And here are “Lunar” and “Solar” in the antique frames that inspired them.

I found these frames in an antique store, and they made me think of reliquaries and over the top religious art, like the jewel covered catacomb saints.

I stabilized the frames and added plexiglass and spacers.

I had so much fun as the featured artist for Baltimore Faerie Faire! I produced t-shirts and totes for the event. I have quite a few left, so they're now available online. I've bumped all the BFF related stuff to the top of my shop page for now!

Tired of seeing projects that rely heavily to entirely on ART for their unique appeal or primary marketing angle...but don't credit the actual artists.

Every race. It’s basically been every race.

Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers.

Just everything.

Adorable jack-o-lantern dude by @melissasuestanley.bsky.social I also got at IX! Glad to add him to the pumpkin patch.

Beautiful “Gratitude” ceramic tile by @kestfineart.com I got at IX. I picked it out of her series because of the crescent moon and the beautiful green in the background, but I was glad to discover the sigil’s intention after I’d chosen it.

Just moved some things around and this plaque by @oddoblivion.bsky.social looks at home with some other skellies on one of my salon style walls!
