#BeKind is an online campaign to promote the importance of kindness. You never know how valuable your small acts of kindness may be!
I designed this wall hanging as a gentle reminder to reset my frame of mind to the importance of considering others.

A decorative wall hanging worked flat from the bottom up with chunky yarn and finished with a fringe.
