Repost with the first album you bought with your own money

As near and dear to my heart as it gets, as a mom 🏳️‍⚧️

I don't just make pretty things, I give each one of my creatures a soul. At least in my mind 🥰 Having a shop update today at 2 pm CST with these and a couple more. Each handmade & one of a kind. Range 3-5 inches tall.

Also some cheeky shots from behind (releasing Sun at 2 p central) #clayart

Sunday I'm adding these to the shop at 2 pm central. They are still telling me their names... #mushrooms #handmadeart

I am realizing an app like this may be too fast-paced for someone who is distancing herself from social media 😅 But I do love the vibe and hope that in time I can learn to keep up 😵‍💫🤣

Next up on the show list #supportwomen #femaleartist

Making progress on my fungi kids. Mold was a success and cement test casts coming out nice. #mushrooms #clayart

I wish more game developers would realize graphics are nice, but it's good story writing and engaging character development that most mature gamers want.

Had to push back my new sculpts for a gallery show deadline... making some eyeballs and mixing some paint up from mica powders #wip #biteme

Just keep creating. The world needs your light. Believe me, you can, even when you don't think it's possible ❤️

Repost for all my new friends! I’m all about community care, here is a way for you to help me help.

What are you doing to keep from getting overwhelmed by the seemingly endless acts of political cruelty? No one thing is working so I've been hiking and hiking and hiking. Occasionally I'll make time for art. This calms me enough to call and email our politicians. Then I need to start over again.

Thank you ACLU, NYT, and AOC! ✊

My work is unabashedly handmade. I know that's not for everyone, and that's ok. But I find the soul in the asymmetry. Nature is perfectly imperfect. My creatures come alive shaped by my hands. Maybe I get too attached, but I'm a nurturer by nature 🌱

Today starts #BlackHistoryMonth and this badass sweatshirt from @mahoganymommies says it all. Mahogany Mommies is a Black Woman owned business. Go check out her page, go to her store and buy things. She has so many options, I promise you will find something you have to have.

I love these people

If anything, I'm sparkling harder just to SPITE ✨

Sometimes my simple characters really capture my heart, and I have to make them in many colors. Imp Cat is not done yet!

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

🌱 Found this photo I took last summer in my garden. Baby mantis making me smile today. Nature is my favorite anxiety relief. I'd love to see your nature photos too... #nature #escapereality #shareyourphotos

I just got an order for one of my Protect Trans Kids magnets, one of my fave pieces. If you want one, I make them in various colors. Order and support an independent trans artist. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🛒 VerdantSculpts.com #art #sculpture #bsnm #protectTransKids

Artists, do you ever grapple with the environmental impact of your work? As a figure maker, I certainly do. I try to make small numbers of things that are high quality, less likely to end up in a landfill & switching to more natural materials. But I still think about it, esp when I use resin.

Slowly learning to disconnect my number of sales from my "worth" or "skill" as an artist. Not sure I will ever get back to 2022 levels in that way - but pushing myself to keep creating creatures anyway 🌱 (Chonk is getting a small update before I make a new mold) #clayart #sculpting #fantasyart

It's really strange but after starting to post here, I'm actually getting more attention on Threads. Hmmm... weird. But I'd rather gain traction here and leave Meta behind 😅

The birds tell the truth. Watch their migration patterns. Robins staying all winter the past three years. The geese are already on the move north. White pelicans inland in the midwest all year. Climate change is very real.

This is a great way to hold onto a little hope 🌱

After feeling pretty hopeless I sculpted this little mushroom today. Should I mold them and make an army?

Only one of these left in the shop at the moment. Don’t know when I will be making more of these so be sure to snag it if you want one!

(pin post) Hi, I'm Heather. I created Owlberry Lane with my kids many years ago... Owlberry Lane is an old street inhabited by created creatures - monsters, spirits, mushrooms, owlberries, rabbits, cats, snails, cephalopods, all bouncing around and (usually) friendly... Safe space always 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I stopped supporting Target when they pulled Pride Month merch. That told me everything I needed to know about the backbone of that corporation. #boycotttarget

Sometimes I just want to disappear down Owlberry Lane and never come back to reality... #fantasyart #cottagecore

so cute 🥰

Boris Bunny (or Bunnicula as I call him) jumped up on my desk to say hello. He is all adorable chaos all the time 😆 #housebunny #netherlanddwarf

This is my mantra, this last year especially. Mom life for me will always come first ❤️

The first blue monster I sculpted many years ago. It was about five inches tall. Still almost perfect to me in every way... I miss her
