The Three Muses - Ancestors...

We are all destined for greatness...
When I saw this weeks theme I thought about how our ancestors have paved the path making history for us to learn from on our way through life... I just wish that's what the world would do, learn from past mistakes and make this a better place for all to live in....That's my prayer today :)

I made a canvas journal a while back and prepped the pages following a tutorial by Teesha Moore on youtube. This is my first page in that journal :) I got real messy, and used gesso, oilpastels, stamps from Tim Holtz, inks, tore and pasted som paper from old bookpages, used an image from moonlightimages, butterfly and egg from collageimages on flickr, text from lisasalteredart.com. Thank you so very much for leaving a comment, it's much appreciated!! And now I'm off to see your interpretations of the theme :)
hugs and smiles,
Linda
