Every month the Handmade Louisiana team has a "Craft a Long" in which we all submit items we've made based on a theme. This month's theme was "New Beginnings". The following are our members interpretations of that theme. Please vote on your favorite item that fits that theme.
1. "New Love" Wedding Photography by Mama's Little Monkeys
"Although not for sale, this is a photograph I took the day my niece got married. A wedding is always a fabulous new beginning!"
2. Colorful Lotus Blossom Necklace by Chloe Boutique
The lotus flower starts as a small flower down at the bottom of a pond in the mud and muck. It slowly grows up towards the water's surface continually moving towards the light. Once it come to the surface of the water the lotus flower begins to blossom and turn into a beautiful flower. The color green is also closely linked to the Old English word, "growan" which means "to grow".
