Reports of ICE harassing even indigenous people are an extra layer of disturbing that I didn't forsee. But here's what should happen! Please share #laloalcaraz cartoons

Awww! I am listening to Fellowship of the Ring right now. We're almost to Buckleburry Ferry.

Two projects from Acrylic University on YouTube. I'm taking a free 3-day workshop with them. #art #acrylicart #acrylicpainting #landscapepainting

I'm in a bit of a reading slump, too. Just finished Pestilence by Laura Thalassa. I'll read War, but I picked up a contemporary romance to read first. I've had too much paranormal romance back to back.

My latest art journal page. #artjournal

The Dylan movie would have been 100X better if they'd written it as a quest film where they have to reassemble the Fellowship of the Traveling Wilburys in order to defeat Spotify

It's beautiful!

I used to hand paint them, but my Christmas card list is too big for that now. I mailed out 61 cards and handed out a few more.

Thank you!

#Dephemerember Prompt 15 - Mechanical Garden, which I interpreted to be Steampunk. Very COLORful Steampunk!

Now that we've had two days of Steampunk, and I've switched to my art journal, I'm feeling much better!

Today's Dephemerember prompt was Steampunk Butterflies in a frame. I had fun with it, and broke out my jumbo art journal for this one.

Thank you!

I feel you. I gave up on Prompt 12 all together. This one was better for me, and the Steampunk stuff is downright fun. It's almost over! I'll be back in my art journals next month. Prompt free, lol.

Looking good!

That is breathtaking! I love it.

I love this! I was eyeing the lino cut supplies at the art store the other day... I may treat myself.

And the cards were ready in a hour! I'll be doing this from now on, I think.

I made my own Christmas cards this year by uploading a photo of my own artwork to WalMart and had them printed. They cost 50 cents a piece, but I like having a personalized card!

YouTube video by Susan's Colorful Expressions #Dephemerember Prompt 7 - Least favorite junk journal ephemera... Teabags, UGH!

Today's #dephemerember prompt was least favorite ephemera. I hate handling wet teabags, so I used dyed teabag paper to make a colorful side pocket for a junk journal. #junkjournal

They look great! I love the textured piece!
