Pride

"Pride", 1/25/12

Pride is an interesting emotion.  A mix of positive self-reflection, a sense of belonging, and satisfaction in one's choices and actions.......things we all deserve to feel.

Despite our diversity, we are all fragile and perfect, just the way we are.

I deeply admire the bravery so many muster each day, to show their pride, despite ignorance, judgement and prejudice. 

"Pride" was created with painted silk organza, hand and machine embroidery, glass beads and a wonderful Spirula spirula I found on the beach:)
