Frozen

“Hold fast to dreams,

For if dreams die,

Life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly,

Hold fast to dreams,

For if dreams go,

Life is a barren field, Frozen with snow”Langston Hughes

infinite

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,

my love as deep.

The more I give thee,

the more I have,

For both are infinite.”

William Shakespeare

I wanted to try something different this time,

so I used ink, crocheted flowers a gold coloured charm

and some purple paper string

and sewed it all together on a piece of wallpaper.

It was great fun puting everything together,

and I like how it turned out.

making ends meet
