September Theme: Unfurled
spiral-y, wrapped and unwrapped, slowly revealed and layered.
Unfurl is such a lovely word. It evokes fluttering flags, tendrils of new growth, winding paths, bound fabric scrolls, blossoming flowers, secrets, unwrapped gifts, labyrinthine creations that reveal themselves one layer at a time.

Our
artistic journey unfurls as we acquire and debut new skills day by day. Looking
back over your creative life, see how many discoveries you've made by unfurling
your wings a little at a time. There is no hurry; no rush. We all have a little
blossom inside of us that is coaxed open as we travel through this life.
Continuous growth means constant unfolding of our protective layers, and as we
expose ourselves to others and to new experiences, we evolve into the artists we
were meant to be.
