generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023
people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

Here’s a little “trust the process” for ya. When I was turning the marten inside/out I just burst out laughing at the worm it was for a while. Yes, these really are the exact same plush 🤣 #plushart #handmadeplush #marten

Bought some baskets to display the mini plushies in at cons. What do you think, is it cute? Would it invite you to have a closer look and maybe adopt a little buddy? ☺️ #plushart #handmadeplush #conlife

Finished 4 little marten plushies for NFC next month. Each is made of the softest fur you can imagine, with embroidered details on minky fabric, and beans in the body for extra floppiness. #marten #pinemarten #handmadeplush #plushart #avanii #mustelid #nfc #nordicfuzzcon

Back to work, and trying to tie up a lot of loose ends. Its amazing how much time gets eaten up by tasks not directly related to art itself; there's book keeping, supply sourcing & ordering, organization, social media/website, convention research/applications, convention set-ups, fulfillment...

After some trial and error I think I like the mini fox now! Next ones will have the feet point outward a little more to aid in balancing, but overall I think it’s cute? What do you think? #plushart #handmadeplush #fox

Some behind the scenes on the mini yellow throated marten plushies. They need a lot of fiddly applique work, but the end result is worth it :D The embroidery sheet always reminds me of a cookie tray!
