My project today is one that is very near and dear to my heart.
My inspiration came from the challenge 'WORDS THAT ARE SPECIAL' at A Vintage Journey. Whilst going through the gorgeous creations from the DT, I came across Jennie's amazing project. I was so inspired, and I set off to look through my napkin collection and then I saw this one ......
....... and I knew immediately what my project would be about. Africa.
I tore sections of the napkin (which traveled with me all the way from Cape Town, South Africa) and transformed a wooden plaque into this:-
Here is a close-up. Unfortunately I don't know who wrote this so I can't give them credit.
It's so beautiful I get the chills every time I read it.

Absolutely beautiful, in creation and verse! Lovely piece of artwork! I did a little *googling* It's a poem by Bridget Dore dedicated to Mandela.
