Fussy chair...

The Mustard Seed of Central Florida has an annual fund-raising event for which artists decorate chairs that will be auctioned off. Here's my entry.  I was thinking about the mustard seed story in the Bible. Even though it is a tiny seed, it  grows into a plant that offers shade and becomes a home and shelter to birds and animals.  The chair I used is wooden, originating from a tree, and then found it's way to The Mustard Seed's thrift shop. The plastic bottles are a lower material than that, our community going to great lengths to dispose of them. Combining them with the chair to create something beautiful, reminds me of the hope of renewal and the work at Mustard Seed offers as they seek to rebuild lives that may be broken or even discarded. Hope is an amazing  source of transformation. Their event is tonight at 6 pm if you want to see the chairs in person and put in a bid for this lovely.
