#peachtober25 Day 2 - Kite 🪁

I’ve had this spesh piece (and a handful of others) of “Dodgy Paper” waiting for the perfect use, and I thought this was it!
It’s been a long time between collage seshs (but it used to be my main go to for illustration circa 2009-12 ish)!
A snippet of a collage illustration on a blue and white circular piece of textured handmade paper with a green hill with a femme character with long red hair and a green and red striped dress sitting on it flying a red kite with red bows trailing behind. It’s sitting on a green gridded cutting mat with some out of focus paint brushes, paper scraps and an ink bottle in the background a collage illustration on a blue and white circular piece of textured handmade paper with a green hill with a femme character with long red hair and a green and red striped dress sitting on it flying a red kite with red bows trailing behind.

New earrings! These will be landing in my shop this Saturday August 30 along with 4 to their new designs and a restock! 🤩🌼✨
a photo of a pair of daisy earrings with little faces and a dangling green stem with leaves is being held up by a white hand on a black earring hanger illuminated by sunlight with a dark, barely visible room behind. The earrings both have happy faces, one is looking to the side and one has its eyes closed.

This is “Subterranean Isopod”!

Would love to see you there if you’re local! ♥️

It has strange purple sparkling eyes and is wearing 10 pairs of hard, sculpted, slightly-heeled sparkling blue/black boots.

A take that literally nobody cares about:
I wish you could have a “favourites” emoji section instead of a “frequently used”. The latter is populated by your LAST USED emojis and if I go on a crazy emoji tangent for one comment 🥝💫🪨💥 my most used faves have been rudely ejected for these freeloaders

Ok I feel like the explanation post of what this is for kind of ruined the perfection of this little guy so here they are alone 💝
A slightly side on photo of a handmade felt soft sculpture art doll in light pink, teal and cream. It has a round head with leaves on top and a pink berry/flower in the centre, a cream face patch with beaded eyes and mouth and rosy cheeks. It has a short straight body ending in 4 separate chunky tentacle legs that are alternating pink and teal with alternating opposite either pink or teal embroidered bead tentacle suckers.
