Bluesky lets me freeform crop a photo to any aspect ratio? Whaaat? 😍

Be Nice Or Leave (after Dr. Bob) linocut block printed on cotton & appliquéd to this WILD 70’s vintage DIY embroidery kit doily thingy. The registration of the pre-printed stitch pattern guide was so off it was craaaaazy.

Dolly Instant Shrine™️ I made last year- ooh I forgot how much I liked this color combo. Collage + lots of painting🎨

Will say again that “is this a surprise” is the most tedious, boring response imaginable. I am rarely surprised by the stuff I post—the trajectory of these things is often easy to predict. Surprise, however, is not a metric for whether or not we should pay attention to something.
