Even though we live so far away from each other (Canada to Mauritius), she has a special place in my heart. I may not know her as well as those who see her regularly, but these things inspired the tribute board :
- She mostly wears black and white, so I knew I wanted those as the main colours
- She had daisies in her wedding bouquet and loves nature so used flowers and leaves dies
- She is creative and has painted in the past, so I used watercolour
- She is fun and enjoys games and taught me the dice game
- She is a psychiatrist, good communicator and says, "Do you want to talk about it?", so I have used printed book pages on the background under the paint; word pattern paper and frame and the speech bubbles
- Family and love are very important to her ... and she is part of mine, so the framed heart
- I used the green acrylic jewels because she is a gem, and her engagement ring is an emerald
- The autumn maple leaf to symbolise Canada
- The guinea fowl feather because she loves guinea fowl and we went to a game reserve nearly every time the family came across to South Africa
- She loves to travel, so have the world map
- She and her family is musical with wonderful singers and players so stamped some notes
- A smooth stone - again for nature, and she was the one who first shared special stones with me
