Tina and Vladka's new challenge and the story behind made me stop and think... The topic is gratitude. How often do we say thank you... it may sound such an ordinary word? 10 times a day at least? But how often do we really think about people and things that really matter to us and we are grateful for?
Sometimes it is just good to pause, stop thinking of what more we want, what is missing... and just enjoy the present, grateful for what we have and whom we share it with.

Let this post also be a thank you for all of you who are reading my blog and post all the lovely comments.

A dear friend of mine has bought a glass container which she wanted to use as a piggy bank. I was very honoured when she asked me to colour it. She did not give me any indications or instructions, so I decided to make it very colourful and playful.
I used a relief contour for glass to draw lines and created various geometric shapes, which I coloured using transparent and mat glass paint.
On the picture you can only see the glass part (photographed from different sides), since the cover was assembled later.


I enter the piggy bank to the following challenges:
