This is Pandora opening her box for 2021...since she already unleashed all the bad stuff on 2020, her discovery this time is "hope". I made the bg by ink smooshing various DO inks and then sponging to blend the colors more. I drew the box and painted with watercolors and topped it off with some sparkly gold watercolors. The inside word was made using a toothpick and some versamark reinker to write the word hope which I embossed in copper. Let's hope her "hope" prediction is right for 2021.
I see the photo doesn't pick up the copper stickles on her wings...oh well, whoever gets this will see it!

What a wonderfully atmospheric background, Polly, with a cloud going over the moon and the glow of light around that box of hope. Love all the Liquid Pearl details. And wow on writing and embossing with a toothpick!

Beautiful sky and I love the glow emanating from the box. Kudos on drawing and on using the toothpick to emboss Hope. A cool trick I need to remember. Pandora is the perfect metaphor for both 2020 and 2021 and I hope your message of HOPE rings loudly and spreads quickly. Happy New Year.
