🎉🎉🎉 Well sometimes life with a senior pup gets in the way of the best laid plans 😂 but I did want to share a little something I’ve been working on behind the scenes. 😉 It’s not quite ready for a Small Business Saturday launch as I had hoped but it’s getting there! I’ve been working on my first collection of alcohol ink art and resin pieces (small art pieces, coasters, magnets, pendants, and more) and hope to make them available for purchase very soon! I’ll also have a limited number of custom commissions available at launch! ❤️ Thanks to all my crafty friends for their encouragement to put myself out there and I can’t wait to share more with you VERY soon! 😉 For more info on my launch and some sneak peeks head over and follow my new account @artbyjfb! ❤️❤️❤️ ••• #alcoholink #alcoholinkart #alcoholinkartist #resinart #resinartist #fluidart #abstractartdaily #allthesparklejfb #smallbusinesssaturday #geodecoasters
