The Living Light

I love and appreciate all things art: from jewelry making to photography, and from drawing to graphics. My favorite hobby is cross-stitch, and that will be my main focus. Thank you for visiting, and make yourself at home in this shining light of the galaxy.

My latest project. It's pretty self explanatory and inspired by the warrior lifestyle.

Two versions of the same butterfly cross stitch. Both are simple, but unique and beautiful.

Black version of my Star Wars the Clone Wars bookmark. I kind of like this one more personally, but I gave it away to a close friend for Christmas. I might just have to make another one though......

StarWars The Clone Wars Bookmark. The outer edges are republic symbols, and if you don’t recognize the middle symbol you aren’t really a fan. I would like to thank @parvumautomaton for inspiring me to make my own design.

No, thank you. Birthday or not, your stitches always manage to brighten up my day. I always have a ball on your page or recreating your amazing designs. They've made my 16th year extra special 😄

Words On A String

Don’t ever cry my dear, Don’t you even fret, We never have to fear, Because we won’t ever forget,

With the songs in your hearts, And your voices in the air, We will never be apart, And I will always be there,

Though there are many left behind, Know that I watch you all from above, For we are always intertwined, And you always have my love,

Thank you for all the times we’ve had, All the memories of good and bad,

Through the tears we cry, It may be hard to see, But for now we must say goodbye, Let go, and fly free

This poem was written by me, in honor of my amazing grandmother who passed away this last Sunday 5:27 am. She was always so loving and encouraging of me and my art, and I’ll always remember her for that and all the spunk and tenacity she passed down to me. The title was inspired by the balloon release we had in her honor, where we wrote messages on paper and tied them to the strings. It was so beautiful that I get teary eyes just looking at this picture.

All things considered this may or may not be my next cross stitch. Depending on how the next few days go.

Clone Trooper phase 1 helmet for the-living-light. It’s designed to go onto a black background. And although they could be added I didn’t put any marking on it. So I guess this one’s a shiny.
