I met my aid goal!! Thank you so much :bolbheart: :sharesloved:

My doodle commissions are STILL OPEN!
I am looking for a job (I have some interviews tomorrow) and my mom is currently unable to sit/walk due to 2 ruptured discs... I'm spending a lot of time taking care of her. So, despite my initial goal being met, any additional assistance (including boosts!) is greatly appreciated :blobcat_heart_nonbinary:

Graphic that reads: "I met my aid goal (yay!) and my $3 commissions are still OPEN!" There is a drawing of a cat wearing piercings (meant to depict the artist) gripping a piece of paper and a pen.
Graphic that reads: "Thanks to your support, we were able to afford rent this month (and food last month, and new glasses for me!!) Jenni, the cats, and I are SO grateful. TYSM!!" There are doodles meant to depict my partner (Jenni), my cats (Isko and Benji), and me along the bottom of the graphic.
Graphic that reads: "I would love to get to a point where I can create full-time! Right now, it's not sustainable... But your support gives me hope!"
Graphic that reads: "With YOUR help, I am able to keep going!! Meow!!" There is a doodle of me giving a thumbs up and exclaiming, "Yea!"

The Peaceful Garden
A cat meditates on the nature of life. A curious owl wishes that he would talk and explain its enigmatic smile.

The Peaceful Garden With eyes closed in peaceful meditation, a white cat considers the nature of life. Surrounded by a flowering tree and small hillocks of varying shades of deep umber, bright orange flowers spark in the quiet space like fire. A curious owl watches nearby and wishes that he would ask his companion about its enigmatic smile. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Storybook Art: CHICKEN LITTLE
This is an illustration that I created for the 2012 Tomie dePalo Award competition, from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.

Colorful drawing illustrating a passage in the classic story, "Chicken Little". It depicts on the left 3 distressed fowl: a rooster, chicken and duck. They are holding tiny umbrellas and staring down the road at a little yellow chick, desperately telling goose and turkey about the sky falling down and the inevitable end of the world. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Modified from a design on bracelet book.com. (Those patterns are charted on a square grid, so end up stretched when transferred directly to a loom.) Final pic is the complete piece. Love how it turned out! Meant to try a border of strung beads but forgot, whoops. Next time.
Used nymo thread, which seems like it’s harder for me to keep even tension with? Will try Fire Line next time to compare.

Seed beads strung up on warp threads still taught on the loom. Only a small border design and one iteration of a three colored spiral has been completed. A hand is under the band for scale, the band is about two fingers wide.
The same beadwork but now the pattern is almost complete. The three colored spiral was repeated three times and the border on the end has been started.
The same pattern, complete and cut off the loom! The edges are a little uneven now that the warp isn’t under tension. On either end is an off color row of beads that will eventually be covered by a metal end bar.

Monsters in a Teacup
Humans aren't the only ones who enjoy a spot of tea now and again. Little monsters have been know to slip quietly into kitchens when no one is around and sneak a sip or two of freshly brewed sweetness. Alas, some of these tiny creatures may become so enamored with the tea, that they sip themselves silly and fall into a state of euphoria, causing all manner of behavior.

Set against a flower covered wallpaper, piled into a porcelain teacup, are 5 tiny monsters. Peeking from behind, one more peers above the tabletop.
