For Johoanna - Creativity Comes From the Heart


Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?
Ludwig van Beethoven
As I read this quote by the great composer, I thought of how humankind is driven to create. That desire comes from within but expresses itself in many ways - visual arts, performing arts, literature, a host of other endeavors, and of course STITCHING!
I'm pleased to hear that this page reached you safely, Johoanna. I hope you are having a wonderful time getting settled in your new surroundings, making new friends, finding new outlets for your own creativity.
I used commercial felt for the background of this page. The black is glittery, as is the red back page and some of the threads. After all, creating brings a sparkle to the eye and a glow to our lives.
