Happy Tuesday everyone! Today we are to bring beauty from the world around us for Darla the Dragonfly to show her daughter Dingle Bell. It's true there is so much beauty in nature but the real beauty comes from within. I wish for Dingle Bell to be able to find the beauty she has within herself. She is a lovely little dragonfly and where ever she goes there will be beauty there as well. Everyone of us are God's children or creatures and are beautiful just as God has made us. So, little Dingle Bell, search for beauty everywhere but start from within.

Ooooh! I so love purple and turquoise together. Yes beauty does come from within. Funnily enough, although artists are very visual, they more than anyone totally get it. To be a great artist you have to recognize and capture that inner spirit.

Great sentiment, and wonderful beaded body on the dragonfly.
Your write-up reminds me a bit of an illustrated book I have about caterpillars turning into dragonflies. It's really more an adult book, because it's about life's struggles and disappointments, but I remember a friend reading it to her granddaughter, aged about 6 at the time, who made some funny but totally serious comment about what a deep, meaningful book it was.
