Good morning, #bluesky
I have a hand sculpted Green Man wall plaque in my Etsy shop just now. He is wonderfully tactile and has textures of bark, lichen, and moss.

This one is for the corvid lovers. This is my Urban Rook study, 10 inch square, acrylic on canvas. Original art makes an amazing gift and I love to paint birds, so you'd be helping me out 😊

Reminder, I'm once more selling to the US! Sent a tester parcel and it all worked fine.

(I'm absolutely screwed on the Etsy algorithm because of time without sales, but I'm doing what I can.)

Looking for a little magic? I'm slowly adding more labradorite pendants, and US shipping is open once more - it may be slower than usual, but nothing has changed on your side (the tariff stuff all gets sorted at my post office).

Watercolor painting of a small bird perched on a thin branch. The bird has a brown head, a vibrant red chest, and blue and purple accents on its wings. The bird's body is round and fluffy, with a delicate beak and small legs. The background is a soft white, with subtle watercolor splatters.

Red Squirrels always looking like they're about to politely interrupt

A Red Squirrel stands upright on the forest floor, tiny paws clasped neatly together as if waiting nervously to ask a question. Its wide eyes and hesitant posture give it an endearing, almost apologetic expression, as though feeling rather unsure about interrupting.

There is, admittedly, a load of shit dread-inducing stuff in my life at the moment, but on the other side of it all. I am SO loved-up… here’s my boy’s birthday “card” - full of stupid in-jokes

A pastiche of The Swing featuring me and my boyfriend. First love, now current love. He’s LOVELY :)
