The Light of Unity

It has been a busy start to the month of March, but not for the Ruhi Crafts blog.
I am currently on the road, and as I type this, the boom! boom! of the Disney fireworks are going off in the background. I have spent most of March in Orange county, but the time is going in fast. I have an idea to create some craft projects from general, “free” junk I am collecting but inspiration has not kicked in yet. So between working and bicycle training, I stopped by the Dollar Tree and bought a few craft items.

I bought a pack of the foam frames for light switches, some hearts, and markers. I thought it would a appropriate to use the following quotation to decorate the frame.

So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth. The One true God, He Who knoweth all things, Himself testifieth to the truth of these words.
(Baha'u'llah, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 14)


As you can see from the picture my penmanship is not very good, but you can get the idea, for a quick project for a children’s class, I am sure you can improve on the decoration, with normal access to your craft box. Also if you do not have access to the pre-cut foam frames you can make your own from foam sheet, or cardboard, or poster board, or a host of other materials.
Let us know what you think and send us some of your ideas, and pictures of your finished projects.
I hope to bring you some more minimalist craft ideas, from on the road, very soon.
