The topic this week was to make an image about the day of the week you were born. I was born on a Tuesday and so I illustrated "Tuesday's Child is Full of Grace." I never really felt graceful. I can't dance and I'm sort of uncoordinated. I chose this picture because it called to me and asked me to show that the meaning of the word Grace is multifaceted. While some of us don't move our bodies in an especially graceful manner, we can bring grace into other areas of our lives. Sometimes we simply grace others with our presence. So close to Mother's Day, I remembered the love my mom had for me, a child "full of grace," at least in her mother's heart.
This is so LOVELY! I love what you wrote about your creation, and i like the woman in the lower corner looking up at the girl... like your mom & the way she loved you. very very dear! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are full of grace to have chosen this photo for your day of the week. I really like how you interspersed the black and white images with the vintage-y and colorful hearts. The lady in the bottom left looks like she has just written that message to a very sweet daughter. Nicely done challenge entry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet collage and I love your thoughts on grace. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am so loving all the submissions this week! This is beautiful. I love the sentiment and your take on Grace, so true and love that your piece is thoughtful of your Mother. The black and white infused with color really makes a nice contrast and beautiful visual piece!
ReplyDeleteLovely entry Tuesday girl!
Very graceful....I think the moms back in the day wanted their girls to be graceful didn't they? Oh well I think it is better to find grace in other ways too,
ReplyDelete:-)

LOL, I must have visited your earlier, but See....
ReplyDeleteI really liked it! Ha!
Delightful collage - like the floral hearts for the color. Thanks for visiting me - sorry I'm slow visiting, was out of town....
ReplyDeletesuch a sweet image! i'm a tuesday child, too, though i didn't have such a positive upbringing... yet i've come to see, as you so rightly say, grace is multifaceted :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! I love the flowery hearts adding color to the vintage sepia. As you say, there are other definitions of "grace", not all having to do with body movement. The grace coming from within is even more important. A lovely collage!
ReplyDeleteLovely piece and a lovely sentiment. I found, other than the grace of a dancer, grace is hard to depict.
