Thankful for Diversity in the Arts



Thankful is the optional theme over at Path of Positivity! What makes you thankful?  

This wonderful image reminds me to be thankful for diversity!  I look at this adorable Native American girl and I think of all the different kinds of people who have made this world what it is.  

Just thinking from an artistic aspect, it is amazing the different beautiful craft influences from different cultures! 

Origami from Japan
Glass Beading from Italy
Turquoise, Shell and Coral Beading from Native Americans
Pop Art from the US
Day of the Dead Art from Aztec that extended through Mexico and South America
Textile Arts from India
Dot and Symbol Painting from Aboriginal Australians 

There are so many more; but my thought is, we use many of these influences in our paper crafting today!  I'm thankful for all the creative people who came up with such artistic ideas!

*   *   * 
This delightful digital image, Flower Dreams, was from A Day for Daisies.  The orange and plaid paper are from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles Simply Spring Mini Kit.     

The die cut flowers are from Cricut Library:  Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge.
