This fall was a busy one for me but I did take a stab at #inktober2018 Only was able to get to 21st, but I do now have a new puppy @buttonthelittledog living with me and my fiancée @canadianintraining visited me (also speed knit to finish a baby blanket for my love to bring home) so many worthy distractions . . . Bonus: filters helped me achieve my inner Autumnal God- and all shall fall before me and change their colours . #drawingchallenge #sketching #inktober #fall #autumn #knitting #babyblanket #knittersofinstagram #puppiesofinstagram #cutecouple #engayged #fallGod #allshallfall #busyordeppressed? https://www.instagram.com/p/BpqQRRjn8Kc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e8hkha45iu75

Was going to post this photo anyway cause it's one of the cutest photos of me taking a catnap, but especially now cause my best friend's cat in this picture needs emergency dental surgery!

So most of the time I feel like an uncoordinated-but comfy unfashionable slob.... But occasionally I'm so on point that even my clothes match my food 🍟🥔 (or maybe I'm just obsessed and love potatoes? And am a couch potato?) #fryday #nationalfryday #food #fries #potato #potatolust #couchpotato #coordinate #matching #fashion #treatyoself #sockselfie

Today July 1st is Canada Day or as I refer to it as Colonial Settlers Day, 151 years ago the European white settlers formed a legal confederation which made the theft of First Nations, Metis and Inuit lands legal under their government. Canada has a very troubling history and sadly continuing treatment of Indigenous peoples; from residential schools, the 60's scoop, to the many missing and murdered indigenous women, and mass environmental and political injustices. There is alot of work on reconciliation and alot more awareness is needed, but indigenous people are beautiful and strong Canadian land has been a site of human activity for over 15,000 years. Canada is population is about 5% Indigenous, has over 13 aboriginal language groups. Toronto, where I live, is in the territory of the Huron-Wendat and Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. The territory was the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. The vast diversity of food, culture, language amongst the various indigenous peoples of Canada is amazing, and I'm proud to be part First Nations in my background. I will always celebrate my Canadian-ness as an aware mixed indigenous person instead of the popular colonial-white-washing nationalism-filled hyped up celebration that alot of Canada Day celebrations have become for many . . #canadaday #colonial #whitesettlers #indigenous #europeansettlers #firstnations #problematic #mixedindigenous #celebrate #canadianfirstnations #settlercolonialism #canada (at Toronto, Ontario)

This is all I’ve done so far! I cringed at the idea of doing a comparison because my own art looks terrible when compared to the original masterpieces, but since others have done it I figured I may as well.   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The most fun part about doing these pieces is that I feel I’m exploring the original painters’ mind a little. And hopefully learning something from them in the process! :P

I want all of these traditional art mashups for my home, soooo good!!! 😍😍😍😍

For this Valentine’s Day, we’re delighted to present to you: The Fifth Wheel Binder Giveaway.

Five lucky winners of this giveaway will each receive one $50 Shapeshifters crop top binder. (That’s any of these.)

Thank you always for spreading the word, telling your friends, talking about us, and, of course, for your amazing direct support. We could not do this without you.

Enter here!

The fine print:

Entries from all countries are welcome.

There are three possible ways to enter. Doing any one of the listed actions will get you one entry. You do not have to do all three!

The winners will be randomly selected on **February 19, 2017**. One winner each will be selected from Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter, and the remaining two will be selected from the full pool. We will send emails to notify the winners!
