a glimpse

 One of the challenges of collaging is that as you build layer upon layer you need to continue, even if you cannot fully visualize where you are going, or you won't get to an end result. 

A little like life sometimes. Having the courage and faith to keep going is where we live out most of life's moments... enjoying and savoring and straining with each step... and sometimes catching a glimpse of the finished product.

The free motion quilting here didn't feel relaxed or free until the sixth one! But, thankfully it was mostly free flowing before the gray stitching which transforms each one into a whimsical vignette.
