Spinning wheel buckles into the backseat of a car

Poorly spun white wool on a spinning wheel. It is a first attempt.

I fucking did it.

Just preparing for my post apocalyptic careers. So far my skills involve: Erotic Artist, berry and pumpkin micro farmer, cat rancher, sheep shampooer, cheese distributor, and neighborhood witch.

Two sheep fleece laying on a mat. One brown one white.

Just me and some raw fleece. Fresh off some sheep at the local agricultural college. It’s a smelly dirty job just with 6oz. There is a reason that this process should community activity.

It’s a really pretty spot and my classmates are really cute.

Small historical house. Gray paint with black door

So I am taking a yarn spinning class at an historical woolen mill. One of my ancestor’s houses was moved to the mill site. Should I introduce myself to the ghosts and ask them what they think of my textile penis sculptures?

Look I will haul my carcass to a church tomorrow if something happens. I’ll be very drunk and shaking ass, but I’ll be in attendance.

An abstract collage. Two layers. Brightly watercolors book pages, number stickers and magazine images.

I’ve been collaging after almost a year break. I have been working with some paper scraps, watercolors, crayons, and ink. It doesn’t have to be good. I just have to make something. #art #analogcollage #creative

Black cat sitting in front of a barrel full of purple tulips just about to bloom

Garden supervisor Sir Filbert admiring his work.

Three pieces of artwork featuring crudely painted and colorful vintage Halloween masks. Some have been scored by flames and distressed. They are a witch, a bunny, and a clown.

These pieces found a home. I am relived because the one on the left bites and is a little problem. They are the new owners problem now. No refunds.

A cat poster done in the style of a mid-20th-century communist propaganda poster. A line of three cat faces face left in unison. Below them is a large crowd of cats marching. They represent various kinds of cats, ages, and jobs. The background is a large red flag. Text at bottom reads: The purrletarians have nothing to lose but their collars. They have a world to win. Workers of the world, Unite!"
