This two-pack of resin molds is heavy duty and allows for a wide range of DIY projects. Check them out HERE .

These panels are a really great substrate, economical and versatile. They are inexpensive and since they are wood, they are great for mixed media. I add layers and layers of paint and paper and then carve into the paint or sand and scrape. Sometimes I leave the edges as bare wood or I paint them black. You can then add a saw tooth or a wire for easy hanging. No frame needed, although they can be framed if you want that added finished look. They have a thickness of .8 inches. You can shop them HERE.

At .5 inches, these wood panels are a little less deep than the 12x12 panels but they are still made of wood and are incredibly versatile. I like the variety of sizes this pack comes has to offer. Because they are wood, they are a great substrate for all of your mixed media ideas. They are great for paint, collage, pouring, stenciling, scraping, sanding, image transfer and many more. You can shop the HERE.

We have tried many different pigments. Michael uses them in his wood and resin projects and Lainee uses them to paint with, mixing them with various acrylic mediums. Check out their wide range of colors HERE.

The award-winning art historian and founder of Vision & Justice uncovers a pivotal era in the story of race in the United States when Americans came to ignore the truth about the false foundations of the nation’s racial regime.

In a masterpiece of historical detective work, Sarah Lewis exposes one of the most damaging lies in American history. There was a time when Americans were confronted with the fictions shoring up the nation’s racial regime and learned to disregard them. The true significance of this hidden history has gone unseen―until now.

The surprising catalyst occurred in the nineteenth century when the Caucasian War―the fight for independence in the Caucasus that coincided with the end of the US Civil War―revealed the instability of the entire regime of racial domination. Images of the Caucasus region and peoples captivated the American public but also showed that the place from which we derive “Caucasian” for whiteness was not white at all. Cultural and political figures ranging from P. T. Barnum to Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. Du Bois to Woodrow Wilson recognized these fictions and more, exploiting, unmasking, critiquing, or burying them.

To acknowledge the falsehood at the core of racial order proved unthinkable, especially as Jim Crow and segregation took hold. Sight became a form of racial sculpture, vision a knife excising what no longer served the stability of racial hierarchy. That stability was shaped, crucially, by what was left out, what we have been conditioned not to see. Groundbreaking and profoundly resonant, The Unseen Truth shows how visual tactics have long secured our regime of racial hierarchy in spite of its false foundations―and offers a way to begin to dismantle it.
