I used the November Rain kit to help show my sad feelings. I think I really accomplished exactly what I feel. The picture was taken at the Angel's B-ball game that I got to attend as a contestant to win the house we were trying to buy. I was one of 6 people that had a chance to win. Then in the end we couldn't afford to even purchase this new house which we would be moving into this week. So I kept the picture of me in color and put the stadium in black and white to show the feelings of loneliness and emptiness. My hidden journal says: "To be so close to reaching your dream and than losing it completely, leaves such an emptiness in your heart." I had a chance of a lifetime...to win the house of our dreams. I didn't even come close. Then we lost it all together. Sep. 2010
I used crackle paint and some ink for my broken heart. I punched some holes in the corner to represent the holes left in me. Of course these skull flowers explain bad and hurt.
The cracks are showing more broken pieces of me. The stitching is trying to hold some pieces of me together.
