I heard the terms twatopotamus & hippotwatamus last week, & now my neurodivergent internal echolalia ass has been singing, 🎶 "I want a hippotwatamus for Christmas," 🎶 for a week now. Send help.

Things are rough out there for tattooers & independent artists, so If you're looking to add some spooky cute to your holidays, our daughter sells prints & stickers online & is vending at Crafty Wonderland this weekend in Portland.

Everyone loves a crafty gal, until the table surfaces start looking like this. And yes, painting orange peels 🟠orange🟠 does feel incredibly silly. 🙃

If you're a crafty bitch, & you're not aware, baking soda + super glue is a quick, cheap way to make epoxy. You're welcome! 😁

Whatever you're doing to find peace, reconnect with nature, & nourish your soul, I support you! I don't care if it's an ancient lineage, a painstaking reconstruction, or whole cloth made up yesterday. If it's giving you the will to get up every day & fight this shit, do you.

I was using these household scissors to break up some sodium bromide, & then some oxidizer, that humidity had gotten to, & look! I accidentally made rainbow scissors! 🌈🙂

For Krampusnacht, two more depictions of Krampus which hang in our house year round. The one on the left was done by our daughter, years ago, & the one on the right is by Brett Manning.

I was just looking through an old book & thought it's strange how this depiction of swords raised in a winter solstice dance, feels like the same energy as the Five of Wands. I'm sure it's not intentional, but it's still what I see.

Art is weird. In painting my orange peel mushroom ornaments I've realized the more realistic I try to make them look, the less real they actually look, bc in most people's minds, including mine, fly agaric mushrooms look like this 🍄 not this ... 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

My husband (who is on the road) got a notification from the security camera in the back half of our backyard & texted to tell me I should look at it. Cutest security alert ever!

A felt Krampus ornament my daughter made several years ago. I don't put him on our tree bc he stays up in the witchy room year round.

My Mom taught ceramics when I was little, & I learned to paint them as soon as I could hold a brush. Moon Santa here is one of a few I've painted that's on my tree this year, bc I have more ornaments than tree. Excuse the rogue glitter currently on him.

Last night in a 'grandma's kitchen' moment at my in-laws, I mentioned I needed to buy straws for something, & she goes, "Oh, I have some," & brings me an open box of vintage straws from the mid 90s clearly bought when my daughter was little. 👀😂❤️
