Some how, I got a little behind on my BJP for April. I think part of it was my theme this month…its a hard one for me . April is Sexual Abuse and Rape awareness month. Being a survivor of Sexual abuse even after it is gone is something you live with each day of your life. I wanted my necklace to centered around surviving, I used a butterfly on my collage to show the flight of your journey you take to heal. The colors: teal is the color for Sexual Abuse and Rape Awareness, Orange is for the color of all the sunsets I watched praying that tomorrow the abuse would end, and the black is for all the dark days of abuse.
Also, I tried some new stuff with the piece. The shape, a new stitch (thanks Tracey), and a new size (21/4 inches x 2 1/4 inches)
Thanks for checking out my piece! I think it is one of my favorite pieces I have made so far in the BJP!
Hugs,
Beautiful piece. Glad you are healing and that you’re brave enough to speak out for all of us who have been victimized.
I’m so proud of all your accomplishments and your strength to overcome things, K. xo
You should be very proud of this one. It is stunning!
It’s a beautiful thing! I’m glad that the BJP is helping you to work through the past. You are very brave and a survivor!!!
This is so pretty, but then the other crafty goodness you have created is too.
