Just got back from my annual solo camping trip and this might have been the best one yet!
🖌️ I let my creativity flow... writing and making art.
💪 I feel powerful... building fires, being in the woods alone at night.
😴 I get true rest... taking naps, relaxing in the sun.
Nothing heals like nature 💚

I made this graphic for the article I published in Forbes about companies pulling back from their performative Pride displays.
These are just 10 of the 100s of companies that stopped waving rainbows & sponsoring Pride events when political pressure scared them off.

When the world is in flames… make art. It’s fine.
I’ll be showing this piece in the Basecamp Studios Itty Bitty art show, where all the art is <6”. Opening tomorrow night at the Belltown art walk… come by if you’re in Seattle!

Well, here’s the silliest press I’ve ever been in… while looking through Qwoted media queries for work, I responded to a call for women who like weed 😂

Seattle friends, are you around Saturday night?
As part of the Ballard Art Walk, my husband's vintage furniture gallery, Sparklebarn, is throwing an opening party for a new collection of food-themed art. I made a couple of pieces that are included in it too 🍔🍝
You should come by!

Seattle friends, you should come to this art opening at Sparklebarn during the Ballard Art Walk next Saturday the 12th.
I have a piece being shown in it, and there will be rad art and music all around!

I’m surprised Meta would want to unethically train their LLM with Blaze Your Own Trail… it’s severely lacking in masculine energy! 🫠

Last year I made & installed a Craft Exchange in front of my house. It’s been so awesome to see the creativity of my neighborhood flow through it 💕
I shared more about it on the @glowforge.bsky.social blog!

The Moisture Festival is one of my favorite things about Seattle ❤️
Arlo and I have gone together every year since he was a baby, and it never disappoints!
Godfrey Daniels (seen here in paper cutout form) is always his favorite 🎈

All these notifications about my anniversary with Berrett-Koehler Publishers reminded me: it’s been 5 years since my book was published!
It was a weird book launch for 2 reasons:

I was getting ready to hang an American flag in our manufacturing facility today, for a “Made in the USA” photo shoot (more on that soon… very cool stuff to share!) & decided to make these signs to hang with it (on my Glowforge, of course!)
Because the MAGA crowd doesn’t get to co-opt patriotism.
