How I Make Mushroom Ink ❀ Hello friends ❀One of my all time favorite things to do is go forage. I love foraging plants and herbs, but foraging mushrooms holds a very special place in ...

This beautiful no-named lady came to life this evening. What name comes up for you when you see her? 🌿

I woke up a few mornings ago with a renewed energy. It sprung forth out of a burning desire for freedom, to have all the time that I want — to be creative. To be my own boss and decide what my day looks like. To have the ability to rest when needed and work hard because I want to. To go slow. To grow in my passion and craft, a student of life. To create a life for myself where there is space. It truly feels like there is no other way for me anymore; we have been living this free life for too long, and there is no turning back. This is what I need to do, and it requires a leap of faith into the clouds, face forward, and fly free. No time to think or worry — following the flow. ☁️

Maui muse 🌺

In a grey and rainy winter, I’m dreaming of visiting this place for the first time. So many strings have been pulling us towards this island. This drawing emerged while listening to traditional Hawaiian slack key guitar pieces and whale sounds. 🐋🐚

A reflection on the past year and some of the creations that came forth… 2023 has been challenging, but that’s okay. I’ve grown and learned and that’s all anyone can really do. To move forward with an open heart while facing the storms and soaking in the beauty. Sending love to you all on here. 2024 will be a potent year for this little creative space of mine, I feel it… ✨

A full moon flower for you 🌝

Been loving the texture pack and playing around with other texture brushes and stamps. Creative exploration and releasing expectations is just what the doctor ordered. 🌱

Guardian of the forest • oct ‘23 🌳🦌

Our september days were filled with grief and goodbyes. While it’s all finding its place in my heart, it feels good to nestle in the sweet slowness of autumn. Remembering what is truly important and letting go of what is no longer serving me. Wandering in forest and field. A soft surrendering to the river of life.

A flower for your friday 🌸

Through all the heaviness and darkness, may peace and love and unity shine through. Being kind and peaceful to one another is such a powerful thing to do in times of turmoil. Hate will never put an end to hate, it can only be done with love.🕊️

Logo for Caramelle Care 🌷

Very happy with how this logo turned out. I’m grateful for the twists and turns of the process, which is not always easy or in my comfort zone, but feels so rewarding when brought to a beautiful completion.

Thank you to all the people who’ve already dived into the creation process with me, thank you for the trust 🤎🌝

Thank you Hannah 🌸

An ode to the sun and the light, filling the darkening days with soft summer goodbyes — happy autumn equinox blessings to all 🍂

✵ Song For the Morning Star ✵

One from a while back. Found this drawing again and poured some new love into it. We have been back in the homeland for a while now and there’s confusion in the air. A feeling of uncertainty— what is coming next? We know what we want (kinda) but how will we be able to go in that direction? Society sure makes it difficult sometimes, to carve your own path, walk to the rhythm and beat of your own heart. Feeling all the heaviness while also being so grateful for all the opportunities that we have. The beautiful duality of life. Nothing left to do but smile and see where the river of life is leading us to. May you all have an inspiring day 🌓

"People need celebration in their life. It's part of what it means to be human. We need magic and bliss and power, myth, and celebration in our lives. And music is a good way to encapsulate a lot of it." - Jerry Garcia

words by 🌷

deep breaths — a mantra for the intense full moon energy of the past few days. I am the silence beneath it all. I am loving awareness. Sweet surrender to the flow. 💘

Being held, being carried. Soft heart, sweet release. A moontime drawing 🌙

Quote by Suzy Kassem — one to hold close to the heart. 💘

Mushroom medicine + moon magic 🌝

Just me trying to release deeply rooted self limiting beliefs and just draw and don’t think about anything too much and stop trying to do everything perfect and enjoy the process, while also feeling deeply into the the new moon energy and my own moontime that’s stirred into the potion of life which leaves us with a big beautiful mess of being human. What a journey, but here for it all. :) 🤲🏼

Ain’t that just the way :)

A quote that sticks with me, embracing the change. How scary it might be sometimes, clinging to what was is even more uncomfortable most of the time. Release, trust. The wheel is turning. ☸️

I purchased ‘s Digital Drawing Basics course today and just a few lessons in, I feel the urge of sharing how much I am loving it. If you are interested in drawing digitally and are wondering where to start, Vero’s course is a wonderful place. She shares handy tips and tricks and discusses all the tools you need to begin + she shares her philosophy on art, starting your own art biz and more. So valuable and inspiring. Thank you Vero. 🤎

First design for a grateful dead themed sticker collection I want to get out into the world. 🌞

Dancing to this live music is truly one of the most beautiful heart-opening experiences I’ve ever had and diving head first into the amazing rabbit hole that is grateful dead music has been one of the best things to happen these past five years.

We’ll be heading back to the North American continent probably not too long from now and I just can’t wait to meet up with all my beautiful friends and dance together. See you soon! 🌹

Flowery pattern — working on a shop update and I think this pattern is going to make some groovy products. 🌼
