Mary has the Light Birthing pendant in both acrylic and alcohol ink (Recreating explains why we remade our acrylics in alcohol ink). She loves them both and bought several to share with others. She shared this comment when she received her alcohol ink Light Birthing pendant: Continue reading Light Birthing Pendants
With our decisions to focus on alcohol inks, I decided to remake several of the pieces in our gallery that were acrylic in alcohol ink. So fun to see how they feel different and yet sometimes similar. Continue reading Recreating
Colors, colors, colors! I realized that each Colorful Encouragement could be created in multiple mediums. So Explosive Passion, which was originally an acrylic skin (if you don’t know what that is see my little video below), was remade as an alcohol ink and is stunning (if I do say so myself)!

So fun to see the different pieces come together in different products! Here we see a Golden Majesty pendant in use, Seaside Sunshine‘s original canvas on display, Promise notecard on display, and Promise and Bloom magnets on display. 🙂 Continue reading Canvas, Magnets, Pendants, & Cards
A new piece by request called Light Birthing. This is the first one where I am creating the original piece as an acrylic skin to use for pendants and whatnot after it’s photographed for printing.

This sweet piece of Colorful Encouragement is called Joyous Sunshine. It’s a short but sweet word of encouragement, and had special meaning for the recipient. And it was another pendant that turned out to be a perfect match for her Dyed4you silk 🙂
So fun to see this Seaside Sunshine pendant in action, and it looks beautiful! I was concerned about this one because it had less contrast than some of the others, but it looks gorgeous. A great reminder that there is a purpose and a home for each piece. Their uniqueness is what makes them special! Continue reading Seaside Sunshine Pendant

For a variety of reasons I’d decided recently that as much as I enjoy making the canvases, I would focus my attentions on the smaller pieces like the greeting cards and jewelry (and whatever else I dream up). As such, it made it especially exciting when just a couple days later I had someone purchase one of the Inspired Flow Art necklaces as a gift. 🙂 Continue reading First Piece Sold!
