I'm an artist. I work in oils, acrylics, textiles, wood, ad infinitum. I love books, Tarot, listening to scary stories, and unsolved mysteries. I enjoy learning about nature, ancient cultures, and spiritualism.

No DMs unless I know ya✌️
I woke up with "Every Little Kiss" playing in my head. According to the weather, this evening I'll be listening to the mandolin rain.

I've been restocking for the coming Farmer's Market season & am adding some new items. This is my colored pencil drawing of a sweet barn owl, on shrink plastic. I attached a really strong magnet on the back!

Onyx is hungry. He's considering eating my fingers.

Is your kitty a Maine Coon? I lost my best buddy, Buzz, last year. Someday I'd like to have another kitty that looks like him. He wasn't a Maine Coon, but he was a big boy.

Mr. Tripp is very content this morning. He hopes your Saturday is just as peaceful & full of quiet joy. (or LOUD joy, if that's what you're looking for today)

A good morning to you! This is Miss Mae, our eldest kitty. She loves every person she meets, enjoys rides in strollers, and keeps our other cats in line.

Mr. Tripp is just as unimpressed with this weather, as I am. A gorgeous 80 degrees on Friday, 2 inches of snow on Sunday. I might climb right back into that hospital bed with him. 🥶

Today I started my first weaving work in months. A little embroidery floss landscape, woven on a little 4x4 inch, homemade loom. Still needs finishing. Can you tell I'm ready for the warmer, lush days of spring?

Mr. Tripp hopes you all remember to take a little time for yourself today. Even if it's just enjoying a moment of sunshine, or a soft, fuzzy blanket.

This is Tiny, enjoying an afternoon nap with my daughter's dog, Temperance. We hope you're feeling better!

She's beautiful. Reminds me of Jane Wyatt. She played Spock's mother on the original Star Trek series, among many other roles.

I opened the kitchen window and petted my horse, Dancer, for the first time since the crash. She talked to me while I fed her grapes. I've missed her so much!

This is Dancer with her goat children, August & Kieran (the photo bomber).

Tiny & Onyx - Orphaned brothers I raised. Now they're big, sweet fluff-balls!

I did my first (imo) good sketch since the crash. Decided to run with it. So I transferred it to a #Speedball speedy cut carving block. Then I gave him a name, carved into erasers. "Happy Roo"

I work in a variety of mediums. Just getting back to creating after a devistating car wreck.

Work from over the last few weeks. All made while stuck in my hospital bed. Glad to be able to get into the wheelchair a lot more this week!

My big bottle baby, Onyx, joined me on the hospital bed while I gave my arm a rest from the splint.
