I was thinking about beauty and how subjective it is... Why is a peacock is seen as lovely but an otter is plain at best? It's easy to make value judgements about beauty... About who is...who isn't...


A peacocks beauty is no more than a peacock being a peacock... I wish people would redefine beauty as people just embracing who they are... So that the more honestly put your true self out there ...the more beautiful you are to others.... The more you celebrate your own uniqueness the more others see you as you do...


This card is done on mat board cut unto aceo format with a background of several glittery metallic papers... I think it really suited the main image of a peacock feather... I added extra sparkle with a row of golden crystals along the bottom and three auorora borialis crystals up the side. Hopefully looking at the card will make people remember that a peacock only has to be a peacock to be lovely...and so do you.
