Ah, Australia in summer. The sky is a washed-out, ashy grey, and the air smells of smoke. Humidity is near 60% after yesterday's thunderstorm, and fire-engine sirens wail in the distance. The closest front is 6km away, but the wind is blowing away from us for now. #currentlysafe #Australiangothic

Painting of a skull with Billy Buttons flowers in a mini ornate gold frame

Small painting of a skull with Billy Buttons flowers in an ornate gold frame being held by the artist

Hopefully the second photo gives an idea of the size 😊
