Love this project Alex! Each Item surrounding my face has a symbolic meaning: the car is for my grandson that loves toy cars; the unicorn is for my granddaughter; the soccer ball for my father and son; the spool of threads (incomplete) represent my mother (a seamstress) and my love of thread painting; the orchid (I grow orchids) and the monarch butterfly, as in Mexican culture, represents the souls of my family that have passed. My heart with the Italian pin signifies my birth country and the love I have for it and my first language. The doodle is my dog, my constant companion. This has been lots of fun to do and think about what is important to me. Still need to add some other items. Of course, nothing is yet ironed down or sewn; still thinking about when and how to do this but thank you for this lovely, heart warming project.
