Nurturing Thursday - Collage no. 25

This will be my last nurturing collage as I enter the last few days of my month-long challenge. All these images and words whisper Nurture to me...



Left-hand page



The gorgeously simple Will Barnet postcard reminds me of my daughter reading in bed, Molly-cat beside her; the We'Moon page called 'Symbiotic Dance' reminds me that ALL life is inextricably linked; the page from my quote-a-day calendar tells me friends are everywhere and the nurturing circle never ends; the colour birdboxes remind me to care for our feathered friends, and the spools of yarn remind me to nurture all crafts, skills and talents.

Right-hand page


The large photo from Country Living shows two of my favourite nurturing things - fresh fruit and books! The famous painting by Berthe Morisot of a mother watching her child sleep, and the lovely postcard of a dreaming girl remind me of the nurturing powers of sleep and motherhood.

The nurturing quote in the bottom right corner reads:

Our real personality is all light, all love, always shining. 
Upanishads

And as Elizabeth asked me to share a photo and a quote for 3 days, here's today's :)



Sharing it all with Becca and other nurturing souls...

    1. Yes, she's lovely, isn't she? Can't remember where I got her - I'm working with images I've been collecting for over a decade!

  3. You have done so well with your challenge of collage -- resulting in some lovely pages. I particularly like the wise old tree with the imposed dragonfly! Thank you for sharing with us through Nurturing Thursday! Kuddos for your project! I am starting a meditation through watercolor journal on the 1st -- it is for 21 days! I hope I am as successful with mine, as you seem with yours! :)

      Can't believe I've almost completed the month - where do the days go??
