Day 365 of 365 (December 31)

Abstract Canvas (8x8x2) work in progress - several layers in. String and additional lace added.  This is not the best photo, I took it before the gel medium dried, so that is the white you see. More work will be done!

It's New Year's Eve, and I'm proud to say I have created art every day for this past year. There are days it's been a challenge, however I've decided I'll be continuing  with the Art 365 Challenge during 2012 as well.  

Thanks for following along. :)
