GUEST DT invite honoree: Zowie D!

her blog's homepage: https://craftsfromthefairyden.blogspot.com/

a bit about her: Hello, my name is Zowie Dixon.

Anni Albers once said, 'Art is something that makes you breathe with a different kind of happiness'. Her quote completely resonates with me; as art has brought much happiness to my life! I found my love of creating art around Twenty Five years ago, first starting with creating scrapbook layouts and then for the last Twenty years working with mixed media,collage and now digital art. I also love vintage and shabby chic styles of crafting. I believe that art is for everyone and I aim to spread happiness and positivity in my creations, encouraging others to believe in themselves. Art has instilled confidence in me to try out many things in life including photography. Whatever work I create, I put my heart and soul into. In most of my designs you will see a positive quote that encourages one to believe in oneself. I also like to combine beautiful elements that stand out and give meaning to what I create. Thank you to Becca for inviting me to be this month's Guest Designer.

her project: Canada Geese; pond; barnwood

Lovely! "Stillness is nature." & "Peaceful" ==> perfection!
