How sweet they look! I love that Joseph isn't just an idle spectator or worse, an apparent stranger. I know they're just corn husks, but they really look as if they were very fond of each other.
Thank you, I really appreciate that comment. Making Joseph look like part of the family and not of a lower class than Mary has been a specific goal of mine. So it is encouraging to know that someone else saw that!
A multi-media artist since the time she could glue construction paper together and an avid gardener, 19-year-old Sarah Samsel combines her passions for creating and creation through “pressed flower art.” In addition to flower petals, Sarah uses foliage, seeds, bark, fruit and vegetable peels/husks and a variety of other natural materials to create pictures, many of which feature animals or historic buildings or depict a simple lifestyle in the Georgia mountains. Sarah got her start in pressed-flower art by making greeting cards, both for local shops and on commission, but has since turned exclusively to framed original art.
Sarah is a member of the World Wide Pressed Flower Guild. You can visit their website at www.wwpfg.org.
Nature and its varied forms are little windows through which God permits me to commune with Him and to see much of His glory, majesty, and power by simply lifting the curtain and looking in.
-George Washington Carver
The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you.
