Hi! I'm Sophie :) I'm Mexican-American, from Texas, and currently living in Ontario. I made all these headpieces/crowns and also did all the makeup. I hope to expand my skills and share them with you ~

Husband potential.
I know the ghost of Christmas Future is always a guy in a cloak, but, hear me put, what if he was a dude with a gravestone for a head that speaks through the engraving on his own face?

I keep scheduling what I think are my best works on weekdays when my IG followers are more likely to be on, but it seems like people are way more active on here during the weekend? 🤔

Some late night Christmas card making

Watercolours …. I don’t recall the last time I used them. Probably at school. I’m enjoying painting with them

This Catrina was done in honor of Winter, but it was also an experiment. There are techniques here I wanted to try - primarily the teeth - and while I wish I hadn't gotten lazy in the end, I do like it overall! I also made the headpiece. #ArtAdventCalendar

Trees
Sterling silver contemporary trees pendants and earrings, with keum boo guilded tree tops and finished with moissanite.

Work in progress pic because I never managed to get a finished photo of them before they sold.

Today for #ArtAdventCalendar I'm posting a necklace I made as an experiment. I'm considering making more to sell, rent, or just wear for fun, but I haven't quite decided yet.

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.

Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.

A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Dee Dee Dee! Black-capped Chickadees stay with us all year round, and don’t seem to care about the cold at all. This little one was busy foraging in the frosty trees!

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves

Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars

Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

1980s: “We think this heavy metal group is hiding garbled messages backward in their music. Better convene a congressional hearing.”

2020s: “This company’s chatbot is straight up encouraging teens to off themselves. We better give them billions of taxpayer dollars.”
