Jillaine, your self portrait is fantastic !!
I wish I had a little of your abilities to put into fabric what is in my head. Just haven't figured how to do it & have it look right, so after 20 years of trying I guess I just gave up on it. :-D

It represents God, Faith, Country, Family and Friends.
The butterfly represents change, Metamorphosis, as in life, once we reach adulthood
There is constant change, then eventually Heaven, the ultimate. The cross represents my faith but also there was a cross that used to inspire me as I would drive to Western Carolina University for my Undergraduate and Graduate degree 7 yrs later. Although a small thing at the time like in my picture the cross means everything! The mountains that I love also represent my parents, constant, dependable, steady, a continual source of inspiration who provided me with a strong positive foundation for life. I was so lucky to have my parents who I loved and cherished. The flowers on the blue background are all the people who have come into my life that have helped make me who I am today. The butterflies and daisies are all my family, friends and blessings God has given me like my two wonderful God given friends back home. On the other side is me waving the flag. I am very patriotic and never want anyone to forget the men and women who died and fought for our freedoms. My Dad was a WWII Vet. I miss him so but he was a man like no other and a wonderful parent as was my mother. ..Their love story was one you could write a book about.
As I worked on it I was amazed with what I remembered and wanted to say and the finished product .I’ve never done anything like this before…I hope everyone likes it.

Look what arrived in todays mail. I love this, but we need an explanation of what it's all about. I especially like the label, so I've included it as well.
