Here's a video of my latest lino block print, "Nightglow", showing off the purple pearlescent dust I applied when the ink was still wet. It was a fun experiment! Though very, very messy haha

Eastern Red Bats & Pokeweed painted with Acrylics and Posca Paint Pens on a gourd with cute little wooden stand! I’m so obsessed with this piece! It’s my first time painting on a gourd too! Shoutout to those who gifted me the gourds in the first place! I have one more gourd to paint for Bat Fest!

Last, but not least, a Hildegarde’s Tomb Bat shimmer magnet! I may end up making a few more magnets before Bat Fest, but hard to say! The festival is really sneaking up on me!

Where do these feelings come from
Fragile and soft like butterfly wings
A surrounding warmth in the cool night air
That whispers of bigger things

"Heart's Light"
