curiosity made me draw a cat
did you know that white-tailed jackrabbits have the highest vertical leap of any land mammal?

side note, these guys are technically hares! hares are usually larger, a bit more solitary, and are characterized by the big ol legs. 🦵 🐇

oooh great tip from the comments ❤️❤️❤️
Smaller amounts can also be made in the microwave oven in a big glass/suitable bowl. Bowl needs to be big because it boils up quickly. Time varies with amount/freshness. Keep in fridge once bottled in clean jar with lid. Same proportions as your recipe.

if anyone guessed raspberry jam, you’d be correct!

learn how to make some great jam and chat about illustrator consistency with me :)

i love all the little butterflies!

really enjoying this style where the outlines don’t follow the fill 🫶
Winston isn’t too sure about all those butterflies. Then, the flowers…achoo! Maybe meadows aren’t for him?? #martch25 #art #illustration #catart #martch @elizahowdy.bsky.social

so cool!

totally understand how you won blue ribbons for these!
#mARTch25 day 25- Basket These are both twined in the tradition of most of the Eastern Woodland peoples from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. These won me back-to-back blue ribbons at the Virginia State Fair in the Miniature Basketry division. Unfortunately, none of the other divisions permit twining.

#mARTch25 day 23: puffin

A watercolor in my sketch book inspired by @carlbovisnature.bsky.social who does many many amazing photos of puffins!! (I hope he doesn't mind being inspiring. And if you don't follow him, you should!!)

lumpy or not, i actually LOVE the texture that comes through on this!

amazing #mARTch25 mug!
#mARTch25 day 21: mug.
@museumlara1.bsky.social convinced me to try pottery (other than historic replicas) again after a decades-long hiatus. This mug was one of my first projects. It’s lumpy, the bottom isn’t well attached, and the glaze didn’t come out like I thought. But it’s mine. And it works.

wow beautiful!!

catching up on #mARTch25 mugs!
