let joy be unconfined :: a process post

Sep 2, 2012 | 16 comments

A very old friend of mine is getting married in a couple of weeks.

As is my wont, I decided the best gift I could give her and her new husband is not something off the wedding list, but a painting crafted by my own fair hands. {For ‘fair’, read ‘painty’.}

Enjoy the process…

The quote reads ‘On with the dance, let joy be unconfined’, some delicious words from Lord Byron.

      Lol!! Why thank you so much! I liked the quote because it wasn’t too specific but still conveys the love and joy thing.

    Hi, from a new admirer of your blog. I enjoyed seeing the process too and how it changed from your first picture to the last. It will beat any shop bought gift thats for sure.
