The time has come for #folktaleweek2024 ✨ I’m thrilled to join this creative journey with my piece for the theme Mist. During my morning walks with my dog, foxes often make an appearance, so they inspired me to feature this charming character in my artwork. 🌿🦊

Bow down, honeys 🍯👑 Veronica isn’t just a basic bee, she’s the Queen Beetch! 🐝💅 A little sass, a lot of class, and a whole hive of style. 🖌️✨

For this piece, I experimented with bold black and white lines to create striking contrast and drama. The minimal shadowing brings just enough depth to highlight the details while keeping the design clean and modern. It’s all about letting the sass shine through the simplicity! ✍️✨

🌙 Neon Magic 🐇✨
Here’s another take on the “Magic Foxglove” theme for the #MysticFloraChallenge! This time, I’ve added a glowing bunny holding a delicate foxglove, bringing out those magical, neon vibes. I’m having so much fun exploring new ways to showcase these enchanted flowers! Big thanks to the amazing hosts who made this challenge possible 💖

Here’s my second piece for the #MysticFloraChallenge!

🛸🚿 Woke up, checked the news… and yeah, I’m feeling all the feels. I’ve been through sadness, anger, frustration—you name it—but today’s vibe? F this sh@t, I’m out. And you know what? That’s okay.

Sometimes we just need a break: step outside, call a friend, or (like me) pour a glass of wine and let it out creatively. 🍷🎨 But let’s not forget—it’s not over. Kamala has sparked something big, and this movement needs each of us more than ever. Let’s take that breath, then get back to it. 💪✨

🌌🦑 After the amazing response to my previous design with the UFO attempting to abduct a cactus, I thought it was time to take my little extraterrestrial friend on a new adventure! This time, it's a giant squid's turn! 🛸✨

🎃 Pumpkins & Pastels 🎃

✨ Treats & Tarot ✨

For me, an iced latte is the perfect treat after achieving something big (or small!) 🧋☕ Whether it’s finishing a project or reaching a personal goal, this is my little reward! My design for the #ScaryAndSweet2024 challenge reflects that moment of indulgence. I had a lot of fun blending tarot vibes with my favorite treat!
