i'm in the [REDACTED] like [DATA EXPUNGED]

i'm making fridge magnets using polymer clay wrapped around a base-- i make a different physical art thing for christmas gifts every year!

"let's model and bake twenty fridge magnets tonight, surely i will get done at a reasonable time" (hubris)

Oh, this is very cool! Little bummed I didn't hear about it earlier, but hey, better late then never. I'm already doing my everyday posts, but I'll see if I can throw in little doodles for this.

i make printed/handmade art things for christmas and at one point i was going to make a mug every year until gram politely pointed out that the result would be people drowning in mugs

So I've been trying to put my money where my mouth is over the last few weeks. Chatting with artists on here, going to IRL meetups and fairs (shoutouts to @prfmseattle.bsky.social !), etc. It's been fun, has been very healing, and I've discovered a lot of extremely cool people.

Since graduating, I was burnt out on art for a variety of reasons, but I recently realized that a big contributing factor is that I've been lacking community and belonging since graduation.
