Today’s video also features the artwork of some really talented Catholic artists who have created more advanced murals and installations. You’re definitely going to want to check them out! They graciously allowed me to share examples of their work in this video.

How to Make a Mini Mary Garden

Our local moms’ group did this really fun Mini Mary Garden craft on a recent retreat. It was so much fun! Everyone could customize their gardens to include different combinations of rocks, flowers, and moss.

This would be such a fun craft project to do with your women’s group, Bible study group, for teens/tweens in youth group, or a fun “mom and me” project to do with a child.

All of these supplies were generously donated by my local moms group. If you would like to support future videos, you can donate via my Buy Me a Coffee page or purchase something from my art supply wish list: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/amyheyseart
