Lola stole an adorable Cerberus plushie I picked up at a random candy store and has been carrying around and nibbling it for two days. #dogsky #dogsofbluesky #underworld #cutesky

#birthday #lillies. They are nearly 6’ tall and achingly beautiful. #gardensky #flowersky #gardentherapy

Found some cool things in my outside adventures yesterday. I like spending most of the time outside on my #birthday. Today I’m going to see @maxrichtermusic.bsky.social at the #atlantasymphonyorchestra

This #painting tickles me. I had fun with it. This is Hugo, and the painting is Hugo on the inside. He also used to be much pinker because of some fairly wretched allergies. If he had his druthers, he would eat nonstop. 😂

Progress is being made. Did some #embroidery, which I quite enjoyed. So it’s officially a #mixedmedia piece. #artsky #craftsky #expressionism #painting

Started a new painting. You have to get a bunch going when you work in #oil. #artsky #painting #figurative #craftsky

#Painting in progress! #artsky #craftsky

My eye stopped twitching most of the day. It took 10 days for my eyesight to stop being affected by this nervous twitch. No one should ever have to work in a place where that happens. #worktrauma is real. Be kind to #librarians . I know no one here cares, but it’s good to leave a record.

One week away from work. My eye twitch is still present, but receding. I cooked a lot of beans. Somehow I managed to get #costochondritis and got an rf treatment for it today. To my surprise, I found myself exhausted. I didn’t realize how profound my work #trauma is. #librarysky #labor #labour

My first papier-mâché pièce is now hanging. I think she turned out well, given that it was my first time doing any of this stuff! I wanted her to look like she is listening to, but it didn’t work this time. #artsky #craftsky #papier-mâché #papermache #papiermache #dragonsky #fantasysky

This hussy showed up in my garden today. BLAM!! #gardensky #woodlily #nativeplants #red

My colleagues took me to a #tiki bar that I didn’t even know was there. It was an utter delight and I went to sleep extremely well buzzed. Thank you. I wandered around #decatur and got some ice cream at #butter&cream & took a @waymo.bsky.social home. #waymo makes me feel so safe.

I made my final thing for the #library . It’s a kid’s event passport that I had to print at #fedexkinkos because our system doesn’t have a color copier. They don’t give librarians discounts, btw, so I spent almost $200 of my own money to print these things. They are hard to manipulate one-handed.

I would rather be faffing about with my sidekicks. 6 days, 4 hours, 26 minutes…

I am not 100% satisfied by the outcome, but it’s not terrible for a couple of hours of work. I think I could work on the colours and the composition. I also rushed the animals… but the concept is good. My brushes are shite, tho. #artsky #craftsky #mixedmedia # #watercolour #watercolor #schminke

Starting a new #painting. #artsky #watercolour #watercolor

I love that cliff.

My little #frogpond has 5 tadpoles! I thought I had 3 in the pond, but 5 were hanging out on the new rocks I put in over the weekend. I thought a nice tadpole condo would help them hide if they didn’t feel like transforming this year. #americanbullfrog #frogsky #amphibians #frogfan

Gesso Dragonwerk today. #papiermache #dragonsky #papercraft #sculpture #artsky

Made a treasure box meant to look like a dinosaur head. 13days 23 hours until the end of it. #librarysky #booksky #unearthastory #artsky #papercraft

That #lily is almost 6 feet tall.

Ok. I think the #mural is done, except for the last fish. 16 days 22 hours. #librarysky #summerreading #papercraft #artsky #craftsky

I promised to finish the #rainforest mural at my #library before I retire in 18 days. I think it’s nearly there. I need more fish. Recommendations? #librarysky #artsky #craftsky #papercraft #papiermache #paperart

More #papercraft for the rainforest mural. I think next week it will be done. #librarysky #artsky #craftsky #papersky

More #papercraft plants for that rainforest wall. I told someone I’m junglemaxxing the children’s area. #craftsky #artsky #gardensky #booksky #librarysky

Continuing the craft craziness with some weird paper flowers. My friend thought they look like #fuchsias. I sort of had #mandevilla in my mind, but the stamen were inspired by our native #azalea…. I agree with the fuchsia sentiment. #gardensky #artsky #papersky #craftsky #papercraft #sculpture

Not bad for my first dragon. Thanks to @janesawyermakes.bsky.social for rekindling a very old obsession.

#making a dragon. It started as a frozen meal box. #recycledart #artsky #sculpture
