A Poem
My lovely 12yr old wrote me this lovely poem on Mother's Day. I thought I would share it with you.
The Tree of Hearts
After wisdom, the creation of life
All was lost and love was gone
Hearts had fallen and hope was low
No man had given all they had
So what happened to life?
A seed of love had fallen down
A soul of life blinded with wisdom
No other thing could truly be
But then again, why would they be
So what happened to love?
After this seed has blossomed
A creation began to grow
Nothing had ever happened
A ebony soul was banished
It was to be, a Tree of Hearts
A Daughter of Nature, Mother Nature.

ACEO's
ACEO's stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals.
These are tiny cards 3.5cm x 2.5 cm, the size of a trading card. Originally this started as an ATC, or Artists Trading Card and Artists would trade cards and collect them. But members of the public could not join in as they did not have any cards to trade and a number of artists started making the cards to sell so that people could join in with the collecting of these little works of art.
I have enjoyed making these for some years. I would cut out card to the right size, pop a sheet in the garden, arm my children with glue and a large box of scrapbook papers. They would spend hours creating tiny cards, of which I now have a box full.
Recently, they have caught on over at Folksy and there are some amazing cards being posted every day in all sorts of different media.
This is one that I listed recently.
There are many more amazing cards to see over at Folksy so pop over and take a look.
