Breathe

2020 has been one of the strangest years of our lifetime. 

The one thing we have all needed to do more, is to breathe. 

To calm ourselves. 

To take a moment and try to focus on the good things. 

To try and find positives in all the negatives.  

Lockdown life has been bizarre and challenging for most.

​

It did give some of us time to focus on learning to slow down and practice mindfulness.

I know I am so used to being a busy bee, that being forced to be a slower snail caused me anxiety and then release as I settled in to a slower pace of life and learnt to let go of all the things a life based around work, stress and money caused.

​

I genuinely hope that we can retain some of these new behaviours we have learnt in 2020.

​

My snails had some little babies and we have 12 successful hatch-lings.  They are now big enough to begin creating art and have further enhanced the work, with their tiny, delicate, lace-like lines.

 

For this painting gentle shades of peach, blue and grey create the perfect reminder to take a moment to pause, breathe and relax.

​

We realised this would be a perfect piece to create wearable art from.
