Diva challenge # 124 We Are Calgary

I am late in getting this post out and the ZIA is finally finished. I wanted to be sure to post even though the Diva has moved onto another challenge.

The Calgary and Southern Alberta floods were  devastating. I  helped in the community of Bowness and many families have lost so much. Entire basements stripped, the contents, drywall, furnaces, what ever is in your basement, gone., piled in the streets to be taken to the dump.  Many upper floors are ok but a few houses right along the river will have to be torn down.

The impressive thing was the support of Calgarians. Possessions have been lost  while  friends have been made. The circle of support grew daily. It was amazing to see people walking into the community to help while I was walking out. After a long day at their regular jobs they came to help.

This ZIA represents the growing support of family, friends and strangers to help during this crisis. It just seemed to get bigger and bigger.

“Life always waits for some crisis to occur before revealing itself at its most brilliant.” ~Paul Coelho

It was so encouraging to see all the support Calgarians brought to this crisis. Please be sure to check out all the entries to this challenge @ I Am The Diva

Diva challenge # 122 grid (un)lock

This is a another great challenge. Using Maria and Ricks post regarding grid (un)lock  Laura challenged us to create from one of their seeds or create your own. I played around and decided to make my own. After deciding on a tangle I completed the tile, then I decided to keep going. As I completed another aspect of potential finishing point I took a picture. I ended up documenting the evolution of the tile. Posted are my first and last. the slide show shows the progress. tangle,shade, water colour three colors applied and done.  Very satisfying. Thank you Laura.  Check out all the entries!!
