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.

X marks the spot ...

The latest letter in the Craft Barn Dictionary challenge is X - oh joy!

Not a lot to choose from - one if my mantras is - if stuck go to the Greek alphabet! ... I'm joking of course.

But I have gone to the Greek alphabet and my chosen word is the 14th letter - xi.

I've used a multilayered painted background, and dug deep into that area of my craft room that has been neglected for so long. I was searching for some alphabet letters - which I did find eventually (woo hoo!) along with a whole heap of other stuff which hasn't seen the light of day for soooo long. A bit like the toys stuffed into a box that are no longer played with ...

Anyway, here is my offering -


Tomorrow is the Autumn Equinox - looking forward to misty mornings and that spidery web-fest on all the shrubs, plus crunchy leaves and stunning  golden colours - oh, and curling up on the sofa with a good book!

    Beautiful background and wonderful use of those letters. I love how the pink really pops off the page compared to the rest of the letters. Great choice, too. Mine is finished, I just needed to determine the day to show it.

    A very good choice for X. I also thought about Xi but couldn't really think of how to show it. This one really works, well done!
