heart the art: week 13 (need)

this week's HEART the ART prompt is "NEED" but gina wanted us to think beyond money and material things...here's what she had to say,

"That's what this week's art prompt is about. What you need. Something you need that isn't money though. Something you might need from someone else or many some else's. Hugs, understanding, support?? There is so many things that sometimes people need in life and just don't get. "

as i thought about this, i realized something i seem to really need lately is outside approval, and i'm not sure that's necessarily such a good thing all the time. on the other hand, i think we probably all have our weak moments...and then other times when we're much more confident; if we're lucky, hopefully they balance out.

(sassafras paper; vintage illustration; dymo labels; making memories alphabet stamps; versa ink; signo pen)

i am having a GREAT TIME with these prompts and now i can't wait until saturday for the new one!

  4. You really do a fabulous job each week with Gina's prompts!!! I never seem to get around to making real life projects but find myself thinking about the prompt theme during the week and reflecting on it alot. Gina has such an uncanny knack of getting to the heart of emotions and feelings doesn't she! Love the colours in this piece... can't wait for the next one! Jo x
