Creating Art When You're Sad: Alcohol Inks

⬇️ EXPAND for more info!! ⬇️
Hello, everyone. What do you do when you're sad? How do you deal with grief or pain? Do you use art to help you process things, or to get your emotions out? I do, and that's what we're focusing on today. I found out that my dog Bartles has liver cancer. He is the best dog I've ever had. I used this as an opportunity to work through some of the things I was feeling with this card. I hope you find that this can be a way to help you too.
