4x4 Mixed Media Collage melded with beeswax, now available in my Etsy Shop.

I am doing art every day, however I'm having a hard time getting my art photographed and posted. Too many things going on. If I don't manage to get it done every day,  I may start posting a couple times a week to keep you abreast of what I'm doing. We'll see how it goes. :)

Greeting card made to showcase stamps where I work. If I was efficient, I'd remember which companies to credit, but I don't. Stamped images, inked edges, crystal lacquer on the typewriter.
