Good morning! Its been a minute 😅

I apologize for letting this page slip again, I've been struggling quite a bit and am doing my best to try and catch up a bit this week.

Some quick updates for anyone curious.

- I am still recovering from my surgeries and hospital stay with sepsis as well as navigating new medical concerns including a tumor that was found on my live. I have been having near weekly follow ups to keep track of my healing progress which has been painfully slow as well as an endless parade of other medical appointments and tests. I have started to fill my fall schedule with events, but as of now im stil not medically cleared to to try any markets again just yet. We'll see this Friday what my surgeon thinks and we'll go from there. But I'm crossing my fingers for later this month/early next month 🤞

- in the midst of my medical crisis I am also dealing with a separation from an unsafe relationship, which has been messy and stressful to try and deal with on top of everything. I am a little embarrassed to admit how bad it is, but i am doing my best to get myself out as soon as possible. The relationship itself is not good and my current living conditions have become unhealthy/dangerous. Im trying to have my dog and I moved out by November.

- progress with my art is still very slow, but ive added several new pieces to my etsy shop and will continue adding as im able. I would appreciate any shares even if you're not able to purchase anything, visibility makes a world of difference!

I'm juggling a lot right now, including being a full time student, 12 hours as a studio assistant at a local glass shop, therapy twice a week, doctors appointments filling most of my week, and several ongoing procedures, studies, and tests to manage my chronic illnesses as well as the complications from my surgeries on top of running this business. So I will do my best to be better about regular updates, but your patience and understanding is very much appreciated if I'm not able to post quite as often as I would like.

If you'd like to support me through my continued health concerns and housing insecurity, here are some ways to help!

- interacting with my posts when you see them, a quick like and comment boosts my posts in the algorithm so it will show up in more people's feeds!

- sharing my page, work, or etsy shop so others can see!

- leaving reviews if you've purchased from me before, here and on etsy!

- tagging/sharing/inviting others to any events ill be attending so others can visit!

- purchasing art! Commissions are very limited, but im always happy to chat about them. Purchasing ready to ship items will always be the most helpful though!

- sharing my gofundme to help cover my ongoing medical expenses, car repairs, and moving expenses to help me get home and into safe housing!

Thank you all for sticking with me through this whirlwind, your support means the world! Im looking forward to getting settled into a new place and having time to resr and create once I'm in a better place with my health. Things are tough right now, but I'll get through it and will get to enjoy my art again soon 🥰

All the new 3d butterflies are listed ✨

A quick health update for anyone following along:

I did not get any concrete answers yesterday, but the doctor i saw was phenomenal and extremely reassuring. The current plan is to confirm that the tumor is what he thinks it is, if that's the case, it is unlikely that it is malignant. He obviously can't confirm anything without diagnostics, but that was good to hear. Then a full liver workup to determine what else might be causing the damage, which includes bloodwork, imaging, and an endoscopy which is scheduled for a few weeks from now. He promised that he and his staff will continue investigating and supporting me until my levels are perfect and symptoms are gone. He is pretty hopeful for a good prognosis and confident that whatever they find, he will be able to successfully treat. I'm still really anxious, but knowing I have a great doctor managing this is a huge relief and comfort.

I'll keep everyone posted as I know more. I appreciate all the support and well wishes more than you know. I unfortunately don't have much of a support system, no family, and few friends to hold my hand through all of this. Having people out there that I know care for me and are checking in on me means the world and truly makes such a huge difference. Thank you for being here 🫶

I ran out of time to get the little wall art versions of these listed, but all the plant stakes are up ✨

Im currently running around packing up all my meds and recent medical paperwork/bloodwork to take with me. I have my big appointment today with the GI to discuss the tumor they found on my liver during my hospital stay. They told me they are hoping it is benign, which would be good. But. If that is the case, we have a very severe amount of liver damage that is currently unexplained. So a good answer is still not a great answer since we would have to start all over trying to figure out what is going on. I'm honestly pretty anxious and worried. If you have some good thoughts to send my way, I would greatly appreciate them 🫶

Whimsical little spider baby ✨

I had so much fun with this one! I tried a few new things and I love how it turned out 🥹
- for the web, I soldered it to the *back* of the piece hoping to give her a little more depth and the illusion of her sitting on top of the web
- for patina, I *only* used black patina on the spider herself (very tricky!) and left everything meant to be part of her web silver to help with the illusion
- for the little silk strand she's hanging from, I gave her a little collection of shiny iridescent baubles and a lifetime supply of little bug snacks so she never goes hungry 🥹

This is one of those pieces that are simply impossible to capture on camera and is a hundred times better in person. Honestly one of my favorite pieces to date and I'm already planning more colors to try!

I was able to get some photos/videos of this cutie patootie this morning so I could post her on Etsy, but ran out of time to put my social media posts up before I had to be out the door. Well someone snatched her right up before I even had the chance to hop over here to share her with you guys!

So I'm sorry if you missed out, but! I'm considering doing a small collection of these to release at once with a potential collab (still working out the details, so stay tuned for updates) ✨. This is obviously a pattern I've had around for a couple years now, but there is a creator I found that makes the cutest stop motion videos and artwork with *blue* opossums 🥹. Which of course I fell in love with, because how CUTE is that, and wanted to do something inspired by her work. If you haven't already followed them, their page is Genlee Art and you should absolutely go support the work they're doing 🫶

I can't wait to share more once we discuss everything in more detail. In the meantime, go check out their page and online shop for the cutest opossum (and other cute critter) art ✨

This might just be the cutest opossum I've ever made, I love all the little celestial charms🥹✨

I didn't get any good photos tonight since I didn't manage to finish it before the sun set, so I'll have to wait to list him. I'm hoping to have this guy and a nice big restock of necklaces up tomorrow afternoon though 🫶

A few pieces finished, including a whole bunch of necklaces ✨

I'm still chipping away at some other pieces as I'm able. I'll be adding everything to Etsy as I go and hopefully running a little destash this weekend in ADHD Craft Swap and Shop. I'm still trying to catch up (both with projects and financially) after all the health issues I've been dealing with lately. It's slow going, but we're getting there!

The finished Forbes Silkmoth ✨

I definitely think the paint can be improved upon, the glass paints I have are super thick and hard to get it nice and smooth. But practice makes perfect, and for my first fully painted piece like this, I don't hate it!! I can't wait to keep experimenting with paints and get that dialed in a bit more.

I'm also thrilled to be slowly filling out my RGV native insect collection! What species should I do next?
