Virgin a Day: The Mother is all around me...

Today  is the last day of the "Virgin a Day"  meme. Tonight want to share how Our Lady of Guadalupe  is all around me.Literally!I have her next to my bed.Watching over me as I sleep.

This night light is on my daughter's night table.

    Your drawings are absolutely wonderful! And you, along with this meme, has inspired me to surround myself more with the images of our Mother. And, to be more prayerful.
    I love the night light too. May I ask where one can purchase one just like that?
    Have a blessed holiday and peace e with you.

    Carly,
    this is very beautiful. I feel a sense of peace when you speak of Our Lady surrounding you in every facet of your home. Before this project, I had not paid attention to Mary in some time. In my childhood, as a Catholic, I paid much attention, but this project and all of you have made me think differently. Thank you.
    xo,
    Noelle

    I don't know how I missed making a comment before today. I did come and see the collage, and I love iot. This p[ost is precious as you have shared part of your life with us. I love the night light, but better yet are your personal drawings. I love them. The South American piece on wood is awesome as I love the colors.
    Someday I will make it to Mexico to see Our Lady of Guadalupe. Until them, I'll keep collecting what I can find. And like you mention, I have found new friends who have shared much. That's the best blessing from this entire exercise. Maybe Mary had something to do with it.

    Peace

    Hi Carly,

    So sorry I came to this last Virgin so late. I totally missed it. Picture me rolling my eyes. But she is so beautiful. In fact, all of your many offerings today are. What a visual feast for the mind and heart.

    I've been so blessed to make new friends via Rebecca's Virgins. I'll be by again.

    Merry Christmas
    Annie

“Roses and thorns are parts of the same plant. Somehow though, some people are concerned mainly about the roses. The rose is not on the plant for more than a week, but the thorns are there forever. Roses are teaching that the beauty of life will bloom, once you have taught yourself the lessons given by living with the thorns.”  ―  Grigoris Deoudis This post is part of the  Nature Footstep meme.  A meme all about flowers and macro shots.

Artist of the Week :Frida Kahlo

Happy Sunday! I decided to start an "Artist of the Week " post to do on Sundays!It's a good way to learn more about the  different styles of each artist. This week in keeping with my Mexico theme, I will feature the  fabulous    Frida Kahlo : Frida was born on  July 6th, 1907 in Coyoacan, Mexico to a Hungarian-Jewish father a nd a mother of Spanish and Mexican Indian descent. She was one of four daughters. Frida did not plan to become an artist .She had been studying Medicine at the " Escuela Nacional Preparatoria" in Mexico City. Out of 2000 students, Frida was one of only 35 women accepted into the prestigious institution. However in 1925  at the age she was severely injured in a bus accident in  which she suffers fractures to her spine, collarbone and ribs, a shattered pelvis, and shoulder and foot injuries.
