\"\"<\/a>This new work by Monika Duchowicz is not so much shiny, like Monday’s post, but it is certainly striking.<\/p>\n

You may have had your first in-depth introduction to Monika’s work in our Summer 2017 ‘Color’ issue<\/a>. Her tutorial on painting with polymer for journal covers is truly amazing. She is still painting polymer covers but this piece moves out in a somewhat new direction being that this is more constructed than painted.<\/p>\n

She also found a beautiful journal to put it on. It is a very Gothic and dreamlike combination of her composition and the journal cover’s spine and back.\u00a0She describes the bird as a Phoenix although she notes that this is not a typical Phoenix with the all-white plumage and only fiery colors inserted into the background.\u00a0And why not? We can make our own versions of any myth.<\/p>\n

She posted several different views of this journal which you can see on her Instagram page<\/a>. Also take a look at her work in her Etsy shop<\/a>.<\/p>\n
