Via Crucis

Today's postcard

The hearts on the postcard are cut from painted Wonder Under. If you try it, Dyna Flow paints work really well. They have just the right thin consistency. With other paints you may need to dilute them with water. Paint on the webbing side of the Wonder Under and when the paint is dry, cut out the shape you want and very carefully peel it away from the paper. Lay it on your fabric, put parchment on top and iron it down. This isn't an exact science, so don't look for precision, just love seeing how it comes out. Try using at least two colors and watch how they work together.

During Easter week, Vineyard Central Church in Norwood is hosting the Via Crucis, an artistic portrayal of the Stations of the Cross. As far as I can tell, this is a young church housed in an old building that was a former Catholic church. I always enjoy looking at old churches and imagining what the neighborhood was like when they were built. Often no paved streets, electricity, or cars.

Many of the Stations are interactive. This is the first Station, which had the most artwork.

The candles in front of the stained glass window are at the last Station. There was a coffin in this room to represent Jesus being placed in the tomb. The first and last Stations were in their own rooms, the others in what used to be the sanctuary. Visitors can spend as much time as they like at each station. I think that the experience would be especially good at night - it's open until 11 p.m.
