Soldering or Soldiering on?

A little of both.

I haven't given up on our words for the New Year.

Do you recall your word?

hope 

go  authentic (autentico)

renewal  shine  inspiring  focus 

patience    inquiry   compassion 

playfulness invest trust  wanting

I am making small reliquaries with our words in them.

So far they look like this:

I make a little, tiny collage and then make a box to go around it.

After that, I'll put some sheets of mica on the front and then solder the edges.

Here is the definition of reliquary:

A receptacle, such as a coffer or shrine, for keeping or displaying sacred relics.

I think our words are sacred in a way, and I would like them to be in a safe place to remind me of what we began our year with.

.

Do you see your word yet?

I found this quote and decided to put it in a reliquary of it's own:

It was fitting for my year of being Intentional with my art..

and how could I resist this face?

She is a great-Aunt of mine, my Grandfather's sister.

I do believe I can hear her saying, "Get your big girl panties on and be intentional!"

Have a great day!!
