I've started to play a bit with digital collage using my own photography and gel prints. I ended up using Sketchbook for Android, not sure if that's my best option for Android or not, but it did work just fine for my purposes. Looking forward to playing with this technique more...

I knew I had some cool #round art kicking around today for the #BlueSkyArtShow prompt today, but I'd completely forgotten about this digital collage composition made from some photographs and gel prints.

If you are feeling helpless in the face of All Of It (and it's a lot), I am telling you: find a way to plug in locally.
Figure out who is doing something-- anything-- meaningful, and see if you can help.
The first org you find may not be the one. But you will get there.
It will help your heart.
A circle of bright colorful peeling paint.

Two bunnies (one larger, one smaller) made out of discarded Mio water flavor bottles, wire, round plastic cylinders, screw nuts and pencil erasers.
I made a little family of "trash bunnies" to bring with me to the couple of flea markets I have before Easter. I was originally going to use the bottle and such as a "skeleton" of sort underneath some sculpting clay, but I like them much better made entirely out of trash.
