... And see the fibers and feathers in the nest!
So easy to mix in with the shredded paper!
Not my colors~ But I love this little piece!
It is going in a very special place and I will tell you all about it tomorrow!
I can't wait to share my SURPRISE with you!
It is a HUGE FAITH step for me~
Love you ALL!!
Psalm 91:4
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
