Colour Me Positive Weekly Challenge

Its already been a long year...

still trying to wrap my head around the past 2 weeks...

creating helps.....

The monday after new years my mom had a massive stroke,

she passed away at home on thursday.

i don't think i've had a full nights sleep since.

As i write this i still get tears, she had a full life, lots of kids,

laughs, hardships.  

although she was 83 you would have never have known it.

we still bowled on tuesday nights...she was having a great season!

If you have a nurse in your family, give them a great big hug!

My sister Peggy is amazing...and i don't think that word is enough!

She took such incredible care of my mom...always....

and in her last days.

The morning my mom died (she was in hospice at home, Peggy the

primary care giver) Mom lay in her hospital bed,

peggy and i with her, what do you want to watch mom, as we joked...

we ended up watching a morning show....

the girl who sings the fight song was on, and played that song,

we sat sobbing, then pulled it back together as hospice services were coming.

That was the only time I've seen Peggy cry....not that she doesn't care but

she has this amazing way of being strong.  

So this is for you mom, and you peggy

the strength of our family.....

here's how it went....

i decided to do this book as separate pages

then bind it at the end

gesso

molding paste

paint & glazing medium

wipe off

more glazing medium & paint on wings

a little color

don't know why i used this....

i wanted to use clear gesso

i had tried to transfer the inkjet and it didn't work

so i went back to a good old fashioned transfer

with pencil.  then hand painted on top.  

i wanted to do a transfer 

because i tend to miss spell when i paint!

on the back of the pages i decided to write some notes to myself

either about the prompt or whatever.

so kinda doing this book as an unbook first!

Will figure it out later

Hug a nurse today!!

Thanks for stopping by!
