Delivery Day

I don't know what I like most: making the art piece or delivering it.

Doing things for people and making them happy is my deepest joy. Maybe that makes me an enabler, but I don't care. I'd rather be a lightworker. Any day of the week. Someone who has deep intuition about what others are feeling and thinking. I've always had good intuition. I feel what others feel. I like people's deep thoughts. Cut through the layers and get to the core. It gets me into each project to create the story of each piece. Making each piece personal. I know the new parents who requested this art piece. I got so much joy with designing and making it.

Tiffany and Tom are a young, married couple with two beautiful, young boys. They just bought a home and are now raising a family and renovating the home with their own hands. Tiffany wanted a piece to display on one of her walls. She loves birch. So do I.

Tiffany sent me a picture of a birch wall hanging that she liked, and I took it from there. I wanted to choose birch that you could see the rings in the wood. I chose two bigger birch cookies to depict Tiffany and Tom as parents. They have rings of life together. The small birch cookies depict different stages of life they have had and will have in the future. Each birch cookie in the art has different depths that retain different degrees of family memories. The two flowers represent the boys and how they live and grow within the piece itself. I chose the color blue as Tiffany likes that color but also because the blue represents the boys. I think Tiffany and Tom are earthy people, so I used different colors and designs of round mosaic stones to inspire the sense of fun through color. The dotted lines used by a wood burning tool on the flowers represents time and memories created each day.

Now, it's delivery day. I hope that the piece will inspire fun, love and family once it's hung on Tiffany and Tom's wall in their home.
