Five for Friday: Lovely Lotus - Katie Gehring
Posted by Clean Canvas Collaborator on
Hello friends,
Katie here. The Lotus flower is a popular symbol and image in many religions and cultures. Emerging from the murky depths of a pond, this exquisite plant is stunning symbol of triumph over adversity. The lovely lotus also represents the sun, awakening, enlightenment, rebirth, and beauty. Today, I rounded up a few lotus-inspired objects and inspiration to share.
Let in the light
As a symbol of the sun, it’s only fitting that the lotus is represented in these light pendants.
DIY Lotus Origami
Master these folds and you can cultivate a garden of lotus flowers.
Jewelry
A lotus necklace makes a beautiful and meaningful statement.
Papercut Art
This papercut art by artist, Lisa Rodden, features a lotus and koi and is nothing short of spectacular.
Words of Wisdom
Finally, some words of lotus wisdom.
My card
Using the Lotus stamp set and Lotus die I created a simple thank you card. Stop my blog for more details.
- Katie
Thank you for sharing the wonderful inspiration with us, Katie!
Fid time to create and make something today!
