What wonderful works Kelly! The natural elements included are a delightful touch. When I find insect wings and whatnot, I always tuck them away to use. Years ago I had a neighbor who would save cicadas she'd find and bring them to me. One time it was a Ziploc full- I ran out of ideas before I ran out of wings!
Thank you, Susan. I love that you collect these treasures - that's exactly how I see them, as treasures. I feel like God knows this about me and he puts them in my path sometimes. One particularly abundant cicada year, my kiddos collected so many wings that I pinned the ones in good shape and framed them in a shadow box type frame and it made the most beautiful work of art. Thank you for reading and chiming in. I received your book, Broken Oranges, from winning a drawing Gina (Woven in the Wait) was running for poetry month and have been enjoying it immensely. Thank you for continuing to put your words out there.
The collages are absolutely gorgeous and the poems too. Love the second one about God speaking through the forest... So so beautiful!
Thank you, Kym. I have loved the process of making these collages and poems. They feel so me. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment.
