Boundaries is our April theme (I'm a little behind)
I chose this theme and
then spent time wondering what it meant to me!
So, I considered what
boundaries were. Do we have control over
those boundaries?
My thoughts: everyone
has boundaries. It depends on whether we see the boundary as a positive or
negative challenge. When we are children, our parents influence our values and
beliefs. Our early years can affect the mindset we use for the rest of our
lives. As adolescents, we internalize our values and beliefs. As adults we live
our lives according to our values and beliefs. Generally, we have the power to
make the decision as to where and when we will cross that boundary. However, unexpected
events can take away that power. It takes conscious thought to re-evaluate our
values as we cross age / stage of life boundaries. We have the power to set our
goals ... how we react is our decision!
Life is a journey, what
we value guides what we believe and how we act or react.
The fabric I used was a
upholstery fabric with a nebulous design, symbolizing the unknown in our lives.
I stamped and stitched to complete the piece.
