Interesting what you can find while packing to move... The little statuette on the left is an old gift I've had since I was about 8. I found it recently after it had been in a box for 12 years. The pic on the right is a character I created in 2014 for a story I haven't touched in a while. After finding the statuette, I stopped and realized it had been in the back of my mind for years and that's how I came up with my character's design. Everything is so similar, except for the eyes. It's interesting where you can find inspiration, whether it be subconscious or not. I was surprised, but happy that I had something to inspire creating my character Cirenth. You never know where inspiration will come from. #oldtoyfromchildhood #packingfinds #inspiration #subconsciouscreation #mermaidoc #thankyouwhoevergavemethis #backtopacking #justthoughtishouldshare

A billion years ago, I was a long term sub in a 5th grade class. I will forever consider those kids my first class, even though they were only mine for a little while. I can still perfectly picture the little girl this note came from. It boggles my mind that she's a high schooler now. #packingfinds https://www.instagram.com/p/B-X9xBQJWm_/?igshid=7y906lpcqofi

Maybe she is two faced? #masc4mascara #packingfinds #canthisbeoveralready (at Bedford Styvesant, Brooklyn)
