space web


This is a piece I did last weekend, but didn't have time during the week to post here. When I was done and stepped back to truly look at it, I was surprised how dark it is. It has a desolate, trapped feeling to it. It started out as something inspired by the science fiction series I've been reading, but it took a turn along the way. I'm wondering if long days/evenings at work have been taking a toll. I suspect whatever I start working on this evening will be lighter. We'll see where my mood and muse take me....

discover and joy


I finished the WIP I shared last week. Taking a cue from Gina Lee Kim's book, I added sail boats. It was fun to get my alcohol inks out and play with them on photo paper. The masks are washi tape I trimmed down. The "Discover" is copper I cut, engraved and then burned before using brads to attach it to the piece. 

The Joy piece, below, was a quick little thing I did yesterday - just playing around and experimenting. It reflected how I felt about my Thanksgiving weekend.
