A mothers love

Today is one of the discs for the new series.

I completed the painting, but I will have to cut it out and finish it tomorrow.

This particular one is 16 inches round.

I am currently researching the background for them.

I find this one very calming as it shows a mother's love.

A humpback whale will literally fight to the death for her calf.

Even after the calf may meet its demise, they grieve deeply along with the other whales.

An orca whale carried and pushed the body of her calf for 17 days attempting to keep it from sinking.

It was heartbreaking to watch the love of her life, finally being released into the deep.

A mothers love indeed.

Today found me in the barn, working on dinosaurs again.

We are getting closer to finishing the messiness of paper mache.

I have gone through 6 gallons of glue so far with a couple more to go!

I have a wonderful friend and fellow Christian named Sarah who has been invaluable in her efforts.

Her incredible helping hands have been an absolute Godsend, both in doing the wire and paper mache.

My husband, Chris, has also been my rock.

His stalwart working has given me stands upon which the dinosaurs are both supported and strengthened.

They are not terribly heavy so far, but they are extremely cumbersome in their size!

I have been ruminating on the torches for the gates.

I have landed on Gatorade bottles, tissue paper, tea lights, and cardboard boxes.

Strange combination I know, but they will be awesome!

It's really strange and wonderful how the Holy Spirit works in our hearts and brains.

I am frequently working on something else, and an idea comes in and becomes something wonderful.

I am tired of the heat, keeping puppies out of the glue, and soreness every night.

I wouldn't have it any other way!

God gives our talents for his Glory and I'm attempting to use them to the fullest extent.

Each year brings me such joy!
