Captain of my Soul

I have chosen a poem by W. E. Henley for my

Waddington Weekly

altered playing card.

I am the master of my fate

I am the captain of my soul

Using an enlarged image of a stamp from my collection.

Original stamp

We must go ...

The poem I have chosen today for my

Waddington Weekly

altered playing card project is by Charlotte Mew.

The world is cold without

And dark and hedged about

With mystery and enmity and doubt

But we must go

Though yet we do not know

... what marks we shall leave upon the snow.

Remembrance

Waddington Weekly this week falls on Remembrance Day.

I have chosen a poem by Dylan Thomas for my altered playing card.

Where blew a flower may a flower no more

Lift its head to the blows of the rain.

Life is Beautiful

This is the title of the November class at Brave Girl University by Melody Ross.

I followed the same format as last month.

Inside pocket for copy of Melody's artwork

A place for copies of Melody's artwork & my notes

My typed notes to capture the essence of each lesson

Lesson & Journal Prompts behind the artwork

Truth Card - You have enough

Truth Card - Make the most of where you are right now

Truth Card - Let life surprise you

Truth Card - Being different is good

Truth Card - Remember to stop & breathe

Truth Card - Embrace the changes in your life

Pocket on the back cover to hold the Truth Cards

In the future, I may just post my BGU projects on Instagram,

so if you are interested in seeing them, make sure you are following me on Instagram.

The Gale of Life

My altered playing card for my WaddingtonWeekly project this week,
uses a few lines from a poem by A E Housman.

There, like the wind through woods in riot,

Through him the gale of life blew high;

The tree of man was never quiet:

This week I have used an image from my stamp collection,
together with three glitter gems.
