This vid has gone viral on two other social media platforms. It’s evoked a lot of strong feelings & I’ve received a wide range of opinions. It’s been… intense. I’m grateful though, for connecting with so many human souls over the topic of life & death and the gratitude & love we feel about it all.

T-minus 39 days until my publish date and my book hits the shelves. I’m so freakin nervous because… well… BECAUSE!

So after a lot of soul searching, I have decided NOT to travel to the U.S. for book events. My American publisher supports me 100% and so for now, the Canadian distributor (Manda Group) will help me promote my book here in Canada. I’m sad b/c I love my U.S. friends 🙁

Naturally dyed easter eggs using red cabbage, blue spirulina, butterfly pea flower, arbutus bark, onion skins and leaves from my front yard. Each year I improve a little. 🥚🩵🥚🩵🥚

The animals I create in my mixed media collages are inspired by the old jewelry in my collection. I thrift for costume jewelry & old brooches and shiny pretty things. Currently I have a lot of metal bits that look rather medieval. Ravens always want to be the main character in my art! #collage #art

I collect odds & ends and bits & bobs for lighthearted whimsical collages. Usually they try to communicate my reverence for Nature and My love of… Love ❤️#art

I don’t know about you…but when I remember that we are all just trying to survive on this little rock that is hurtling through space at 67,000 mph… well, that freaks me out. Instead of hurting each other, I think we should be holding onto each other for dear life. #love

I had to run away from the news today. I went on one of my favourite hikes.

This tiny sketching set is perfect for carrying in my purse and whipping out on the many ferry rides I take. I’m happiest when my hands are busy being creative. Even if it’s just my hair scrunchie.

Is he just trolling us now? Sorry, NOT sorry but Canadians will never want to be the 51st state. 🇨🇦

Timelapse of extracting seaweed pigment & then washing it. Later, I paint with it.

Update on my recent post about finding a disc golf ‘frisbee’ on the ocean floor. I posted on our local disc golf course page and the owner was found! The Innova disc belongs to a Labrador Retriever named Lucy. Who’s the retriever now? 🙋🏼‍♀️ Happy to help a dog out #discgolf

Green pigment is made from seaweed (sea lettuce). I mix this into watercolours. You can see how the pigment has faded in two years.

My quirk? I’m always looking for meaning or for signs. Things to shake me awake from the mundane.

Yesterday… I had to choose between going snorkelling or… playing in a disc golf tournament. I chose to go snorkelling but can you believe what I found on the ocean floor? A disc golf frisbee! Wth?!

Making watercolour pigment from the bark of the Arbutus (Pacific Madrone). This is a quick painting of my home (painted with the arbutus pigment and a few other homemade botanical paints).

My book had an Amazon best seller label for two whole days!!! I’m glad I took screen shots because it’s slipping back into obscurity! 🤣 Hopefully once it is beyond the preorder stage and actually printed & on the shelves, people will buy it and…. Like it?! (This is scary sh!t).

Ok so it IS happening. My American friends are being locked out of their Tiktok accounts tonight. 😥

Tell me why you love Bluesky. I’m open minded to learning yet another app… but could use a crash course in it. I mean, if anyone sees this! 🤣

Watching all my 🇺🇸 friends say goodbye on Tiktok is surreal. Why do I feel like it won’t go dark? Most of my 363K followers are likely 🇺🇸. It’s been such a roller coaster but it’s led me to friendships and art opportunities. Friends are scrambling to other platforms like this one! 🦋 interesting times

Red Cabbage pigment. Where science meets art. Anthocyanin pigment colours are derived from creating a lake pigment and altered by adjusting the pH.

I’m loving my new mini calligraphy travel set with my own homemade ink. (set made by Blue Star Crafts)
