Creating Ephemera Clusters

 Hello creative friends.  I hope everyone is doing well.  I've been doing my best with everything that has been going on.  Without going into too much, I was laid off from my job last March and a year and a half later still unable to find another job, so just trying to figure it all out.  Anyway, I've decided that I need to focus more on my art and just let the chips fall where they may.  One of the things I feel I needed to do is refill my stash of ephemera for using in journals, art journal pages and mixed media art.  So I will be working on several things to do just that.  So to start with I wanted to make some clusters that could be used in journals and other artwork, but I also wanted to create the focal images and other pieces to making the clusters with.  So I used watercolors to paint different shapes and cut them out.  Then I dug into my scraps for additional papers to use in making the clusters.  Here is a picture of the clusters I made:


You can check out the video on my YouTube Channel to see how I made these here:


I really am happy with this little stash of clusters and can't wait to use them.  Thank you for stopping by and I hope you make something creative today that makes you happy as well.  Happy Creating.  Take care.
