Three custom Mushkids for a group show this weekend. These are mixed media - I hand-sculpted on resin printed bases!

I'd say over 80% of my art is blue and has been since at least 2016 😆 So here are some fav oldies 💙💙💙💙

I don't just make pretty things, I give each one of my creatures a soul. At least in my mind 🥰 Having a shop update today at 2 pm CST with these and a couple more. Each handmade & one of a kind. Range 3-5 inches tall.

I am realizing an app like this may be too fast-paced for someone who is distancing herself from social media 😅 But I do love the vibe and hope that in time I can learn to keep up 😵‍💫🤣

I wish more game developers would realize graphics are nice, but it's good story writing and engaging character development that most mature gamers want.

What are you doing to keep from getting overwhelmed by the seemingly endless acts of political cruelty? No one thing is working so I've been hiking and hiking and hiking. Occasionally I'll make time for art. This calms me enough to call and email our politicians. Then I need to start over again.

My work is unabashedly handmade. I know that's not for everyone, and that's ok. But I find the soul in the asymmetry. Nature is perfectly imperfect. My creatures come alive shaped by my hands. Maybe I get too attached, but I'm a nurturer by nature 🌱

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I just got an order for one of my Protect Trans Kids magnets, one of my fave pieces. If you want one, I make them in various colors. Order and support an independent trans artist. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🛒 VerdantSculpts.com #art #sculpture #bsnm #protectTransKids

Artists, do you ever grapple with the environmental impact of your work? As a figure maker, I certainly do. I try to make small numbers of things that are high quality, less likely to end up in a landfill & switching to more natural materials. But I still think about it, esp when I use resin.

Slowly learning to disconnect my number of sales from my "worth" or "skill" as an artist. Not sure I will ever get back to 2022 levels in that way - but pushing myself to keep creating creatures anyway 🌱 (Chonk is getting a small update before I make a new mold) #clayart #sculpting #fantasyart

It's really strange but after starting to post here, I'm actually getting more attention on Threads. Hmmm... weird. But I'd rather gain traction here and leave Meta behind 😅

The birds tell the truth. Watch their migration patterns. Robins staying all winter the past three years. The geese are already on the move north. White pelicans inland in the midwest all year. Climate change is very real.

After feeling pretty hopeless I sculpted this little mushroom today. Should I mold them and make an army?

(pin post) Hi, I'm Heather. I created Owlberry Lane with my kids many years ago... Owlberry Lane is an old street inhabited by created creatures - monsters, spirits, mushrooms, owlberries, rabbits, cats, snails, cephalopods, all bouncing around and (usually) friendly... Safe space always 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Baby Chonk the Monster and Owlberry, two handmade figurines which are painted in signature blue.

If you're one of those "positive vibes only" people... just no. Get outta here with that. Shit is absolute bananas and being silent about it is part of the problem. If you aren't affected you're as privileged as it gets. Yeah maybe I need some coffee but imma still be pissed afterwards.

When I cast figures, a lot of times I use a cement blend I mix from natural materials. It feels different, it's smooth and weighty. I still use resin sometimes, but prefer this and hey it's kinda cool I developed it myself. It took me several years to perfect 😆
