where should I start?! It was hard enough to narrow it down to these choices #booksky #booktok #tbr #currentlyreading #amreading

bought this needlework printed pattern last year of navy pier and am finally sitting down to start it…hopefully cross stitching is appropriate, as it’s the only needlework I know…🙈 gonna put on a video essay on Appalachian mysteries while I work #cozyhobbies #crossstitch #needlework #embroidery

#gouache painting of the week, rich in vitamin C #artsky #smallartist #painting #gouachepainting

I am having such art fails this week, my gouache painting did not turn out right (lost cause at this point) and I tried the same subject again in prismacolors and same thing. Do I try one more time with yet another medium or just move on to a different subject? 🤔

just started my own #stampjournal! having a stamp journal already feels like such a mindful practice, turning what could just be trash into little treasures #scrapbooking #junkjournal #cozyhobby

perhaps throwing a novella into my towering #currentlyreading lineup? #amreading #booksky

I bought a lovely hardcover of this at an indie bookstore a while back and still haven’t read it!! I need to change that

Doppelganger was one of my favorite reads last year!

Come get your vitamin C! New artist trading cards #artisttradingcard #aceo #atc #artsky #smallartist

truly, this book should be REQUIRED reading for everyone in the West. a tough read but an important one #amreading #currentlyreading #booksky #books

#currentlyreading #amreading “Love Machines,” a book about how AI chatbots are changing relationships, and it’s absolutely FASCINATING (and terrifying, and sad). HIGHLY recommend #booksky

I’ve gotta start making more artist trading cards…people are sharing amazing work and I have very little to offer for trade at the moment! #atc #aceo 🥲

Great selections!!

after a few weeks of focusing on my foray into the artist trading card community (which has been SO much fun), tonight I’m settling into a larger scale gouache painting, just for my own enrichment 🎨

set out to play around with some collaging, ended up making two somewhat sinister ones 👻 #collage #analogcollage #artsky #atc #aceo #artisttradingcard

#atc #artisttradingcard #aceo #artsky continuing to experiment with 3D elements in my cards! tying that little ribbon with embroidery floss was a pain 🥲

Saturday reading check!

My current reads:
Murder Bimbo: 60%
Homegoing: 25%
Mailman: 15%

Quite an eclectic mix at the moment! #currentlyreading #amreading #booksky

Have just done the most improbable thing and looked for a film to watch on my Letterboxd watchlist.

Screenshot from Storygraph showing that I am reading six different books right now

“Would you say focusing is a strength of yours?”

Ahhh

thank you!

Mothman’s got a crush! #artisttradingcard #atc #aceo #cryptids #artsky

me repeatedly checking for the “out for delivery” status on my new posca markers to update to “delivered”

I ordered my first ever set of posca markers for half price and they’re out for delivery…this is what self care and self love means #artsky
