My most recent "keeping sane" attempts

I call most of these sort of aimless projects "On Hold Doodles" because years ago when I worked at an orthopedic I did a Lot of sitting on hold with insurance companies.

Lately I've been calling it "wasting art supplies" because I'm being mean to myself for feeling burnt out and overwhelmed. My husband (and my therapist) dislike this title.

So here's to on hold doodles. Here's to staying sane. Here's to remembering you have to take a little time and a little paper and a little breather even in the fire.

Stay strong. Fight fascism.

Shove it up your ass, N@zis.

YodaCat says "you've got this"!

Well, maybe after a nap, you've got this!

[yarrisharts]

I told my therapist I've been wasting a lot of art supplies because everything I try to do, I feel like it turns out poorly or I lose interest part way through.

She pointed out that sometimes it's more important that you're doing something than perhaps the end result.

My husband also doesn't like me saying I'm wasting art supplies, but that's neither here nor there.

So I've been trying to sit and just Do Something every night. Just put color on the paper. Find shapes. Make something.

Back in December I thought to myself "I should paint my own holiday cards"

$5,000 goal to bring us to our first event

Hello!

The day you’ve waited for is HERE! Welcome to the Sustainable Collapse Larp Kickstarter is LIVE!

Sustainable Collapse is a new live action roleplaying game in Connecticut, USA, mashing up the genres of fantasy and science fiction, answering the question of what happens when two realities violently collide and merge into a new, unstable world.

The Sustainable Collapse LARP follows the story of the inhabitants of this new world. That’s where you come in.

We need your help to keep telling this story. We’ve drafted a rulebook, written our lore (Check out our lore videos on our website!) and created dozens of cultures from around our world, Mirhanan. All that we need is you- People to join the Sustainable collapse community as backers to make this story a reality.

With a pledge as low as $2, you can help us launch and reach our first live event. If you cannot donate, please share this link so our project reaches far and wide!

For even more information, find us on Facebook or check out our teaser origin videos on Youtube

Hello! I am on the staff and creative team for a brand new Larp called Sustainable Collapse!

Please donate if you can, and share regardless, so that I am able to get busy making wonderful (terrifying) props for our player base!

A Basket for scale on my ever growing "stress blanket". I started it in college, and routinely add to it when I need to unwind, or do a mindless project.

[yarrisharts]

Daggers, daggers, and more daggers!

All hand sculpted in EVA foam which I layered together with barge and then sanded to shape on my band sander.

A basecoat of modge podge, then acrylic paint, and topcoat of modge podge later and you're in business!

These were a very quick project, though some paint jobs took more effort than others. I did however enjoy it very much.

This distinctive bear was a commission of a drawing one person did for their partner. I hope this anniversary present went over well! I especially had fun looking up various "feywild" plants to decorate it with, and those are 100% the best grapes I've ever done

[yarrisharts]

Another happy Pet Portrait customer!
