4 x 4 Friday & Soartful Saturday--Woman


When I think of "woman" in the largest sense, my thoughts always go to Mother Nature, Mother Earth and Gaea--wonderful, meaningful symbols of the nurturing and protective aspects of the feminine spirit.
So, in celebration of International Woman's Day, here is Gaea.

Images are from Suzee Que and NASA, background and textures from MBGrigby at T4L, and Jeanette at Soartful. Photoshop brushes are 8 2nds of Light and Neutron Collapse.

    Gaea. I'm glad that I did...it makes this all the meaningful. Will you be submitting it to Soartful? I hope so.

  7. This is absolutely lovely! I love how you've centered the Gaia in the sphere, like she is in a womb, and it is very symbolic.
