#BlueSkyArtShow #abandoned #EastCoastKin Prized childhood possession. Purple banana bike, my sister's pink one behind it, put into the old barn to rest. . .and there it stayed. I just stumbled upon this picture today. It was when my parents sold their farm. If only we could go back one more time.

Happy #Caturday! This is the coolest cat we have ever had. Peppercorn was part of a feral catch & release program in town and he came to live with us on our farm. He LOVES everyone (whether they like it or not) including the dogs, goats, and chickens. #cat #cats #catsofbluesky #catlover

Divide & Geometric #FebruArty #FebArt 2/22 Illusion This is the most difficult #handmade #soap I have ever done. Alternating lines give it an awesome optical illusion effect. Soapmaking can be very stimulating! The video is on my YT channel. #monochrome #artyear #art #artist #eastcoastkin #bath

#FebruArty #FishyFebruary Into the Deep I won first place with this #Handmade #Soap in an international advanced design challenge. A stunning deep sea #scape design with a unique teardrop, seabed, seahorse, and fish. I'm enjoying this one in my shower now! #artyear #art #artshare #eastcoastkin

#FebruArty 2/20 Turquoise Stone Water Garden This #handmade #soap was a 4H Visual Arts project for my youngest. I helped her make the base of the soap, but she created the rest of the design out of soap to emulate a water feature. See alt text for more! #artyear #water #functionalart #art #youth

#ArtYear #FebruArty Rosewood I made a series of #handmade #soap designs as a study on wood grain techniques. I wanted to emulate the look of rosewood with this particular batch - I love how it has almost translucent marbled layers! More info in the alt text. #wood #art #eastcoastkin #home

It is definitely a #Snow day here in the Midwest! In the last 5 years or so, most of our precipitation seems to happen at night. It is immensely enjoyable to have a full day to watch the snow! This #handmade ☃️ #soap is perfect for today. #artyear #snowflake #art #functionalart #winter

#FebruArty 2/16 Big & Small Golden Rose This gorgeous garden is actually #handmade #soap! This is the top of the soap before I cut it into bars. Delicate roses with piped leaves. It has a beautiful, buttery soft #rose fragrance. I do have a few of these left! #artyear #garden #homedecor #bath

#FebruArty 2/12 #Orange Coconut 🥥 Lime 🍋‍🟩 Verbena Handmade #Soap It smells so good! Gotta love the strong Lisa Frank 80s/90s color vibes! I do not use #orange very much, I need to remedy that in the future! I love the tiger stripes in this one. #artyear #art #handmade #functionalart #homedecor

#FebruArty #SensoryArt 2/11 Sweet Cherry Pie! Handmade #Soap - So fun and so deliciously sweet (smelling)! Cherry, almond, and a touch of hazelnut makes this an amazing washing experience - Even the lattice "pie crust" is made from soap. #art #artyear #functionalart #homedecor

#ArtYear #FebruArty Molecular #Handmade #Soap is a unique geometric design. Although I realized I had made an error about halfway through the creation process, I pushed through & won Sponsor's Choice in an international soap competition. The video for this is now up on my YT channel. #art #home

#blueskyartshow Reflections Turquoise Silhouette These are two of my favorite reflection shots of my Handmade #Soap. I try to be as sustainable as possible using locally sourced ingredients and biodegradable packaging. #artyear #handmade #homedecor #functionalart

#ArtYear #FunctionalArt Sometimes it is fun to play around with ideas that may be a little ridiculous! Art emulates life, right? I might have a slight La Croix addiction. I thought it would be fun to make #handmade #soap using La Croix not only in the recipe but also the design! #art #artshare

#FebruArty #Eyes My daughter took this picture with an old point & shoot camera while playing (early 2010s). No filter or editing. I found this on the camera quite a while later. I don't use eyes as much with handmade #soap but Monster Melon & Yip-Yips always bring me joy! #art #artyear #handmade
