Early in the semester, I decided to track the decay of a sunflower leaf on a daily basis with the goal of creating a stop motion animation and "touring" over the surface of the leaf as it broke down.
The connection with my project is that the details on the leaf's structure (its veins and venules) remind me of the brain and I was hoping to capture that degradation.
I set up a small studio at home, with a strobe and soft box, put the sunflower leaf on top of that and positioned my camera directly above.
Unfortunately, by late November, I decided to terminate it because the leaf was not breaking down. Below is a simple stop motion clip of the images I took (no tour over the surface).
Friendship with ‘trying to learn embroidery’ is over (for now, French knots are hard)
New friendship started with ‘trying to learn crochet’ (I’m buying yarn either today or tomorrow and a friend’s gonna teach me some basics via videocall)
I know it’s been months since Afterlife but listen,,, Angel!Scott was such an iconic look!!! I’m pretty sure I’ve painted this skin more times that it appeared in episodes but still. I’m a sucker for anything gold and shiny 🤩🤩🤩
These plants will change more during the seasons. These plants now look great indoors. i have added the infant interaction to these. Ranch hands can harvest these plants. Now these plants have buffs. Last but not least, I have added French translations by OswaNily. I also updated tags on these, and they are compatible with LMS Transfer Inventory mod. If you would like to see some of these changes before hopping into your game, take a look on each plants' individual page through the slideshow. Enjoy!

Please note that Chinese and Simplified Chinese translations have been temporarily removed, and Patreon will get these updates at a later time.
I guess I should post some art huh. I’m working on the comic a lot, but that’s not exciting to show, because 1) it’s slow and minuscule progress and 2) a lot of sketchbook work, storyboarding, and plot bunnies.
Instead of like to share this #inkwork . 11x17” this is called ‘Where are the bodies buried’. With the exception of the orange fox and the Prussian blue on the arms/hands, this is entirely in ink. The only arms I had available were mine, so that’s what’s been placed into the work.
In 2021, I submitted this piece to my local Art Association Juried show; every year the Arts Association pulls together some funds and flies a guest artist up to Fairbanks, Alaska (in the coldest part of winter 😱🥶) and they select their favorite pieces. This is the ONLY show the FAA allows the general public to submit work for, all the others are pre-selected and carefully curated (ive applied and never been selected can u believe). I was honored to have ‘Where are the bodies buried’ selected and featured. I really thought it was too dark, but, I guess it resonated.
I didn’t have a plan, but I did have a “rough draft” that turned out to be interesting:
It’s clearly unfinished, but has potential imo. A totally different vibe than the above. The ballerina is directly pulled from a particular D*sn*y princess glow up. The layout is directly pulled from my childhood home, the source of all my trauma 🤫
The beagle has fell a sleep and the barely waking up of plants place on back and around then leaf on head for photoshoot.

a few days ago a coworker was walking around with a giant leaf after coming back from the garden at our work & it was such a strange experience i felt compelled to draw it
