Velvet Relics "Reliques de Velours" ~ Little Altars of the Heart ~ Cherish Life

These feel like something discovered in a drawer in an old French house, wrapped in tissue from long ago, carrying a little history and a little celebration all at once. I love having these as shrines of goodness, reminders of memories to hold tight. Cherish Life taking each morning to say thank you for letting begin again. Taking time to use the good china, make that phone call, write that note and mail it, go see things, really look up at the sky and say thank you. Celebrate the wonder of today.

Created with layers of beads, crystals, hand dyed velvets, cottons, vintage finding, rhinestones. Stitched by hand always. The cording created by precious vintage fabric twisted, stitched with golden threads.
