Frosty Window & Teacup Collab



Upper image: My Mom gets as much credit for this one as I do. I drew the image & painted it, but she gave me the idea for the frosted window treatment. She is a crafter & was making wintry greeting cards at the same table while I was painting. She was using pressed dryer sheets & glitter to make a "frosted look" on her cards. I had to try it, of course. Photos never capture the fun of any tactile, textural frills I add to my art. Especially annoying, since this "frosted" treatment is really effective, but you can't see it here.

Lower image: My collab for Aya... a tiny porcelain teacup, teetering on the page.

I've got a good imagination, though, :-D I think I can picture how it looks. But I'd rather see it int he flesh! In any case, I like it. :-D

Be curious to see what Aya does with the jiggling coffee cup.

The frosted treatment sounds so cool! And I can't wait to see what Aya puts under that cup. :)
