Lil intro ~ I am an artist and librarian living in Asheville 🐯🩷 my medium of choice is relief printmaking (linocut, letterpress, monoprints, stamps) but I’m also into sewing, digital art, crochet, bookbinding, zines, and pottery
here’s a sampling of my work, follow along for more! ☺️🥂
handmade notebooks made from misprints, paper scraps, and recycled paper Digital artwork of a blue, tentacled starfish with a blank expression. The background has white sparkles. Digital artwork of a woman who seems to be half rainbow corn, the way a mermaid is half fish. The border is green and contains thorns Linoleum print of a cat holding a dead mouse on a doorstop, with the text « I got this for you » the border is green and black checkerboard

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

Read ALA's full response: www.ala.org/news/2025/03...
ALA response to White House assault on IMLS To dismiss the mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities.  As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year.

Needle felted a froggy zipper pull 🐸💕 it’s my first time ok
I am holding a fuzzy, felted green frog face in my hand. In the background are my sticker-covered agenda and my clear plastic pencil case.

Coffee towel is finished and here is the pattern! It’s my first crochet pattern 😋🧶
A black and mustard-color crocheted towel that reads COFFEE sits in front of an espresso machine on a granite countertop Typed crochet instructions with the heading “coffee towel tapestry crochet pattern”. The background is a swampy chartreuse color.

Welcome, new skitches!
Time to reiterate this splendid #ALTtextGuide from Perkins School for the Blind:
On writing ALT text: Identify who or what, expression, description, color, interesting features. Example photo is of, and labeled: A capybara looking relaxed in s hot spa, Yellow yuzu citrus fruits are floating in the water, one is balanced on the capybara's head.

One things I kept repeating during my zine workshop was "we are building lifeboats here." You hope you don't end up having to use them, but you're fucked if you do need them and don't have them.

Here's a poster version of the DIY Web Archiving zine's front cover, with some added text if you want to print copies for some space where people can take them—you can hang this poster above or nearby:
Screenshot of the front cover of the digital zine "DIY web archiving", which has large-sized text stating: "Things disappear from the internet. Care about stuff on the web? You need to act to archive it. ANyone can do it—this zine shows you how."
