Day Four....the symbol of the octopus....

Aidan had an experience swimming with an octopus so that is the symbol that I've added today, in the circle around her head.  In ancient times, the octopus was thought to be a sign of good luck and protection.  I have added strips of tissue paper with words on them onto her wings....words to live by..... and dots over the bees that look to me like their hives...the bees are safe in their homes.  Her eyes have opened more....

Aidan's Angel....

Day Two....the colors have changed a bit...less blue and more a rosey glow of anticipation.  I've added the symbols of bees as my Meaning of Symbols books says they are the "birds of Our Lady".   Seemed a perfect symbol to add as Aidan boards her flight to Athens after a 12 hour lay over in Canada.
