July 19, 2026 - oil pastel

finally got back to my pastel practice! this was fun. the pastels are so smooth and creamy. this was a pretty quick drawing but i enjoyed it, and i'm glad to return to making art again.

also... my pastel sketchbook is becoming full... will this be my first ever full sketchbook??

My latest felting project… another frog!

(Actually I’ve been calling them forgs instead of frogs, because they’re a little silly.)

Second photo is the new forg (purple) next to my first one (green), which also happened to be my first needle felting project ever. This is only my third felting project but I think I can see some improvement.

April 7, 2026 - sharing another photo of this bc it makes me feel happy!

today i started drawing with the intent to release anxiety. when i started, i thought i would create something that embodied the anxious feelings… but as i began drawing, i realized: i’d much rather create something that brings joy instead.

there’s a field near me that erupts into a sea of blue flowers in the spring. that beauty will be here soon. keep going!
