Good evening, and happy Snow Day!
Oh, wait, I forgot not everyone is in the Midwest. We just got belted by Winter Storm Blair, and Missouri’s in a State of Emergency. So, I don’t have school tomorrow. I’m sure my students are bouncing off the walls.
I’ll post here about the creative process, some books snippets, and life in general. Pretty much, if it’s too long to go on social media, it will be on here. I thought I would post first on how I did my banner graphics for Melusine’s Endgame. Most of them are simply closeups of my own jewelry, and as anyone who knows me well can attest, I’m a bit of a gem dragon. The only ones that are not pieces of mine are ivory (big ick from me…would never own the stuff), and obsidian, since I don’t own any pretty obsidian pieces. Below are the photos I used for Amethyst Mirror. One is the original photo, and the second is the cropped, close-up version. Not bad for someone who’s next to useless with computers!
On a more serious note, stay safe, everyone. The roads are hideous here, and there’s loads of ice under the snow. All four of my greyhounds went on their butts this morning (they’re fine…just the pride got dented).
