The hands of an artist

The hands of this artist are wrinkled and old
faded with time - with stories untold
She longs to be young like the girl in her mind
Picking the roses - leaving petals behind

Little girl doll dressed so pretty in pink
Dancing through flowers as quick as a wink
The old woman dreams of the girl she once was
Painting her memories, that's all that she does.



I had the pleasure of designing for twelveby12 a couple of years ago. Jennifer O'Meara is the artist/owner and she just does amazing things with photography, flowers, and wod frames. If you've not seen her work, check it out here and here

Her window frames have been turned into calendars, cards, stamps....there's a long line of her products available. This paper inspired me to do so many different projects, but this one has always been my favorite.
