In my arts & crafts I've noticed a theme of redemption. I like using found materials that would either be thrown away or used for evil or unused or common and turning them into something beautiful; valuable; meaningful.
This (above) is torn from an ad on the back cover of a fashion magazine that a friend gave me. The brown paper is from a paper grocery bag, the typewriter is from my mother & father-in-law's basement, and the staples are simply staples. No new materials were used for its creation.
I saw the birdcage veil over the model's face, over her mouth, and it reminded me of the idea of guarding my mouth, as the proverb talks about. The veil is like the guard: whatever passes through it must be closely watched. The mouth isn't hidden, or sealed shut; it is also not opened wide. It is delicately & gracefully guarded. With this our life is preserved, the proverb says.

i dont know the context here... is it verbal, or sexual? i am not trying to be crude, but i don't know the context.
good design though, i like all the staples on the right
verbal. :)
and in scripture, it's "he" & "his", but for this piece i thought it would be appropriate to use the feminine.
cool. i see. sometimes proverbs mean more than they actually say. well, most of the time they do.
but then again, i am not too familiar.
I LOVE that. I want one. Can I buy that?
really?
if so, then of course!
