This was one of the easiest projects with super simple supplies and yet it is one of my favorites.
A little crackle, acrylic ink, and gesso and look what you can get! Yummy!
The inspiration for this piece gave me goosebumps. April, one of the gals in the office, is always on the lookout for quotes and inspiration for me to use in my art.
On one particular day, she sat down in my studio and started reading some of the most inspirational quotes… but when she got to this one it sent shivers up my spine…
“The comeback is always stronger than the setback”.
I know that this has always been true for me… I didn’t always believe that… but the older I get the more I know this to be true… I share more about what helps me get through trials and how stronger is always the byproduct of the setback.
Have fun watching and creating!
