Feathers - A Connection with Spirituality

I have made a commitment to myself 

to do things that I like 

in order to discover who I truly am.

Some of you might not even understand that

how can someone not know themselves?

but when you live an overprotected life,

where you were taught to do as is said 

and learn how to please everybody else

you kind of loose yourself growing up.

But it got to the point that things change for me 

and in my personal growth journey 

I came to learn that I needed to know who I truly am

and what I really like to be happy.

So here I am exploring all the things that I like 

one step at the time.

Here is art as one of them.

But art can't stay on the paper just to look pretty;

for me it has to mean something

it has to be practical, functional, useful.

I made these feathers

I chose a split complementary color scheme 

inspired by Mixed Media Monthly Challenge blog

using blue-violet and blue-green.

           

Feathers is one of my favorite things

I believe I read somewhere that

 feathers represents a connection to spirituality

so just perfect for me

I also made three feathers, using three colors

 following Simon Says Challenge

After spraying the feathers

I decided to fill them up 

But I just couldn't leave it on the paper

I had to cut them out and see what would they look like 

Pretty I think :)

So here it is keeping me company on my computer desk :)

I would love to see what are you making, writing or reading

leave me a comment to come visit you

Much love,
