this child reading her book is from the african american vintage images CD at lunagirl. she is on another of the elaborate backgrounds i made using a variety of papers, gessoing, stenciling and lacquering. i added a variety of embellishments.
i liked using this girl today because it is martin luther king jr.'s birthday. MLK said: "the function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. intelligence plus character -- that is the true goal of education."
i hope you will play along. for the challenge at lunagirl here are a few tips: you can share up to 3 entries -- and when you entry includes an image from lunagirl it doubles your chance at winning the drawing! check the blog frequently as karen of lunagirl offers up freebies often.
but you can also find hundreds of images of babies and children at the lunagirl store including the digital collage sheets used by the DT this month.
love to all.

Such a beautiful, contemplative tag! I love the delicate touches - like the butterflies! I really love images of people reading in art because reading is such a powerful and mysterious and creative thing to do! MLK's quote is exactly what I agree that education should be. So often we hear people say 'I want to get qualifications so I can get a good job'. That's fine, of course, but education is so much more than that and we're in danger of forgetting that. xx
I love the star placed behind the sweet child! This is so lovely, Michele! I have been insanely busy and not blogging as much! Hope you are having a fabulous 2016!
