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!

    I remember seeing that quote when I was looking for one. Of course, I love those butterflies and they make the path so much brighter and happier! Love it.

    It's a good thing I changed my mind about what I was going to do for this challenge... phew! The butterfly path (mine is a lot smaller) will appear in a later post! The idea is great (of course) and your page is beautiful.
