In part 1 of this video, I share my love of creating abstract florals on black toned paper, in the form of mixed media art. I share a few collections of my work where I used acrylic paint pens, and paint, as well as , glass cabochon charms and embroidery.

One collection was called "Skeletons in My Closet", and the other "Finding Frida One Stitch at a Time".

I share some tips and tricks about painting with acrylic paint pens on the toned paper, as well, I share different brands of grey, tan and black mixed media paper.
