Created By Hand Challenge -- "dream"

What a fun challenge from Created By Hand. Their challenge is to use the word "dream" in a project. I drew all of these flowers and then cut them out and added a brad. It's different. Still not sure if I like it or not.


Hearing the word dream reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe. So here's one of my favorite poems.

A Dream Within a Dream
by Edgar Allan Poe
Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow: You are not wrong who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand-- How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep--while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?
