Prosperity was a bit of a different piece for me. I thought it would be my last in my current home as I am moving soon. ( I ended up creating 1 more anyways but didn’t decide on the other piece until long after I finished. ) I didn’t sketch this 1 out or really have a vision for it. I just knew I wanted to try out a mixed media texture of glass and a druzy technique. I bought this beautiful quartz cluster I wanted to use. I wanted glitter & sparkle so I picked out a few complementary colors & I just poured and poured & let everything come together. It felt good! I didn’t anticipate so much gold either but love ALL of it!
I chose the name Prosperity, because something about the color gold to me represents wealth and hope depending on the context and materials it’s used in/with. The last few months of my life have been a rollercoaster of emotions anger, sadness, disappointment, grief, sadness & brief moments of happiness. I’ve been praying a lot thanking God for life. Asking mostly for protection, strength & guidance but also for prosperity in my business. When I stepped back and looked at this piece completed it looked prosperous & with all the gold the name prosperity just came to mind & stuck.
I feel like I say this all the time but it is true. I don’t know where I would be without resin. Since starting I see a different side of myself that I enjoy. A lot of the time I feel like I am living a life with no purpose. Resin gives me a break from those thoughts and feelings like I actually have something to look forward to in my day. The endless amount of ideas & possibilities creating is my favorite. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of resin or creating I have so much more to offer and share!
