My teacher Thich Nhat Hanh passed away recently, and I've always loved illustrating his words as a means of combining mindfulness and creativity.
At the moment I have a slight obsession with pebbles!
The pebbles in this piece represent a zen circle, very common to Buddhist teachings.
For this piece I decorated the paper using specific colours from the Coloricombo Instagram challenge. Have a look at the last image to see the paper decorated before cutting the pebbles and letters out.
I began by texturing the handmade paper with random circles of wax from a candle before overpainting, then cutting out each pebble and each letter individually and arranging and gluing it onto the backing paper.
This particular colour combination is airforce blue, vermillion, acid yellow and burnt orange. I'm sure you can see I favour the blue over the yellows and oranges! :)
I don't think I've ever grown out of cutting and sticking as a child!! :)

Full description
Throughout March I will contribute 50% of this sale to Choose Love, and specifically their Ukraine Crisis Fund.
This one of a kind paper collage is part of a pebbles collection I am currently working on.
The quote comes from my Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh, "breathe, smile, go slowly". It's a lovely reminder to be mindful as we go about our day.
This affordable piece of artwork measures 17 x 23.5cm and comes unframed.
Look at the loose edge of this handmade paper!
Perfect to decorate your wall, or give as a gift for someone special.
It comes in a cello bag for protection, and will be posted securely wrapped with card and recycled packaging for protection. If you can reuse the bag and packaging please do :)
