I ain’t gonna lie, I’ve been procrastinating a bit, but i am doing. Slowly? Yes. But I’m doing. It’s so sad to be a slow artist

December's herbologist reward is the auricula! From the primrose family, the auricula is one of the earliest flowers from western history that became a collectors plant, and hundreds of hybrids have been created over the centuries. This showy little plant has cultivated plant obsessions for generations 🌟

I have some slots free this month, so if you'd like to have these little plant postcards and folklore headed your way, support me on patreon!

Some extra nerdy thoughts, but I’m soo obsessed with how the curiosities print this months, I really enjoyed illustrating the tulip podstakannik, and the 1800s brass kettle. Indulging my magpie habits!
