- Finally finished! Life is so busy. It’s hard to find time for art. Maybe if I start calling it therapy I’ll actually make it more of a priority. 🤪  #mixedmediaart #bluecrab #embroideryart #embroidery #collageart

- Stitching on the go at my son’s travel ball game. (I’ll stop when they start playing but it’s a great way to pass the time while they warm up) 🪡 🦀 ⚾️ #embroidery #bluecrab

- When he looks this sweet it’s easy to forget what a cranky, snappy little demon he can be. #chihuahua #longhairchihuahua #deerheadchihuahua #rescuedog
- This is the first mixed media piece I made incorporating embroidery. My daughter took one look at it and claimed it for herself. #mixedmedia #embroidery #moth #natureart #collage
- I’m devastated. Our sweet Pigeon has developed a very aggressive cancerous tumor that is taking over her nose. (First photo is before the tumor). 1/2
- Our vet thinks she only has a few months left before we’ll have to make one of the toughest decisions. Quality of life versus quantity of time with her. But,for now, she is basking in the sunshine and purring up a storm. Sweetest cat I’ve ever lived with. 💔
- I finished this little guy and started mapping out a mixed media piece to use him in. However, the more I look at him the less I like my color choices. I think I might redo the whole thing in more muted colors. Any thoughts? #embroidery #mixedmedia #bluecrab #art
- Hello out there! Bluesky newbie here 👋 A quick bit about me: I dabble around with mixed media creations (mostly a blend of acrylic paint, collage, and embroidery). I read quite a lot of science fiction, urban fantasy and horror. I spend as much time outdoors as I can and I love to cook! 1/2
- I would love to connect with other artists, nature lovers, photographers, pet lovers, vegans/vegetarians (though not a requirement!!), and anyone with a kind soul that likes pretty things.
