where I live we do a little spring market thing where people can sell some stuff they’ve made, so I thought I might as well post some of the ones I’ll be doing today. Except the one with the girl holding flowers.. I forgot that one even though I like it...

First post? Hmm, let’s see... How about my profile picture? Sure, let’s do that.

I wasn’t sure what I should post so I did a mermaid, but I just really want to say, Thank you so much for one hundred (and two) followers !!💚 thank you \•/

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!🍰🎂🎊🎉🎊🎉

Awwwww thank you!!!!! 💚💚💚💚💚

just in case anyone doesn’t know :)

notre dame is burning.

this is ok.

it has happened before. it will happen again. it has been lost before. it will be lost again. and again. and again. and again. art and architecture are transient, and temporary, and 850 years may seem like a lot to the individual, who will live maybe 100 if they are very lucky and very healthy, but even the pyramids at saqqara have only existed for about 6000 years and that’s still not all that much, if you consider the grand scheme of things.

yes, this is terrible. as someone who is deeply religious and literally a professional historian with a focus on art and architecture, this is terrible. im mourning. im gutted. im horrified and upset and miserable. but.

it’s not over.

victor hugo wrote hunchback because notre dame du paris was in the process of collapsing and falling apart, and revitalized the entire world’s focus and love for this church, and that was not even 200 years ago. it led to it being renovated.

the roof has fallen in. the scars of fires are on its buttresses. the rose window has fallen out. the beams and piers have collapsed. the spire has toppled. the stones have suffered, and will suffer again, but it is not gone.

renovation work is essential. sometimes things collapse and burn and break and have to come back. it’s not a terrorist attack, it’s renovation, an accident, but we have so much evidence, history, carefully documented everything on one of the most studied places in the world.

it’s not the end.

Another.... goopy person?? Idk what to call them??

here’s a random drawing I made in like thirty minutes, it’s not the best but I like it ^.^

Once you get this you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly, then send this on to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is super cool!) :D

Oh! Okay ^.^Okay five things I like about myself..I like my haircut, and that I can make art that I’m proud of, I like that I want to learn, I like being able to make myself get out of bed early, and I like that I can sew! Does that all count? Thank you so much for the ask! \o/

Surprise! Another drawing... thing I wanted to try a new style thing, faces hairstyles, features and the like. So...
