These are particularly difficult to photograph well due to the reflective qualities of the glitter.

Art Journal pages

This week, I've worked on a couple of art journal projects.

This piece was a mixed media collage in a junk journal made from brown packing paper.  It's a double page spread.  I really love the way the pearlescent medium makes the moon glow.  I added some rhinestones for stars, but these are very hard to capture well on camera.  

Fractured Heart is a mixed media piece using markers and colored pencils.  The colored pencils are from Castle arts and blend really well.  It's going to be part of a handmade memorial journal (Peter Steele--Type 0 Negative).  

I've also listed some de-stash items and artwork in my Ebay store.  Be sure to check it out.  The link is listed below.

Update---New listing on ebay

Well-this year has definitely started off cray cray.  The day job is still that way, with the hope of it settling into normalcy no where in the near future.  The health situation in the US is presenting lots of new challenges.  In my area, two of the grocery stores I frequent are experiencing empty shelves and delays in restocking.  I haven't experienced anything like this even when preparing for a hurricane here in Florida or a major snowstorm in North Carolina.  Definitely interesting times.

Even the bread was gone.
I'm healthy and well, which I'm grateful for.  I'm trying to stay positive and am continuing to work on my artwork and art projects.  I have tried to order the supplies that I might need in the near future in the event of shipping delays.  I'm also working on some other projects with the hope of making announcements on those in the coming weeks.
