Shattered Joy - Art by Tonya Eisenhauer

Shattered Joy - Art by Tonya Eisenhauer Tonya's handmade artwork transforms broken glass into beautiful original art. Shattered Joy is a strange name, I know. But it fits my journey.

In 2018 my baby sister was murdered. That crazy painful night my my heart was shattered into a million pieces. It felt as if the joy I thought was in my life was snuffed out by the evil act of one man. When people asked us "how are you?" the only answer I knew was "shattered." In August 2020, during Covid-19 cray-cray quarantine, I was looking for a creative outlet, something I could do from home,

obviously. I took my first ever online art class and I learned basic techniques for working with glass, and that was the beginning. As I created, my shattered heart began to heal. God picked up those shattered pieces and began a new thing, a beautiful thing - Shattered Joy! Isaiah 61:3 "Bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness in stead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor."

I don't usually prefer to paint multiple copies of the same piece, but when the client asks I am willing. Will paint flowers in the trees next.

With every project I could futz around forever, but I have to eventually just decide I am done. My mentor says "leave it to the art fairies!"

So, resin has been applied and the art fairies are now in charge.

BTW the netting, which is actually an outdoor food/picnic cover, is to hopefully protect it from the pet fur that is in abundance in my house.

I'm so happy to be painting again. I've been in a funk since the store where I showed my work closed.

But today...maybe the creative drought is finally over.

Let's get creative together! The pic below is for you. Print it and fill in one ray of sunshine each day with something you cannot imagine living without. Use crayons, pencils, paint, magazine cutouts, even journal a little in each section, whatever you want. My first day is in the comments. Post your progress in the comments and encourage each other to get creative (and grateful) this month.

Experimenting for an order I need to finish. I've learned a few things.

1) The coaster molds need approximately 1 oz of resin each - depending on how many decorative items are added
2) Scrabble tiles are lighter than resin, they are floating.
3) The tiny plastic beads want to go under the tiles along with the resin.

Working on solutions.
