I chose to write this first line of the Native American prayer in a circle that embraces my design of the word gratitude. The text is written in Uncial around the top, and Italic across the bottom of the circle. I let the Bister ink colours blend by dipping in several colours. I cut an embossing stencil of the word gratitude and hand embossed it.
