Sounds like you had a tough emotional week ...Yowch! Sounds like you had a tough emotional week last week. :-( I hope you still managed to have a great birthday, despite stomach flu and work. Poor you! How are you feeling now? Hope everyone has fully recovered.<br /><br />I'm amazed that you managed to post, despite everything. Did creating the teardrops help to soothe your mind? They are the perfect shape for Zentangle doodles! There's something about your work - I don't know what - but I love the intricacy and I always want to take it and create it in another medium. For example, I think that these teardrops would also be beautiful in material and beading, or layers of paper! ha ha! I always love the patterns you make and the colours you use, so I guess I just want to spend more time with them! I love the sound of your idea, of suspending them from silver wire.<br /><br />And I don't think you're failing miserably, by the way! I think you're going from strength to strength, every year! I liked the Pema Chodron quote. "Awareness is the key... never underestimate the power of compassionately recognising what's going on". That's not always easy, but it certainly resonates with me! Lots of Love, Fi xxFi and Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03442337599523525314noreply@blogger.com
