Hi I’m Rachel (or “Nyc”). I am always trying new things. I don’t sell anything, so I don’t know where to go with this intro post. I just gather weird knowledge, and make whimsical doodles. ✨
A steampunk dragon made of polymer clay looks left, standing on a mission style table top with leaded glass inlay. A bunch of samples of ink made from crushed buckthorn berries and then altered by changing the ph to change the ink color. A page of watercolor swatches with naturalistic doodles on top. A rough pencil sketch of a baby scientist that seems to have tentacles. One is holding a test tube.

Oh sheesh my good multitool was in the bottom - and a second blade I forgot I was missing.
This just goes to show something probably.
Too many multi tools for one “dress purse”

Was going to use this little leather purse as I try to clean up for a wedding, and it had a leech in the bottom ☝️

A cat… topus? A steampunk dragon person. Or maybe a dragon in steampunk clothes.

Workshopping her next diss track

#Hades2
Fanart of Scylla from Hades 2 dressed in a casual blue and yellow puffy jacket with Chronos' symbol on the shoulder, a grey crop top and grey pants, with her head tentacles tied back in a loose messy ponytail. She is wearing big round reading glasses and is holding a notepad in one hand, looking at it in mild frustration, while loosely chomping the end of a pencil hanging from the corner of her mouth. Her other hand is tucked away in the pocket of the jacket. There are some random bubbles hanging around her.
