Another piece from the Way Back machine from 1995 or '96. When The Eldest was born, I designed a guardian angel prayer for her room using a cross-stitched angel pattern I found. I thought I would do the piece in calligraphy for The Young One's room.
This piece is one of the very first pieces I did as a fledgling. It's one of the few pieces I did as a beginner that doesn't make me cringe when I look at it. I was proud of this piece and still am. I can see the progress I have made on my calligraphic journey. Do you look back with pride at pieces you did when you were first starting out on your art journey?
And please pop over to my friend, A's new blog, Artful Journey, and welcome her to the blogosphere.
Love this piece. Thanks for the mention, but especially thanks for the mentoring and friendship 😊
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed learning from you as well during our 20 plus year friendship

ReplyDeleteSome of the old pieces are still near and dear to me.
DeleteI am in awe that you created this when you were first starting out. I have seen some of the stuff I did a few years back, and I think I did better then than now. You grew steadily, but this piece is genuinely a worthy mention.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elizabeth. I think every artist goes through that ebb and flo of creating and judging. the hardest hurdle to overcome is silencing the inner critic.
DeleteYou should be proud of yourself! This piece is wonderful! When I look back at some of my first pieces, I am proud of myself too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stacy. All our early works are the foundation of where we are now.
