I've been keeping up with #octumnal2025; I'm just bad about posting! From carnivorous plants to deep contrasts of light, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone. What do you do to step out of your artistic comfort zone? Feel free to share!

Day 3 of #Octumnal2025 - baking. Well... maybe it's relative, but I chose a microwave because I was told recently I "give off Animal Crossing hamster vibes" and must have been "microwaved in another life." Compliment? Insult? Whichever, I think this is going to become a sticker.
