hello, all, I am screaming into the void here:

It’s been a rough few weeks.

*gestures awkwardly* because yeah, not much to say other than, “AHHHHHHHH!!”

Feeling pretty isolated in this world of mine, but on the flip side, I decided to do something funky with my furniture.

Also: looking for #penpals or anyone who wants to do parcel swaps, #snailmail is awesome. I’m super into kawaii #stationary, and #filmphotography sooooo.. anyone wanna send me cool stuff? I’ll try to do the same. :) and obv, I love #art #painting #abstract

Here’s a picture of my table. Drip acrylic paint with floetrol, POSCA markers, white gel pens and gesso. I like it so far. :11111:

Hello from a (yet another) recent IG convert!

Things feel real gross and overwhelmingly bad lately but I’m here to offer a bright spot in your mailbox— a free valentine!!! All you gotta do is fill out the “Hello Valentine” form in my bio so I know where to send it.

That’s it! No strings, no fees, just answer a few questions and this 5x7 block print will be headed your way via snail mail. 💖

Free valentine prints will be sent out on Saturday, 2/8– you have until 11:59pm AKST on Friday, 2/7 to submit your name. If you miss your shot, it’ll still be available for purchase after that for $12, including shipping.

Last year was my first time sending out block print valentines to friends and it felt real good. As a beginner at this craft still, it’s a fun way for me to experiment and share my art! Not to mention process my feelings about the depressing state of things— using sharp things to carve pretty designs is very satisfying to my brain and the focus it takes helps me tune out the anxiety from doomscrolling for a bit.

It also helps me feel like I’m putting good into the world instead of just consuming terrible things. If it brightens even one person’s day, it’s worth it!

I just learned about #InCoWriMo and I think it’s exactly what I need. I’ve gotten out of the habit of letter writing and would like to make it a regular part of my life again.

So! If you would like to get a letter in February let me know. I’ll be collecting addresses. Then if you answer my letter I’ll reply and we’ll have a correspondence going. Or you can just enjoy the one time joy of an actual letter. #PenPals #LetterWriting #SnailMail #FountainPen
