nature always finds a way 🍀

Just a few fireflies in Smoky Mountain National Park, TN. These are synchronous fireflies and the males flash their lanterns in bursts of light that look like waves through the forest. Then they all go dark at once, watching for females to flash back. #ArtAdventCalendar (Photinus carolinus)

I don’t want to be an inspiration, I want to pursue my own little weirdo dreams with such vigor and passion that it confuses and disgusts people

Who else has played Slay the Princess? I bought it in the steam sale and played it for around an hour and it’s definitely something different #slaytheprincess

‘To be Loved’ one of my absolute favourites from this year #embroidery #fibreart #beadwork

‘A Gilded Chain is Still a Chain’ I made this in tribute to the medieval Unicorn Tapestries. In the final tapestry the unicorn is imprisoned under a pomegranate tree that is dripping. I imagined if she escaped, she would want to destroy the tree and its fruits! #unicorn #art #painting #embroidery

Pacific Bleeding Heart I found in a small redwood forest in California #nature

Jeremy Miranda, The Deep End

It was more of an accident but I just love this painting in black and white.

I don't know if posting here is worth it but have some old #xfiles studies anyway

One of my first embroidery projects I made back in August thanks to threadhandedjills tutorial on Etsy. #embroidery
