Planted my Arabella clematis I got from Brushwood Nursery (great online company). The roots looked amazing and I can’t wait until it’s big enough to grow into my Eden roses. I choose this clematis for its long bloom time, easy care and color compatibility. #garden #gardening #roses #clematis

I have no interest in running a Patreon, making video content, having sponsors. None of this is life. None of it is art. Can't we just make things that people want and buy the things we want from people who make them? Why must life be performative? Why must we fund the existence of major companies?

Gorgeous Tiger Swallowtail at the nursery today. #insects #nursery

Every time I make pancakes Jenny waits patiently for her own tiny pancake. #borderheeler #dog #cutedog #dogs

I got all 20 of my scabiosa seedlings (Fama white and blue) planted. Feeling very accomplished with my success with growing from seed for the first time. I have many more seedlings to go! #garden #seedlings #gardening #plants

If you have nsfw set to "hide" I implore you to set it to "warn". You still won't see anything except for a blurred post Otherwise once they roll out account-wide adult content labeling a whole lot of people including me are going to disappear from your timelines, even our sfw text posts

Peonies from my garden… wishing you a peaceful day. 🩷 #PNW #Photography #BoomScrolling #Gardens

if you are someone who makes anything, anything at all, with your own real brain and hands, I respect you so so much and am begging you to keep doing it.

The Museum of Nature in downtown Ottawa. A castle-like building opened in 1912. Renovated and expanded recently, a glass tower was added over the main entrance, where it now houses an illuminated moon. See comments for print info!

Pranking my boss by bringing in my giant Sparrowhawk artdoll and moving it around her desk through the day. She came in and yelled who put a cock on my desk. #pranks #bestbossever

I’m still mad we never got a Hellboy 3.

I’m having an obsession with glowy dots for eyes. This started as a study but we see what it turned into 😅.

Caesar’s Brother Siberian Iris. I bought this one last summer and haven’t seen the blooms till now. Did not disappoint! #garden #iris #flowers

I had no idea black lace elderberry flowers were this stunning. So happy to have her in my garden, she’s small but doing wonderfully. In my area she’ll get to 15 feet tall or more in height. Can’t wait to see her covered in bloom disks one day. #flowers #flower #garden #elderberry

I associate dragonflies with my late mother and today I got my first dragonfly visitor in my garden ❤️ #insects #dragonfly

Some lovely roses for you today. #rose

I've done many drawings for #mermay but this one has got to be my favorite💙 I think it's from 2021 and I still love it.

We’ve had so many hummingbird moths at the nursery and I’m loving it. Such amazing insects. #moth #insects

My legal team is now working on copyright cases against SHEIN. They were the first place that counterfeits of my work started showing up and I am glad to be able to finally go after them. If you have had your art ripped, please contact Justice for Artists. They won a huge case for me last year.

Guess who got a raise?! It’s really nice working somewhere you’re appreciated ❤️

Looks like I never made a proper post for this pixel crow, oops #art #pixelart #artsky

I’ve been planning and dreaming of this trellis for months and it’s DONE! We busted this project out in two days. First day we dug the holes and Second day it took about 8 hours to finish everything else! It’s 16 feet long and about 6 feet high. #gardening #garden #trellis #roses

To whoever it was that decided it was a good idea to take a cucumber and some herbs and soak em in vinegar for an amount of time and then eat em. Hell yeah, thanks mate.

I’m so happy with this drawing, praying to the kiln gods it survives the firing!!

Every now and then I'm lucky enough to have a commission that just kinda... lets me do whatever I want. If I remember right, this client just asked me to paint the Grim Reaper, however I felt like representing him. Coolest job in the world? Maybe

Some pictures I took while watering plants today. #flowers #roses

Me when I see a wilted planted at work. #nursery

My bare root David Austin Lady Of Shalott roses arrived yesterday (look at them roots!)! I soaked them overnight and planted them. Last photo is what they will (hopefully) look like one day. #davidaustinrose #davidaustinroses #gardening #barerootroses

Watched Silver Bullet last night and loved it. Proving again that 80’s movies just hit different.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. HARD MODE: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

Winter sowing success! Look at them roots! Two varieties were ready to be planted out in two big drifts of marshmallow yarrow (first pic) and blue hyssop. I had my husband use a bulb auger on his drill to do the holes and it worked great! #wintersowing #seedlings #gardening

Can it please stop freezing. I only have so many blankets and sheets to cover plants with. 🥲 #gardening

My husband is watching (on YouTube) a man dressed like a ninja build the the shed we’re assembling this weekend. I love the internet sometimes. #youtube

Finally healed enough to paint. It's been a year since I last finished a painting, so I'm warming up by redoing an older piece that I never felt was totally finished. Lady of the Ivy. Feels appropriate to post her on Earth Day. 🌱

Having too much to do in the garden is a blessing and a curse. #gardening
