These are so fulfilling to do .

I finished this one while I lay in the Florida room. The sun has simmered around me; it is barely above the rooftop now.

These are based off of an image of parakeet chopstick holders! But I figured the original thing I wrote (ready to hold you chopsticks) could be too niche lol (Asian restaurants hit me up for art though!)

Everytime I am preparing her summer cool down enrichment treat she gets so curious.

She knows the second I grab the container that her late afternoon dessert is on the way!

Shes the swetest lady.

One of her favorite things to do is sunbathing, she would be out there all day if she could. Even in her old years, her gray white face is tilted towards the gleaming sky- her grin is brilliantly spread across her face. It splits it into a wide open pant of bliss. I wonder if Summer is her favorite season. I wonder if she even has favorites at all. In fact, Shera quite likes to hop in the winter snow. However, our years twilight months may be far too lazy for her. Who loves only to explore and to play, with the conclusion of a nap near the ones she love; paws twitching during dreams with the enrichment of the day.

So i do my best to keep her cool <3

Yesterday was so beautiful.

The past couple weeks, I’ve been feeling a depressive slump in my subconscious. MUCH easier to manage than previous bouts of mental health challenges (and I am unbelievably grateful to have found that light I craved, the outside of the tunnel), but still jarring and demanding to sit in the forefront of my mind (I won’t let it!!!).

I am trying to remind myself that it is okay for me to sit in it. That I am no longer facing “the end of my world” and that I am in a place, now, where I can spread my wet wings. That there is lessened fear in the vulnerability. That I do not need to be prepared to take flight.

I have a very beautiful, lucky, and full life. That is such an intense privilege to wield.

Spending the day with my best friends, wading in the river, collecting shells from the floor, making not one but four cups of tea, suspending our bodies in the deep end of the pool (what a lovely thing to be submitted to a body of water), hugs where you rest your heads on each others shoulders; all the while, knowing that these are the people who helped me grow. Who’ve shared the experience of our universe expanding. Who have loved me each day I have known them, and who I have loved back.

It feels so safe to be wrapped in this, thank you thank you thank you. Today I will return to working, I have a few commissions that I’m chipping away at (and am really excited for the outcome!!), and an exciting project come late summer ;)

I hope everyone has had a lovely day, or has at least found contentment. And I hope the universe bends down to hug you, soon.

Having a lot of fun playing with digital styles :3

Here are some gay peacocks because I was watching the show about queer animals
