Do stretches and take breaks. Watch your posture while drawing. Carpal and cubital tunnel syndrome are no joke.
Design for a more complex belt pouch made of cork leather.

I'm planning to layer the pieces for this. The twig is the front of the strap, and the pouch interior will be the shape of the moth and moon (minus the long tail part).

Barred owl in the Missouri botanical garden today.

@irisflorafawn.bsky.social spotted this birb and helped me find it and take this photo! She tapped my phone screen to focus on the bird since I had my hands full aiming the phone camera through one side of my binoculars 😅

Made an autumn ginko leaf version of our new cork zipper pouches! Might do an edit to the leaf shape and the spot where I attach the strap, but LOOK AT THEM 😭💚

✨✨LEAVES IN SPAAAAAACE✨✨

Played with a galaxy color scheme on a couple of these yesterday and I'm hooked. The stars are metallic silver.

Took a much needed day off yesterday after two weeks of pushing through. Napped on a stone bench in the botanical garden, watched bees, and found these really cool mushrooms. I also saw common yellowthroats in forest park and a chipmunk almost ran up my leg. 10/10.

3 more weeks of STL ren fest.

I really enjoy the invertebrates I get to see when vending outside. This stink bug hung out on the ceiling of my tent right by me for like four hours. There was also a really cool wheel bug walking around, but I had to move that one.
The stinkbugs are so derpy and gentle.

Just realized today that I've been pursuing art with intent for almost 21 years. 😵‍💫 2004 vs 2025

We all have to start whatever it is we want to do if we want to get good at it or even do it at all.

Happy birthday! I hope it's excellent!
What a good idea for an art share.
I looked for one of my oldest drawings that I still have a scan of to start.

I painted a bunch of natural cork today and lasered these little front pieces for small leaf pouches! this size is perfect for earplugs, coins, or other little things.

I originally designed these so I'd stop losing my earplugs!

Painted cork leather zipper pouches are on our shop! We make sycamore and space shaped versions each in two color schemes for now! I'll add the smaller size and other solid color options later.

Ughhhhh look how pretty these two paint jobs turned out! 😭😭😭😭 This cork fabric has iridescent gold veins in it... I just got a sample to test with paint, and I'm gonna need a roll of this if leaf pouches are doing well this fall.

It's fun learning a new tool. I need to watch some general beginner sewing machine use videos, but look what we made yesterday! #crafts #handmade #leaf #corkfabric #art

Justin had an awesome idea that improves our cork fabric leaf pouch design! Painting them with acrylic! Also tried a simpler shape.

Making progress on the design of my leaf pouch. I cut a larger one, with no fabric backing (so it's more flexible), and moved the zipper so it could be larger and allow the pouch to hold more volume.
