Moon Dark, art by Amy Crook

I really love how stark and simple this piece is. I was tempted to add more color to it, but in the end I think the copper moon and golden, salt-haoled stars are best on their own. In a simple black frame, it’s really striking, a slice of night for a desk, wall or bedside table.

Here you can see how the salt picked up a tiny bit of the iridescence from the paint, though mostly it sparkles all on its own.
