I am the artist of my life... Mixed Media

Yay, I am back!
I have been doing lots of things and sharing very little as usual. Trying to get into the habit of posting my work, I will try to do this frequently.
Recently I took part in an event called Epiphany by Jolene Payne in the Facebook group called Live Art Journaling and Self Developing, a wonderful mixed media community.
!0 days of working 10 minutes on 10 cards, sounds easy, but it was a challenge.
I love the finished product and made a little book.
