We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Happiness is PATH shaped!

The Craft Barn Q&L fortnightly challenge comes round too quickly!  This time the words are PATH and HORIZON.

Found quite a few quotes, but the one I chose gave me instant inspiration.

There is no path to happiness: happiness is the path.
Buddha

Brayered some acrylic paint onto card, stamped some butterflies in white paint, then punched out endless butterflies from leftover scraps, and collaged them onto the path.


Happy July!
