custom adoption canvas

i had a call to make a canvas just like my sisters adoption canvas! i was so excited that i could make another for a family to look at and always remember how much a part of adoption is in their family. of course no two can be the same as my mind is always coming up with a different way of creating. so here is my 2nd version (same colors:) enjoy! and thanks to the family i was able to make this for.

adoption canvas

this was made for my sister and her family. they have adopted two beautiful children. i had the honor of going through the process with my sister over the phone as she lives in texas. there is so much more to adoption than i ever knew. they went through so much wondering if the person looking at their profile would choose them, home studies, meeting the birth mothers and families, meeting their new babies, and praying for the time period until they had their gotcha day so everything was finalized. during this process jeremiah 29:11 was their bible verse they came back to often. The symbol of the heart with the triangle is an adoption symbol . . . the three sides of the triangle represent the adoptive family, their children, and the birth families. Those 3 things have created this family and they are all linked by a heart (love). on this specific canvas i added and extra heart-one for each of the children and the 4 pearls on the heart are for each person in their family. this was such a privilige to make for my sister and her family. they wanted a visual reminder of the gift adoption has been in their life. this canvas captured all she wanted to remind her of. if you are interested in a personalized canvas contact me at artsytreasures@aol.com. thanks

be still

my friend and i made matching canvases one night. she came over with this bible verse. we are both busy moms and lose our focus at times and this verse and the BE STILL is a big beautiful reminder to us each day to look to God. the colors of this just flowed together and it is now one of my favorites. we kept the background busy as it represents the craziness and busyness of our lives and left BE STILL a plain black to signify stillness in the storm of life. this was made on a 10x10 canvas.
