JFAC Prompt V

Journal Prompt:  Todays prompt is "It's all in the details..." I think adding the details to something really make it special and from the heart!! You can choose to interpret that in any way :)  I chose to focus on all of the little details that make my home really special.  It may be little details that you add to your art to make it yours.  It could be little details like freckles or dimples that make you so special.  Just think about it!!

I just love detail.  Whether it's clothing, accessories, flowers, anything.  It's the detail that makes something different to everything else that's similar.  It's the detail that makes the plainest thing special.  I have a very simple, plain pink wool coat and on the lapel I wear an intricate beaded brooch.  If I make a purse from floral fabric I will pick out just a small part of the pattern in a corner with pretty glass beads.  All these little touches make them mine, and different to everyone elses!  I once bought a wonderful book by the late Elspeth Thompson called The Wonderful Weekend Book which advocated the rekindling of the art of letter writing.  Her preference of good quality velum and a decent pen was something I adopted and really enjoy.
