I've been making these felt cats and little scenes to put them in this year. Mostly been posting it on my Instagram (hockenbear). Trying to do more on here but still getting back into posting. I quit Twitter quite awhile ago cause I hated it so trying to dip back into something like it is weird.

Impeding
Long haired black cat laying on his back with his eyes wide open probably looking at ceiling ghosts. A little bit of his fangs are peeking out. He's on a desk, with his head resting on some green fabric that needs to be added to the fabric on the left but that will need to wait until the ceiling ghost have been thoroughly viewed.

As we wrap up 2025 how about a 2026 postcard calendar to keep in touch with friends via letter.

The art each month turns into a postcard with a bonus mini art that matches the month's art.

I have a photo in this exhibit! (A dead warbler on the sidewalk in DC, from volunteering with Lights Out DC. Amazing creatures die because people don't know about the problem, or can't be bothered to fix it. Nature makes life better. Fixing where we've erred is essential.)

The Natural History Museum at the Smithsonian has a light pollution exhibit. I hope to inspire you to make changes to your properties with their information.
