I love the theme of wings for this weeks Mixed Media Monday! Each of my Spirit Houses above features wings. The story of the Spirit Houses: I live far away from my female relatives, we don't get to see each other nearly often enough, and I love them and miss them. We are a family of strong, vibrant women, each of us so different, yet with shared qualities... and when we all get together... WOW! One Thanksgiving we were all in the kitchen together, and someone said "It's like a swirl of colourful, tangled skirts!" Ever since then, we have been known as "The Skirts." I made these little Spirit Houses, one for each of my beloved "skirts," so that I can have a little reminder of each woman's special qualities which I can see every day. So far I have seven Spirit Houses, and I am working on two more. Here, I am sharing the three with wings. One of them represents me... can you guess which one?
