I’d been thinking about the Winter Solstice for a while and creating in my mind what it would look like if I created it.

I worked hard to stay in the cool colors and creating what I thought a cold gray sky would look like… and I love the result!

And of course, loving all the wonderful layers of paper. And I created a new collage pak for today’s piece!

As I started thinking about solstice and I did a deep dive into the actual meaning of solstice and oh the treasures I found that applied to life right now.

I’ll tell you all about it in the video.
