#elevateyourig

Thank you everyone!! 🏆I simply cannot believe how quickly these golden beauties sold out yesterday. I guess you like them, eh? So, here's my plan. I'm going to dye some more of these this weekend. And I'm going to dye some gorgeous silver too. I've got a pre-order listing 🏆link in bio🏆 Grab your shiny silky yarn today. 100% silk, lace weight. Thank you @taraswiger and @joelicreates for the #ElevateYourIG challenge that has helped me to make connections and given the courage to let me art shine! #yarnovernewyork #yony #crochetersofinstagram #knit #crochet #knitaddict #knittersofinstagram #knittersofig #knittersofnewyork #knittersoftheworld #yarn #yarnaddict #handyedyarn #instaknit #indiedyer #indiedesigner #indiedyedyarn #dyeing #smallbusiness #spungold #solidgold #basestudy #silk #parkave #parkavenue

Each day I try to grow a little more by keeping an open mind, learning something new, observing the world around me and connecting with others near and far. Instagram, and other social media platforms too, offer such an amazing opportunity for people to unite around the world...we may not be able to travel with our tribe hand-in-hand, but we can still be joined through this pretty magical realm of interconnectedness right here! . . . #elevateyourig ~ today marks day 4 and it's been such an illuminating and wonderful journey so far! Thank you @joelicreates & @taraswiger for creating this challenge 💘 I truly look forward to working on them each day.

I find so much peace, joy and inspiration from spending time outdoors. What brings you joy, peace and inspiration? #elevateyourig #beingoutdoors #exploreyourworld #hikeCT (at Roaring Brook Nature Center)

I created my Pocket full of Dice bag as a dice bag, but there's so much more you can do with a drawstring bag. What would you put in yours? #elevateyourig #drawstring #bag #dicebag #knitter #knitting #selanasdesigns #handarbeitskram

Day 2 of the #elevateyourig with @taraswiger & @joelicreates is to make sure my bio is in tip top shape...I opted to update my profile pic too! This is always a challenging one for me, but I think I've done an alright job. What do you think?

Smile, it's a good day! I've joined @taraswiger & @joelicreates in their #elevateyourig challenge! Today's task is to share something that'll help you get to know me better, so here it goes.... I LOVE natural history, A LOT, and I especially enjoy taxidermy. I love drawing mounted specimens (the odd looking ones, like this beaver, are the best) from life, as well as skulls, plants, rocks and minerals too. I have spent over 10 years working with Natural History Collections in a professional capacity as a Naturalist, Curator, Museum Educator, Taxidermy Restorer and Art Teacher. I strongly believe that learning about our natural world is vital to having an appreciation for it past, present and future. #taxidermyart #illustration #penandink #ludwig #naturalist #exploreyourworld #beaver
