Salt: perseverance

It was my turn to choose the topic for today's Salt challenge. When I chose 'perseverance' I was unaware of the difficulties and circumstances that some of us are going through atm; I also didn't think about this being so close to the London marathon and the picture it represents of 'running the race' with perseverance.

You can read what I wrote here.

I used pictures of the London marathon from http://telegraph.co.uk/.

The background paper is K & Co Urban Rhapsody. I inked the soles of my trainers with versafine black for the footprints. (My first idea had been to stamp with my feet on to shrink plastic, but it curled up and got stuck, so it finished up in the bin - but I'm happier with this anyway).

To read the verse from Hebrews you will need to click on the picture to enlarge it.


Please visit our Salt blog and see all the lovely crafting done by the rest of the team - and perhaps join in our challenge - we'd love to see what you do for it.

  5. I love it Hazel, my mind often wandered to the verses about the crown of vicory after the race. Praying God will give you the perseverance to get through the trials.

  9. Love the trainer prints - great idea! The little "perseverance" label where the designer name would be across the middle of the foot is inspired!
