New wood burn pendants

I'm just so excited about a new batch of wood burned pendants I've been working on.
Here is a preview of a couple I've completed this week.
After I find some time, they will go for sale in my Etsy store.

Shrunken Monday Night

On Monday night, life unexpectedly gave me some FREE time. My daughter stayed over at her abuela's house, and my husband was obligated to work late.
I dashed over to Michael's Craft Store and bought some Ruff 'n Ready frosted Shrinky Dink plastic and some colored pencils.
I played around and made several pendants with the stuff, and was overall pretty pleased with how they turned out. I especially like the hippie-colored rainbow ones.
Late into the night, I also created this turquoise beaded necklace that will probably become a staple in my everyday jewelry collection.
Not bad for a few hours work!

More blue, more digital collage work

For some reason I love the combinations of architecture, particularly skyscrapers, and nature. I think it could be the similar patterns of repetition found in immense buildings that are weirdly chaotic and soothing. They inevitably merge with trees and plants around them and so intertwine in this collision of man made patterns and Mother Nature's landscape. I've explored this combination mostly below my level of awareness until I recently figured out how often this theme appears in my work, or images I'm drawn to.
These blue botanical images started only as an exploration of color and soothing design, but weren't complete until I added a vintage image of a skyscraper in various settings. I think they turned out nice, and the colors are sooooo very trend!

New digital collage art

I've been meaning to work more on my digital fine art for a long time now and have found some recent inspiration.
I'm going to explore "professional" grade printing at a local copy shop down the road today and see what the mystery is when it comes to printing archival quality prints of my work.
Here are two designs I worked on recently. I like the bright colors and botanical themes...
