This was the year I fell in love with salmon and now have a favorite type, I think I'm one step closer to being allowed to claim the PNW as a home
Every year I design stuff for the @waywardretreats.bsky.social welcome kit, it's one of the top things I look forward to every year. This time around I got to design a bandana, a funeral kit, and a mug. The retreaters are now outside of cell range so I get to post them. 2025 theme: Exquisite Corpse
