My Artistic interpretation of the classic Etta James song - "At Last"


This song evokes the hope of Love to come
and the end of searching and wandering
At last My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh yeah yeah, at last

The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
And I found a dream that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

Oh yeah yeah, and you smile, you smile
Oh, and then the spell was cast
And here we are in Heaven
For you are mine at last


Work in Progress


Petals with the lyrics on them.  Each petal has some ot hte words to the song


Finished box sprinkled with rose essential oil, evoking past memories
for me

Guyana - Bacoo

Guyanese Culture - Mythical figure - Bacoo!
Like the Irish Leprechaun; rewards an owner with riches if the owner feeds it milk and bananas.
Active mainly at night, it is said that a  "bakkoo" if treated well, will answer the wishes of its owner.
'Baku' in some West African languages means 'little brother' or 'short man' thought to have been brought to Guyana from West Africa, pigmy tribe - who are thought to have magical power.
