Just a quick study. The current contents of my dining room table fruit bowl. I’m slowly finding my way back to creating.
Done with @ittaimanero.bsky.social’s soft pastel medium brush.

I thought that this administration was ran on a pledge for peace, and saving money. Bombing Iran will do neither of these things. Another war in the Middle East in my lifetime. God forgive us.

Thank you! I put little beads in the center of the flowers. I'm currently working on a stitch chart

Embroidery has consumed a good chunk of my life. It's something that I can really escape into.
Hope that all of you are surviving, and finding ways to escape the madness, just for the little bit.
I am going to draw something in the coming weeks. It's been too long.
