This is my first collaboration, and it was such a pleasure to use pieces from Jodi Lynn Pottery. The ceramic pieces (the person figure and hearts) are her work. I highly recommend that you check out her work at Charlotte Art League or on her website.
The background is multiple layers of acrylic paint, applied with a palette knife and made to look aged.
The glittery looking particles are gold mica flakes. These flakes are unique metallic flakes derived from a group of minerals known as mica. They provide a natural metallic luster.
I love this moving quote by Amanda Gorman who is Harvard educated, and the first person to be named National Youth Poet Laureate.
