Next painting collection here we go! You’d think I wouldn’t put off doing the thing I most love doing (making art), but I drag my feet getting started bc it’s kinda scary right up until I actually start... p.s. if you don’t have something Crayola on hand at all times who are you and what is your life??
Never thought we’d have to defend keeping families together. Sounds pretty self-evident and unalienable to me. When I hear insane news, I immediately want to do something to help, but feel overwhelmed with what that something should be. I know it’s one of the biggest things I can do, but the words “call your Congress members” scare the crap out of me. If you have crazy irrational phone anxiety like me, you get it. In my justification to avoid calling I reasoned that, living in LA, my Congress member is already voting my way and wouldn’t I be preaching to the choir and wasting everyone’s time? ...But I got over these lame excuses by reading articles about what our calls actually do (@newyorkermag) and now I plan to call Congress as often as I can for as long as I need to. Even if you live in a district with like-minded officials, it helps to give them the numbers and the proof that their people have a pulse and want their values represented * * Call 202-224-3121. State your zip code. When connected, tell them “I live in ___. I support SB3036, the ‘Keep Families Together Act’” * How to call if you’re a scaredy cat: https://bit.ly/2MD4c5v 🐱
The #1 thing I consume online is probably house tours. I live for them. YouTube, Apartment Therapy, Pinterest, Domino... I wish I could see inside everyone’s home, even the terrible ones because you know there’s always at least some kind of hidden gem laying around 💎 Also maybe #1 thing I miss about living in NY is seeing that Rear-Window-esque diorama of open windows at night. 😬 I don’t mean for spying on people, but for seeing all the different ways they use their spaces.
Cool for the summer 😎
New bff, soulmate, life partner @friendofallglass 😍😍😍
Gradient color transitions are the most magical things ever to me. Making them 3D with thread is even more fun and I wanna do it all day #colornerd 🤓
I’d like all of this, please! @dobbinstcoop 😍😍😍🙌🙌 📷 #regram
🌈 Dusty Rose 🌈 Pink Clay 🌈 Cactus 🌈 Gold Lion 🌈 My thread colors tend to inspire new names with each collection, for General Store it’s #desertvibes all the way (and a little @yeahyeahyeahs bc that’s what’s playing a lot of the time in the studio 🦁)
Paint has always made me giddy, I’ve had my hands covered in the stuff since I was a kid. Growing up, I painted everything in sight - furniture and Barbie houses and walls and wooden jewelry beads and my clothes. I loved painting on real things, not just flat canvas. That’s why I still try to make my paintings as physical and 3D as possible
I’m getting so into this neutral color thing, it’s opening up a whole new world (cue magic carpet) ...but don’t worry I’ve also got something very neon in the works 😉
