Indelible Spirit takes form!

I'm pretty happy with this - I am doing a piece based on the Birthing From Within idea of a Womb with a View. The dark blue is the body of the mother, the paler purple is the womb, and the lotus is the cervix blooming...

Can you tell that I am hoping that I am going to be pregnant? I should have ovulated yesterday. :) My big personal intention of the year is *trusting my body* and that is what prepared childbirth is all about, so, since my body doesn't always cooperate with me, and the challenge is called the Indelible Spirit, making a piece about my soon to be very pregnant belly seemed, well, empowered. I'm honestly very happy with the progress so far, but I am even more happy to actually have gotten from drawing to fabric - finally! The piece is due at the end of the month, so this is not a single moment too soon!

I made good progress on the beading for my Weird Quilt challenge today too, but the upshot is that my eyes are *done* right now, so CSI for the rest of the evening it is!<
