'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Man, 2022 was a blur. I barely even remember painting this one. She's probably not going to be a part of the oracle deck, because idk if she's really a nature spirit & that's kind of the entire theme. Still pretty though.

"Death". A dead woman lying on the forest floor in autumn, as mushrooms grow as a crown on her head. Watercolor and colored pencil.

I draw nymphs a lot, but usually not in a seductive way. My nymphs are like "I'm just trying to sing a song with my friends, IN MY OWN HOME." They don't understand why men keep showing up & assuming it's for them.

Ink drawing of 3 nymphs in a pond looking at you with distaste.

This is one of my favorite paintings and it currently doesnt exsist on the internet. Its in a private collection so you cant see it in a museum and its impossible to get a print of. Ive had it saved to my phone for years from the original French auction site listing that no longer exists.

I drew so much as a kid my parents couldn’t buy lots of sketchbooks so they’d just get me packs of printer paper. Sometimes they’d get dot matrix paper and I’d use it to make really long scenes and comics. Limitations can lead to more creativity so just use whatever is available to you!

This is all you need ☆彡 You can even make your own sketchbook with a pack of cheap printer paper and binder to save more money.
