Researcher, hobby collector, sometimes draws things, sometimes paints things, eats a lot of chocolate

Hi :)
Pinned
I should probably introduce myself...
Saphira is the name I pretend I have 😅
I'm a bioscience researcher specialising in electron microscopy 🔬

Outside work I apparently enjoy collecting a new hobby every month, I paint, draw, crochet, stream etc. Now also a kitty foster mum 😺 so expect cat pics
No cheating, post your lock screen!

This chaotic gremlin is Rocco, looking delighted after stealing my breakfast. He's my current foster kitty but may become a foster fail! Love him

Hi Bluesky! I desperately need to fold you into my regular routine 😂 I've spent this morning doing admin (how exciting), and have an open post showing all of my newly listed left-over Kickstarter prints!

Flying to 'murica tomorrow for a conference, wish I could say I'm excited but I'm just terrified 😅

I doubt anyone will see this but let's try some positivity 😅

1 like = 1 thing I love
Yeah, this definitely seems like an exercise my therapist would approve of to balance all the doom in my mind, so hit me.

1 like = 1 thing I love (with pictures if possible)
Okay this seems like a wholesome way to ground myself rn

Oh hi bluesky, yes I'm alive! And upon request from my chat, I'm doing a pre-order of this plague doctor painting that I finished on stream!

Limited run, £15 free worldwide postage while in pre-order stage, signed and slightly foiled!

It's going to be difficult letting this boy go to another home... May be a foster fail 😅

My first foster of the year! This is Rocco, an Abyssinian rescued from a vet that wanted to put him to sleep.

He is an absolute cuddle bug and just wants cuddles all day long

I'm not great at sticking to goals but this year I need to cook more, create more, spend less (things don't bring me happiness), socialise more.

First day in and I'm already struggling to find joy in anything I do.
How does happiness work? 🤔

I'm glad I don't remember my dreams often, they're pretty messed up...

Did a little New Vegas ED-E sketch to mark the end of my first playthrough. Despite trying to do everything, there's still stuff I missed in the game. Thoroughly enjoyed playing!

Can I skip the practice part and get to the part where I'm actually good at art? 😅

Just changed my settings to remind me to add alt text to posts, I have such terrible memory 😥

Sometimes I paint things, very slowly... Only took a couple of months to finish part of my sketchbooks first page 😂
