I'm committed to not having social media on my phone for mental health but I am disappointed that I can't use all of the functions on Bluesky and Instagram on my laptop. Why? For example I can't see comments on other people's posts here on Bluesky. I can see comments on my posts...

I took selfies with my horses yesterday in the snow. This is me and Mocha. I am thinking about making an art project with the photos. #horse #horseselfie

Look at my beautiful Freyja taking a snooze in the snow. She is an Icelandic horse and genuinely loves the cold.

The illusive double snuggle! Juliet was already stretched out on my legs and I asked my husband to bring Beth to me. She promptly snuggled in too. As you can see by the blanket I am a true cat lady. #cats #catlady #animalcommunicator

My most recent commission, a 10"x10" thread painting. First my client supplies me with a very good photo and I have that printed on cotton twill. Then I stitch all over the image with many colors of thread (over 50 in this one).
I try to capture the essence and personality of my subjects.

Mocha and I have been doing clicker training together. It felt like she was having lots of fun then suddenly she just walked away... to her water! She took a big drink. Took another long drink -thirsty! Then she looked back at me and I invited her to train again and she joined me enthusiastically.

When your ancestors are from Iceland sleeping in the snow feels good. Don't worry, Freyja has access to a cozy bed of shavings in the barn. She is making a choice!

I've been working as an animal communicator for 27 years and several years ago I also started creating portraits of animals. This one is a lovely pet rat named Bratley!

Me: peaking out from under my shell wondering how to get started in this new arena of Bluesky social media! What advice do you have for me?

Hi- I'm and animal communicator and pet portrait artist!

My most recent commission has the green background and the purple is from the past. This perspective can be challenging to recreate from a reference photo but the results are so cute.
