Nipsea/Niki's Light My Way From the Sea Home Puz

Created together with one of my oldest friends for out Churches Women's Retreat 2014 speaker and committee door decals for our rooms, we were part of the committee and had fun finishing this project together.... This particular one was Nipsea/Niki's creation.... I'm posting it because as we made them (literally watching paint dry a long exhausting task) we discussed posting the completed projects on an art website. Currently she does not have an art website for several reasons, but we agreed so others could see the fun two old friends had together and give others creative ideas for college decorations or their own women retreats we would post the work we completed together on my DA account... Each work will be posted noting in the name if Nipsea/Niki completed them or me CGSH/Bre.
*Please Note the frame work of the puzzels were not completed by us, though we are both talented in the arts neither of us have the gift in wood carving/wood work. The puzzle cutouts were created by church member who owns his own wood company... I think... That or its a hobby of his, but either case the shape of the puzzles goes to him....
**Also the background colors (the main painted colors) of the puzzle pieces and the painted chalkboard (yes the chalkboard squares are actually paint, if you go to an art supply store or online you can generally find this stuff) And the hard work on the background painting and this chalkboard paint belongs to the Fantastic Ladies of the Bayside Community Church Women's Retreat Committee of 2013-14....
Thank you all for all your dedicated hard work. And to our fantastic long term leader we all love all you did and all your fantastic ideas, were sad to see you step down but thank you for all you did and for rebuilding the retreat board after years without one, and we all pray you find the much needed rest you greatly diserve for all you do and have done... Thank you
Don't just thank my friend and I for this work, but the whole group who made this possible, this work is made possible by several people in several different processes... Thank them too..
