a look at my last few days... finally done with prints, onto stickers!!! then t-shirts (and maybe tote bags??) 🫡

here was the setup... it took ~18 minutes per batch of 8 between the prep, drawing, and cutting & i think i printed ~40 cards total? some were lost to misprints or machine error (my cricut sometimes likes to chew on paper, she's a fickle beast)

front and back of my cute little business card :) kind of obsessed with it tbh... it took a surprising amount of trial and error with my cricut for something so small

i'm going to be tabling at the summer bazaar put on by iridescent daydream pdx @ calvary lutheran church in hillsboro on august 9th!!

i'll have t-shirts (ooh ✨), stickers, and prints 🙂‍↕️💖 maybe tote bags if i am bold and brave...

if you're local or close by you should come check it out!!

another abstract print, these ones are from *last* summer (i come back to these like clockwork)

i can't remember if these were of the same rose bush, but they're definitely of plants and there was a TON of movement which i love

these ones look very spacey, night skyish to me 🌌

taken on two separate hot, sunny july days in my backyard ☀️🌿

i always find my way back to abstract cyanotypes bc i find shadows a really interesting medium to work with. these are both prints of the same subject: a rose bush in my backyard. both taken at the same time of day (on different days)

WE DID IT & THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL

printing my own stickers & there is SO much trial and error. pleased w the colors BUT there is some bleeding of the ink which you can rly see in the yellow stickers. my printer is finicky but tomorrow i will fuss w the settings & see what we can do. at least i fixed the tearing issue (mostly)? 😵‍💫

originally shot in february 2022 on an instax mini film camera

an anxious attempt to capture places from my childhood how i remember them before they changed too much

i see a familiar face...

a cyanotype from over the summer. printed on a piece of bee paper company watercolor paper using a negative from paperfulshop (etsy). the chemical at the top was drier/more settled than at the bottom when developed which is what created that gradient :)

been challenging myself to create a finished collage with what i have on hand by the end of an hour. here's today's :) i'll likely end up mailing it to one of my penpals! 🐟🤝🏼
