Just Testing

Those 2 ex votos I posted about a few days ago? Well, they don't look the same anymore, now that they've got a home to go to. I decided to send them to my friend Josef; perhaps he would like to hand them out to a student or volunteer (Josef runs Dragon Slayers, his exotic animal program for physically handicapped people). For Josef, I embroidered a little "Keep Calm..." sentiment on a felt heart so he can keep it in his pocket as a gentle reminder when the going gets tough. And it is always tough for him. But he's tougher. Now, the reason I call this post "Just Testing" is because I used some "good stuff" on these pretties. Karla Nathan has challenged us to "use the good stuff instead of saving it in boxes". My good stuff was the enameled crown and that little glittered heart I made from paper clay. Now I'm ready for more.
