Please welcome to the world, Shoeburt, the shoe #monster. They took a couple of days to warm up to me before telling me their name. Turns out they were made this way because, why not?

Made the doll from the “Issue” album by Korn for a gift. Any #NeedleFelting artists have any advice on securing a key chain on this little buddy?

One year ago, today, we were in Thailand. I still think about Chiang Mai everyday since.

Just finished my first real #needlefelting project outside of a kit. I had a lot of fun making this. I’m excited to poke around some more ideas and see what come to fruition! 🕷️💀

Part 3-Working title. 👁️🔥🤘Oil on #canvas. I have mixed emotions about this painting. It is a part of a series from when I first started #painting in acrylics. I have since taken them off my wall, and this one currently hides in a corner.

Went to Denny Blaine park to sun bathe and was gifted a small baggie of buds🔥. I was informed that it could have been left by a Gnome from one of the neighboring parks. So I painted this in its honor! Thanks weed Gnome!
