A black cat blessed my porch yesterday. 🖤 It rained over my place finally, and my allergies with be relieved for a little while. Thank you kitty.
She was obviously someone’s pet. I hope to see her again, but I get sad because I can’t have a cat of my own (husband has a legit phobia).

My first grade teacher would send my drawings and coloring pages back and say “Spend more time on this. You can do better.” I didn’t know why. I thought they were ok.
So many little things making sense now after learning about my Autism and non/verbal learning difficulties. I tested very poorly

I started a sketchbook for comfort zone ink drawings, because art shouldn’t be hard all the time.
I worked so hard to learn to draw and to sit still at times and enjoy the positive results of my effort is a courtesy I owe to myself.

Small ink drawing from 2020 that I still like.
I would like to make larger ones now that I have a healthy amount of liquid ink and money to replenish supplies

Denise, a harpy from a fantasy/horror story of mine. I would like to write it, but that is a skill I don’t have. Writing interesting blurbs is one thing, crafting a story is another.

I want to design home decor collections (pillow cases, blankets, fiber sculptures, and wall art), for fun. I’m really inspired, but of course, I need to get better and learn a LOT. So I started doing random swatches to build up a stitch library. Source: Complete Book of Crochet stitch Designs

“Floracosm” is a loose collection of stories about a young woman who inherits the nightmares of her dead aunt. Eventually she is led to a beautiful garden whose sky is forever starry, and she may have accidentally brought others to the garden too. Spoiler: garden is haunted.

Finally, I like making art again. Only took retirement from freelancing and a year off from social media. :/
But I like it enough that it’s helping me find purpose again, and I look forward to starting every drawing.

Working on a #drawing that I hope to actually finish. I’ll post updates in this thread.
First layer is always fun. It’s like a puzzle and in the beginning the big pieces stand out, but as the drawing progresses, it’s easy to lose the focal point, thus second layer is harder

An older botanical piece in pencil.
The big, local juried exhibition deadline is coming up and I’m thinking of submitting work. Not this one, but something.

Needed lots of rest this past week, but back at it today with some yarn swatch making and paper prepping. How exciting 😑
