This took me an age to create digitally - or so I thought until my niece who is an assemblage artist told me that, starting with a vintage apothecary's cabinet, she estimates it will take her at least a year to fill with hand made metal and fabric items.

Evidence By Susan McCarrell

We're rolling full steam into the dreariest month of the year, and now's the time to arm yourself with one of the best weapons against SAD there is: Consistent exposure to art, literature, music and other cultural endeavors.
