I found this fabric at the thrift and immediately knew it needed a second chance 🧵

The “preformative male” collection

Two days later ❄️ 💕

Over the past few years, I slowly fell out of love with creating. After graduating from college and stepping into a full time job, life started to feel heavy and fast paced. Personal stress, responsibility, and the pressure of real life made it harder to prioritize art. What used to feel natural and joyful began to feel distant, and I found myself creating less and less.

Recently, though, I decided to push myself back into it, even when I did not feel inspired. I started experimenting with different mediums and letting go of expectations, giving myself permission to just play again. Somewhere in that process, I rediscovered the part of me that loves turning nothing into something. I remembered how grounding and fulfilling it feels to create from scratch, to bring an idea into existence with my own hands.

With a little encouragement from a good friend, I decided to start fresh and make an account dedicated specifically to sharing my art and the other things I enjoy making. This space feels like a new beginning, not just on Tumblr, but creatively too.

I am really excited to connect with a new community, share my work, and continue growing as an artist. Thanks for being here ❤️

Here are some pieces that I made over the last month or so :)
