Flowers for my baby

In June, I had decided that I wanted to paint pots and plant seeds in honor of my beautiful daughter, Kennedy. The pictures below show some of the process... Two pots with sunflower seeds made it and are sprouting flowers at this point. The others weren't so lucky, so we we filled them with pretty plants instead. I love how the pots turned out and hope to continue to use them over the years as I remember my little girl. I feel such joy and peace when I find ways to honor my little one. It makes me feel useful as her mother in making sure she is never forgotten.



Working hard...(by the way, I only painted...I had a friend draw on the pots beforehand)


"Little Chickadee"


"Earth Mama loves Angel Baby"


"on butterfly wings"


"My Forever Flower in Love's Garden"

Those pots are adorable! What a creative way to remember your little Kennedy. I so love the "Little Chickadee" pot. (^_^) You should submit the pics to Still Life 365.

Those pots are so cute!! I'm impressed - I don't think I could manage to paint so well.

Thinking of you, and of Kennedy. I hope those pots and plants bring you lots of joy and comfort.
