Rounding the corner on this #embroidery.
I love finding a really good fabric store that also has awesome prices. These are all going to be altar/meditation cloths. ☺️

Applying the skills I learned last weekend in a #portrait art class. I’ve never worked quite like this, with slow layering and white chalk. It’s really interesting. #pencildrawing #pencilsketches #pencilartwork

Starry sky in progress! This is a tricky design to pull off, I hope it turns out well. I like the challenge though. ☺️ #embroidery #embroider

I made myself a bag yesterday to carry notebooks and sketchbooks in. ☺️ I’m not quite at the skill level yet where I will sell things I sew - but maybe eventually!

Sometimes I finish an #embroidery, but then weeks later, it irks me and I just have to go back and figure out what’s not right. That’s what this one is. It’s not quite ready yet, and took some experimentation, but it’s far closer. Sometimes going back to a finished piece is a good thing. ☺️

Sewing a new #embroidery and checking out Side Story of Fox Volant tonight. ☺️ Something not many people know about me is that I LOVE wuxia media (martial arts in ancient China). #wuxia #sidestoryoffoxvolant

It’s pretty cliche to do #sunsets for art, I know. But I really enjoy their complexity and trying to capture them through #embroidery. 🤷🏻♀️💜

Being chronically ill is not lazy.
Resting when your body needs it is not lazy.
Saying “no” is not lazy.
Taking care of yourself is not lazy.
Ableism teaches us to guilt ourselves for respecting our body & its limits. Change the narrative.
Taking care of yourself is powerful.
