Finished up my American kestrel piece today ✨

A little work in progress for you 🕊️

Made a ton of fun mystery boxes for my website update on Friday and none sold 🥲 wildfloweroddities.com if you like bugs, bones, and crystals!

I’m so glad you two had fun! Thanks for coming and happy pinning 🦋💛

My first bug pinning class at @paxtongatepdx.bsky.social was sooo fun! @ofmothandflame.bsky.social did an amazing job, not only teaching us the ways of bug preservation, but showed us amazing books to check out and shared so many interesting bug conservation facts. 10/10 would recommend signing up 🦋

The weirdest thing just happened, I was feeling anxious so I scrolled social media and it made me feel…worse?? Anybody else experience this phenomenon???

Valentine’s Day is coming soon, we’re here to help find the perfect gift for your sweetheart or perhaps a treat for yourself? (You deserve it!)
Come check out our jewelry all made by small artists and waiting for its new home ✨

Got my proofs back for the spotted skunk pin and they’re so cute 😭 preorders are now open on my site!
I also ordered a bunch of different charms because I could decide which one I liked best 😅

She’s officially in the gallery’s hands now 🙏🏻
Opening date for Brink is January 30th at Antler Gallery in Portland! Wish her luck 🍀

I’m dropping off a painting for my first ever gallery showing tomorrow and I am both very excited and also filled with dread???

Two new pin designs coming soon! Submitted these yesterday to see some proofs to add to the buggy collection 💛🖤💛

From painting to pin design 🖤🤍🖤
Submitted this yesterday and so excited to get the proof and get the next enamel pin rolling!

Ok so we’re going forward with spotted skunk as the next pin design but now for pose, I’m partial to D because it mimics my painting and that’s how I decide most of my pins but is it too similar to the fox pose?

Obsessed!! I’ve been wanting to get into clay forever, what kind did you use?

Oh hello! So glad to be here 👋🏼

It would be so fun to play with iridescent colors too

Ahhh chickadee is a good thought especially to start really expanding the birds…

Martin would be so good!! Could be so twisty too it would be fun to play with that

Ok so I’m stuck. I cannot decide what the next enamel pin creature should be! I adore my little forest friends and want to add to the ensemble but who? What little critters would you want to see as a pin?
