Eggshell Mosaics, My Newest Addiction.

Hello, all! No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, just finding a lot less time in life for blogging. I won't make promises to blog more (even though I'm going to attempt exactly that), as we all know life ebbs and flows and we often find ourselves putting something on the back burner. For me, it's my blog. Luckily, my desire to create and the actual creation process never gets put on the back burner, so while I rarely blog about it anymore, I am, in fact, creating all the time.

My newest obsession is eggshell mosaics. I'm a member of the site swap-bot.com and another member there is a big fan of this medium. I kept seeing these beautiful pieces she'd made, and when she set up a swap, complete with a wonderful, detailed tutorial, I knew I had to try my hand at it. Since then, I've decorated magnets, wooden picture frames, and Christmas ornaments using eggshells. For a time, it seemed anything not nailed down in my home got a covering of eggshells.

 

 


These are just a few of the magnet sets I made. The Autumn leaves sets are still available for sale in my Etsy shop.

So, still creating, and after over a year of not working in my art journal, I am starting to dabble again there. Maybe I will even find the time to add to my Fearless Art Journaling series, who knows?

As always, thanks for stopping by, and have an artful day!
