I’m totally new to digital art — I’ve always felt intimidated by the steep learning curve. But I discovered Sketchbook and it’s perfect for learning on!

I haven’t touched my art supplies in months and months, but I recently took a mini online painting lesson from Toni Burt and applied her teachings to digital painting on my iPad. This is the result. I’m looking forward to experimenting some more 😊✨

Yay!! My new book 'If I Could Draw...' is ready to fly! Very grateful for all the hard work from the great team at DC Canada Educational Publishing. 'If I Could Draw...' is a fun picture book about creativity, collaboration & sibling friendship. #kidlit #kidlitart #drawing #Art #siblings #brothers

Today is Autism Awareness and Acceptance Day. I’ve found fun graphics like this to be helpful in navigating and understanding my own (recently discovered) neurodivergence. Hope it helps with your understanding, too ✨ #autism #autismawareness #autismacceptance

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility, & I wanted to share this great reading list that @slj.com put together last year. It features 14 books for middle grade & teen readers by trans creators or about trans characters. Add some to your list or your library! ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

In case you needed a little moment of whimsy 🐰💕 #amigurumi #crochet #bunny

Humanity seems so eager to humanize AI and yet we still continually dehumanize actual humans

How about a happy little hippocampus? ✨ #amigurumi #crochet #hippocampus

Oh goodness! Lookit this little guy 🥰 #crochet #amigurumi #dragon

Mushroom besties 🍄♥️ #crochet #mushrooms #amigurumi

When you think your mushroom needs a best friend 🍄🍄 #crochet #amigurumi #mushroom

I was asked to make a mushroom. There’s no way I was saying no 🍄 ✨ #crochet #amigurumi #mushroom

Any guesses on the new purple guy? 🤐 🤔 #crochet #amigurumi #ogre #secretpurpleguy #chenilleyarn

Look at this pouffy bunch of yarn that just arrived on my doorstep! I’ve got a few more skeins on the way that have GLITTER in them! Pouff + glitter + yarn is definitely my dream combo 🤩 Let’s see what fun creatures are hiding inside these little dream skeins ✨ #crochet #amigurumi #yarn #chenille

Well, his ears are lopsided and his eyes aren’t big enough and I ran out of yarn before I could stitch him a mouth, but this ogre turned out pretty good otherwise. And he’s weighted and fluffy and oh so cuddly ✨💚 Inspiring magical pattern by drewbieszoo (on insta) #amigurumi #crochet #ogre

FB Memories tells me I painted this guy a year ago. He’s still one of my faves. Looks like he’s a member of the Aadams family 🖤 #birds #blueheron #aadamsfamily #painting

I mean, if we’re talking about cute … 🐰🤍 #amigurumi #crochet #bunny

… and this little shmoo has a weighted bottom 🐧✨ #crochet #amigurumi #penguin #bird

I’ve started experimenting with different crochet yarns and patterns and discovered amigurumi and omigosh isn’t this little guy the cutest?? I’m smitten 🥰✨ #crochet #amigurumi #penguin #fibreartist

Glorious Morning Moon! 18% waning crescent at first light. Some 'Earthshine' too. #astronomy #astrophotography @stormhour.com @photohour.bsky.social

BREAKING: Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife has made a “transformational” donation to the LGBTQ+ advocacy group. This large gift comes just months after the Trump administration shut down counseling services for queer youth. My latest for @wired.com:

I’ve finished three more blankets. These are addictive in so many ways 🥰✨ #knitting #handknitting #knittedblanket #jumboyarn

Next up! Let’s see how this one turns out 😃✨ #crochet #fibreart #fibreartist #crochetbag

This is my “learner” bag — with it, I learned how (and how not!) to crochet a sturdy, functional, cutie drawstring bag. Mistakes and all, I love it! 😃✨ #crochet #crochetbag #fibreartist #fibreart #cottoncord

My latest project. I really just love making things 💛✨ #crochet #knitting #fiberartist #crochetedbag #cottoncord

Rainbows and iridescent things are my favourite. Even better when they appear by surprise ✨ #sunhalo #rainbow #iridescence

Now that they’ve all been given away I can share what I’ve been obsessing over lately — finger knitting! These blankets are as fun to make as they are to give! 🎄💛✨ #knitting #fingerknitting #throwblankets

For someone who likes very few photos of herself, there is the rare candid shot that makes me smile. Thanks to my pal Allison for the capture 😊 (PS yes, that’s a cardinal on my head. The theme for our work party was “Dressed to Sleigh” — red carpet with a touch of Christmas ✨)

I’ll tell ya one thing — it really helps when your workplace prioritizes fun and you enjoy the people you work with! December Spirit Days set the stage for the holidays ✨💛 #grinch #santasworkshop #holidays

Let’s do what we can, however we can, to end hate. A starting point might be for us all to take the time to learn about the lives of individuals we don’t understand. And then teach our children and grandchildren that each person on the planet is an entire world. Source: @bevrosenbaum.bsky.social

In this world of exponentially-increasing AI, I never want to lose sight of what it means to be human. No matter your current stance on technology and advancement, please never minimize the beauty and pure holiness of simply existing #human #humanart #noAI
