I had the pleasure of participating in a friend's artist trading card project! I chose to make my card about exploring new materials and how that can sometimes break us out of creative ruts.

Hourly Comics Day! I completely missed the memo that we now celebrate #hourlycomicsday on Feb 8th, and these were drawn on Feb 1st. Been loving seeing everyone else's comics today. Will post all mine in this thread.

Yess!

Thank you so much!

Whoa love these colors!

I would've loved this fort as a kid!

As someone who is 34 weeks pregnant this is all very relatable 😃

Thanks Mark! ☺️

My piece "Open for Adventure" is currently showing in Fireplace Fables, a show alongside 12 other artists. This piece is made of needle-felted wool and repurposed felt, along with a thrifted Grimm's fairytale storybook, twine and wire. I love to make three-dimensional work whenever I can!
