Oof, Tired of being sick. I've got too many ideas and not enough oomph.

Came across some pictures of some of my very early work (2011). I'm tempted to make a batch of hair leaves again.

I was about to price and set out new altar cloths and zip bags at @booksbeanscandles.bsky.social but it looks like Scorpio has claimed them all for herself

Oh boy, the lovely shop where I sell my goods @booksbeanscandles.bsky.social rearranged their room for local artists and made way more room for goodies. I need to get to making stuff!

I've been having one hell of a time finding any motivation or justification for making art lately. This quote hits different with current world events. Credit @bykellymalka for the art.

Expectation: Super fancy and well thought out celebration of the summer solstice.
Reality: Realizing its solstice halfway through the work day. Scrambling to get supplies from the Publix/dollar store on the way home and trying to manage something between dinner and sunset.

I'm glad one of my co workers is also weird. Getting to share the excitement of finding a dead velvet ant outside the office and the good lucknof finding a tiny jar to put it in was delightful. The rest of the office however thinks we are effing scary. Being a witch in Alabama is anything but dull.

I have a list of projects that would take me years to complete, yet I am stuck behind a desk in a capitalist hellscape instead so I can afford the bare basics to survive. (I still sketch out new sticker designs on my lunch break so it's not a complete nightmare)

Plotting and doing the math for another kickstarter to improve upon the banners. This round will be SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper. I'm still brainstorming on what to do just in case it goes better than planned. More than likely, building some XL pride and trans flags to be marched in the parades.

I'm seriously considering doing another kickstarter for this project. I'd like to do some revisions to the banners so they can both be displayed as the original work with the brushes or easily divided up to be used in parades or expressions of queer joy. #pride #ally #queerart

Deeply frustrated with the world in which I live. Doing what I can doesn't feel like it's going to make a meaningful difference but I have to still try.

I noticed that i left the porch door ajar and that the cat was missing. Stepped outside and she was investigating the neighbors porch. "No ma'am, you are an indoor cat." Was enough for her to waltz back inside. I swear she's more intelligent than the majority of the local population.
