Family ~ November BJP
This piece is all about the blessing of a relatively close-knit family. We're not as close as sometimes I'd like, but we all like each other pretty well.
My brother, Thom, and I lost our biological father in a car accident when I was 5 and Thom was 3. That could have been a disaster, but Mom met and married a wonderful man 2 years later, who soon became our new Papa. I'm fortunate to have always felt that he was my dad, that he loved me as much as he loved his own 3 children, my other 2 brothers and sister.
Size: 2.5 x 3.5 inches
Month: November
Method: improvistional bead embroidery on batik fabric stabilized with paper
Backed with: 200 lb. card stock and Ultrasuede Light
Beads: mostly size 15 and other seed beads; vintage mother--of-pearl buttons, carnelian hearts, vintage ivory beads
