The #community #weave I did a few months ago has been #donated to its final home at a local #mentalhealth organization. I’m so incredibly grateful to be a part of projects like this. 13 year old me would be so proud. 🥹

Paper on the wall reads “Community Weaves donated by Adirondack Folk School. These community weaves were not done by one hand alone - over 100 individuals contributed to the making of these pieces. Each thread is a different hand, a person, and a story.” The same previous paper next to a colorful weaving of yarn and feathers on a branch The same previous paper next to a colorful weaving of yarn and feathers on a branch

6/8/2025 #poemoftheday the word prompt was “Odd”

#wordoftheday #poem #poetry #creativewriting
A notebook with the following poem and smiley faces drawn beneath There’s comfort in nonconformity; safety in the strange No sense of lonesome lurking, or danger in the deranged I feel my best by the bizarre and folks who may be flawed That’s why I detect no disrespect when others call me Odd I’ve always been an outsider, though never quite alone Yes, even on the outside, I’ve never felt more known For there’s a well of weirdos waiting to welcome you to the squad One filled with freaks and the friendly faces of others who are Odd

I just wanted to show off the skirt I made (with NO pattern!!!) but the church bells in Bravil had other plans.

Did a community #weave at an event today celebrating brain health and mental wellness. Each thread, feather, or fiber represents a person who was willing to learn something new today. A person who may have unseen struggles. These pieces celebrate our differences and show that we are better together.

Any #ornithologists wanna tell me what I saw swoop into a pond and grab a fish today? My guess was an osprey but I am probably wrong 😅

Finished my first #portrait #commission and sent him off to his home 🥰

Painting people is so scary. Painting someone’s CHILD?! Terrifying.

This may be a long shot but I’m an #artist who like a lot of people is falling behind rn. My car REALLY needs an oil change. I just dropped these #stickers last week, if you think they’re rad and have a few bucks to spare it would mean the world. Ships free! 💕
