Virgin a Day :Folk art collage



Today is my second post on :"Virgin a Day " in honor  of Our lady of Guadalupe. I was browsing around the web and found all sorts of folk art with Guadalupe as the theme.I decided to  make a photo collage of my findings. People are so creative!I am feeling inspired!As a matter of fact I have a pencil drawing I made of La Virgencita.Maybe I'll work up the courage to post it! I'm shy about some of my so called art!lol
ANYHOW...
I am so enjoying this meme and all the awesome posts thanks to Rebecca  and all the participants
Til tomorrow!.

    Hi Carly. Nice to meet you. I know the feeling of being fearful of sharing one's art. It is so personal. At one time, the fear totally crippled me. But once I broke the ice, things started changing. And really. How can you go wrong? You will be choosing to share a picture of Holy Mother. If it is possible for her to love you even more, she will.

    I think you should step out and share your art. And yes, there is an amazing amount of religious folk art to be found. I love seeing different interpretations of the same theme-it is awe inspiring.
