Various things mean different things to different people.. but the end result is the same.. Water, Fire, Air and Earth. all so very important to our lives.. withone one the others would lose part of their purpose.. I am glad I still have the paints.. as I find a deep blue one.. and with my finger I create a swirl of blue... perhaps they look like the ripples the stream makes when you toss a pebble in.. its like out lives.. we ripple out into different paths.. sometimes its rough until the water calms and levels out..
Air. It can be a dangerous element.. destruction by the heavy winds.. or a cool breeze to ease the heat.. but much needed all the same.. I like the wind.. we need the air that creates the wind to live.. With a small needle.. I thread a pale thread and with delicate stitches.. I creat clouds..that seem to move when you look at it from different views.
Fire... a warm feeling.. the main fires.. my home.. a sense of family.. yet I have seen the damage a fire can do.... I wondered now.. how can I make fire appear on the patch of leather... I sat and thought for a few moments.. before coming up with a plan.. I tool a red, yellow and orange ribbon.. and shreaded it.. and then put a thin layer of red paint on the patch...then combined the ribbons into a multicolored flame.. and pressed it into the paint.. I set it to dry..
The earth... Mother earth... giver of all things... she feeds the bosk.. which inturn feeds and clothes us.. Again I have to wonder how do I create the look of earth on to a leather piece.. I left the wagon to get some blackwine and something to eat.. As I chewed on the bread.. a thought came to me.. it was simple.. yet would create exactly what I was looking for.. and so earth was created. a single design of a tree on a barren patch.. but the vibrant green of the leaves.. would draw your eye to the patch..
I soon had enough patches to start to place them together..
