And post your own thoughts, poems etc on your page. And use hashtags # of groups/ subjects that relate to those posts. That way more people will see them. Good luck.

Search for what you’re interested in and passionate about- both individuals and # interest groups. Follow & like/comment on those people/accounts. Look for those taking action and keeping hope. I follow many artists, resisters, science believers, bird people, nature…

I was amazed when I first saw them. Surreal to see that color in a flower! The plants are huge, maybe 8’ or taller. At the bottom are huge very sharp sawlike leaves. Thanks for the repost!

With Akua ink =lots of time to work, cuz it only dries by being absorbed into paper. This link to my website blog shows the same process, but much more complex, inc. multiple layers and tetrapak pieces, done on my printing press, whose name is "Asha." www.anitaheckman.com/post/pisces-...

Thanks! Started w/a drawing on tracing paper, then turned over & have reverse image. Used thick-ish acetate for a plate, rolled blue transparent Akua intaglio ink onto plate; wiped away for waterlilies & textures; brushed on other colors. All on 1 layer: Hand-printed w/ Printing Pin onto Arches 88.

Thanks! Glad you like the print! I completely agree: printmaking and making art in general is healing and gives me the will to carry on and move forward, both for myself and with others.

Stained glass has the effect of transporting a person to another state of mind and being, which is why cathedrals “work” even on people who aren’t religious. I can’t wait to see where this extraordinary creation finds its permanent home (2/2) ✨⚗️🔮
