#scribesandmakers 14. How are things going for you this month, creatively or otherwise?
Creatively, it's going ok. I'm continuing to do my 100-Day Stitch Book and it's going by quickly. Today is day 30 already. This week I've been stitching a cartoon character you can see @Nisaa@metapixl.com

#scribesandmakers 13. How well do you sing? If you don't consider yourself a good singer, do you sing anyway?
I sing ok but mostly when others aren't around. I wanted to major in music in college because I loved singing in chorus. My father said he wouldn't pay for me to do that so I chose […]

#scribesandmakers 11. Aside from the official birthday song and the ubiquitous Beatles song, is there a song about birthdays you like?
Birthday by The Sugarcubes. It has a lot of imagery in it that I like. I don’t understand all of it. My 50th birthday was in 2020 so my grand plans became a zoom […]

#scribesandmakers 10. What is the most out of character creative thing you enjoy? That thing that never matches the assumptions about you.
This question is stumping me. Maybe pebble mosaics? I haven’t done them in a while but I have enjoyed them and want to do more.

Not really. I treasure having a few mornings a week to myself. I often seek time alone rather than get lonely.

#scribesandmakers 8. How do you define a book? Do audio books and graphic novels fit your definition?
A book is something I read with my eyes or ears and generally has some kind of cover art. Yes, audiobooks and graphic novels count. I listen to audiobooks in the car and when I go for walks. I […]

I love your art and I need to get a digital version of your Esther & Érié chapters, mais je n'ai pas décidé entre français ou anglais. (My French is a little rusty.)
My question: has anyone cosplayed your characters yet?

Well, it had to happen at some point. Someone commented on my Fuck ICE embroidery: "Ice is great faggot, stay cool". I deleted the comment but I feel a bit sick to my stomach now. I'll keep making the art I want to see in the world. https://metapixl.com/p/Nisaa/923055639381270715

Day 15. Inspired by posters at an uprising I went to today. Abolish Ice. No Ice. You get the gist. I think the “o”s and “s”s were inspired by stitches I did on the “I did not vote for a convicted felon and rapist” ornament (by Smallwood studios) in 2024. And just like that, page 3 is done. #100DayStitchBook #100DayStitchBook2026 #AnnWood #StitchBookChallenge2026 #Embroidery #FediArt

#scribesandmakers Our featured creator makes graphic novels. As a reader, which do you think is more important in a graphic novel, art or words?
I have to say it's both. But it's a graphic novel to highlight the art, right? The art draws me in but the story keeps me reading.

Sometimes I offer prints from my most recent photo trip as birthday presents. And if it lines up, I'll take photos on their birthday with them in mind.
