I plan to wear my Otto the Abominable Snow Dancer costume for some portion of these events, so if you are so inclined, feel free to show up in tutus, yeti / unicorn / mythical creature paraphernalia, glitter, onesies, etc.! (It would make me super happy 🥰🦄✨⛄)

We are THREE WEEKS away from my debut picture book. Here's Part 2 of my Otto the Abominable Snow Dancer costume (the scarf!). This photo was shortly after my husband smacked me in the face. We were going for heroic wind swept vibes and the scarf floating elegantly behind me, but ALAS. #kidlitart

A woman with a yellow and orange scarf trailing behind her bends over in laughter. A hand holds onto the other end of the scarf. The scarf is a chevron pattern with orange fringe Cover for The Abominable Snow Dancer, a picture book by Steph Lau, published by Penguin Workshop

I wish i liked more things so i could enjoy them simply and overlap. I like birds. Drawing birds. Painting birds. Making entire life stories for birds. Watching birds. Watching videos of other peoples birds. Learning about birds at fairs. Looking at bird taxidermy. See? #birds #hobby #life

Sept. 6 is International Vulture Awareness Day! By consuming carcasses, #vultures prevent the spread of deadly diseases. Their bald heads, super-strong stomach acid, and ability to process pathogens--even anthrax--make them perfectly adapted for that essential role.

Went to the Fiber Arts Festival in Salida, CO today. Who knew you could make yarn in so many ways and uhh...smells. The alpacas and sheep made themselves known! 🐑🦙🐐 If you use bird down...is it still a fiber?
