Fleur de lis

I have be very busy lately. But I love it. My friend Tina requested a Fleur de lis. After months of research on the basic image, I finally made one. The first one took awhile. That's usually how it goes with the first of anything I make. But after the first one was made I am able to make them pretty easily.

Seeing a Fleur de lis is liking having a banner with your name on it saying, "welcome home". You'll see these all over the South especially in New Orleans. I heard that after Katrina, the people in New Orleans used it like a sign of a new beginning, hope, and a welcome home. I love the thought of an object evoking hope.We all need a Lil more hope in this world.
