From one soul of the universe are all souls derived...

of these souls there are many changes, 

some into a more fortunate estate and some quite contrary... 

not all human souls are divine. 

Her eyes are the window to her soul. 

Above all struggles, let it be told... 

just look into my eyes and tell me, what do YOU see?

:: paper weave project ::

paper scraps can have endless possibilities... don't you think? 

 I gathered them up, weaved the papers together, 

and added matte medium as an adhesive. 

Used a collage element as our focal point with a few words to ponder. 

endless I do say... endless.
