Welp...what to do with stuff you made but don't like? Yes, fun to imagine then create & learn from, but the results fell flat. Any "fix" ideas?? Or are these undo projects or just trash 🤔 #craftsky #textileart #arthritis #adhd #queerwomanartist

3x5 collages. Also had fun sorting small bits by color then just putting away. Shoebox of "small art" supplies. Organizing stashes as Grab-n-Go is proving to be great for my ADHD in reducing decision paralysis and clean up overwhelm. #collage #craftsky #artsky #adhd #arthritis #queerwomanartist

"Flow", my entry in local art show, Serenity. My first watercolor out in the world (also used pens, pencil, thread, velvet backing) in 5x7 frame. (pic of pic on other phone bc I adhd'd my phones & each have limited capabilities iykyk) #watercolor #craftsky #adhd #arthritis #queerwomanartist

Fabric twine bowl, done - loosely twisted twine is a pita. Covering basket in fabric twine, wip - forgetting how to position needle for consistant pattern, keep tangling thread. Embroidery pattern, wip - chose fun colors, doing it is kinda boring. #craftsky #arthritis #adhd #queerwomanartist

I made fabric twine from others' scraps then used it & thrifted thread to make a bowl. Inspired by rainbow rope bowl by @marlanalourey.bsky.social Let's all try to inspire and be inspired. ✌ #craftsky #textileart #reducereuserecycle #arthritis #adhd #queerwomanartist

Shorts at a stopping point. What else can I fix and/or stitch, gimme gimme gimme 🤗 #craftsky #visiblemending #menddontspend #arthritis #queerwomanartist

Took off mini pocket and belt loops (why are these things even added?) Embroidery thread stitches along new side seams give tailored fit. Next up, trying this on full length pants 🤞 Bonus: finger arthritis pain lessening with stitchwork #visiblemending #menddontspend #arthritis #queerwomanartist

Need to figure out how to take in clothing. Pant legs were daunting so cut them off. Folded sides back to front, pinned while wearing, stitched, cutting off extra material. So far so good. #visiblemending #menddontspend #arthritis #queerwomanartist

Patched jean knees then cut off legs, saved patches, cut legs up for future patches. New project begun with shorts. #visiblemending #menddontspend #arthritis #queerwomanartist

Result of three days of short sessions making small 3x5 collages while watching LOL shows. Forgot how gluey my fingers get. Cut up old record covers as bases, mostly vintage book & magazine images. #analog #collage #artseries #smallart #queerwomanartist #adhd #arthritis

My fumbly self needed a pin cushion for flying pins & needles so I stuffed a quilted sample with other fabrics, binding with thrifted embroidery thread. Getting *sew* organized 🤣. Reno 911 on. 💣 #upcycling #fabric #makewhatyouneed #queerwomanartist #adhd #arthritis

Next I cut short a gifted denim coat, added colorful snips & stitching with embroidery thread while watching Scottish shows. Already wore it but I know it's not done yet. Hello, Spring! What am I doing? #patchwork #embroidery #upcycling #collageclothing #queerwomanartist #adhd #arthritis

Clean-up, the worst part of creating. Admittedly a small mess this time but still not going to do it right now. My fingers ache, need to eat, and brain is D-O-N-E with this stuff for today. And that's ok! #FrogLeapStudios is still going, though 🤘 #creativemess #adhd #womanartist #arthritis

Canvas bag probably 20 yrs old, covered a logo & stains using free fabric, middle kid's old shirt, friend's jeans pocket, thrifted thread, my grandma's needle, only 2 bandaids 😁 Done while listening to #FrogLeapStudios 🤘 #embroidery #usableart #adhd #womanartist #recycle #reuse #arthritis

Instead of collaging, I painted. Truth: At the time this was easier than finding all my collage supplies. Also truth: It was super interesting discovering ways to manipulate the paint (cheap acrylics)! #acrylics #womanartist #abstractart #art #adhd

Art comes out, like it's been there the whole time but was invisible until I did things. Welcome to my eyes. #collage #analogcollage #cutandpaste This piece was to be a gallery entry but I forgot the date, heck, I forgot the event entirely. Welcome to my brain.
