Shattered beauty

Monday, December 19, 2022

I feel hideous.

I was once beautiful, maybe even hot. Now, not so much. A combination of wrinkles (thank you 40), my drastic weight gain, and my constant frown, I could break a mirror. It is not helping this depression, one bit.

Today, I decided to try out my alcohol inks. Holy crap, they have one hell of a strong smell. That being said, they were a lot of fun to work with. Very much reminds me of marble. After it was dry, 10 minutes or so, I used liquid gold leafing to add the gold lines surrounding the borders of the colors.

It’s prettier than I feel.
