Went on a tour of the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center in Scottsdale! I had to sketch quickly because we kept moving! #usk #urbansketching #conservation

I #embroidered a plain canvas bag to make an #rpg kit for my PC Ned/Cosmo, a well meaning but generally incompetent druid that's obsessed with the meteor in #dungeonsofdrakkenheim. I made the #ogham staves back in the day, and it's super fun to use them in role play!

My last #cosplay for the weekend! I just love being #GideontheNinth. Ran into another Gideon that gave me a bracelet (with curse words of course 😂). It was so sweet! (Alas, I also lost my skull somewhere on the convention floor! 😭)

Timed #sketches at #PhoenixFanFusion! They had a fun event where cosplayers modeled and anybody could come and sketch them with timed intervals. #cosplay #watercolor

Look at these amazing illustrations from @hemask.bsky.social! A most amazing artist at Phoenix Fan Fusion! I just kept picking up thing after thing (not in the photo is the pencil bag and Raven trinket pin!).

Phoenix Fan Fusion fun as Tippi Hedren from The Birds. Absolutely shocked how many people recognized me and came up to talk to me about the movie. Even young folks - gives me hope that the next gens are watching great movies

Even though there are no pets in this sketch, I see them. I see Jackie on her little footstool looking out the window, and Bowie waiting for me to grab his leash for a walk. #urbansketching #watercolor #sketch #pets

Another #boardgame day! This time #Ethnos was my fave, but I really liked the sounds and tactile feels of Seaside.

OMG everything IS tuberculosis! This is a must read for everyone. It's good for your brain, it's good for your heart, and it's just so, so good.

It's so weird to have a new #watercolor set! I don't know these colors! I don't know their personalities or quirks! Painting with them is like going on a first date or something. (But way more fun than that!)

Board game day! I really enjoyed Shadow Hunters as a social deduction game because you don't have to bluff, it's more strategy and quiet interactions. #boardgames

Haha just started doing this myself! It's very awkward 🤪, but it also helps me find stuff in my notes way easier! Didn't expect a functional use as well as an enjoyable fun one!

Needed a transition out of my #wfh day, so I jumped on @scistarter.bsky.social and watched a flower for 5 min for The Great Sunflower Project. Mindfulness + #citizenscience! ♥️🌻

Just finished this! Such a sweet, weird love story between nature and tech. I got a bit lost in the third quarter, but it wrapped up very cool. Loved the main characters.

This book was about a pirate and a woman (same person), and it felt so real. It straddled the world of piracy in such an honest and human way. Thank you @rchetypes.bsky.social!

Realized that stuff that was annoying me for always being in the way was actually just being put it in the wrong spot! (I'm sure there's a lesson in there.) Anyway, 5 min #diy project!
