I have found myself divided between loyalty to my 95 year old father and compassion for my 67 year old brother. A brief history is that my father is frail; however, very sharp mentally. Him and my mom have owned a 3 story townhouse since 2003. My brother has been living in my parent’s home since 2010. (My mother passed from Alzheimer's in 2014) My brother’s health has decreased with a diagnosis of CMT and type II diabetes leading to kidney failure. Without going too in-depth I am trying to help both of my loved ones. I’m am doing my best to care for both of them living under the same roof. Neither can help the other. The image for me evokes a scene of profound mechanical dysfunction, where components intended for synchronization are instead locked in a destructive conflict.
I created a card that matched how I am feeling. I offset the Secret Sea paper that is stamped using the Linen stamp. Random placement of the cogs that are made to work together. I distressed the cogs using bronze embossing powder while stamping the clean precise arrows using Misty Moonlight which matches the base color of the card.
