I retrieved my old wood monitor stands from work and decided to incorporate them into my workspace. I now have more room and better designated spaces. The cat also loves it😅

Hey everyone! Just a quick heads-up ~ we’ll be a little quieter here this weekend since the ACI team will be out at an event! 💫 We’re so excited to meet new folks, share our work, and spread the word about what we do here together as a community! If you’re local, come say hi ~ and if not, don’t worry! We’ll be back soon with updates, photos, and maybe even a few stories from the weekend. Event: Spooktober @ Basic City Beer Co. for everyone local~! Saturday and Sunday (12PM-6PM) Keep creating, keep connecting, and we’ll see you after the event! 💛

I’m not super loving this piece (it’s not done and needs some cleaning up) but it’s not awful for my first time back at it in over a year. This particular lump I used-Not the white lump in the picture, but the gray- is super hard and sort of difficult to work with. Not sure how the finished product will look but it’s a start. It was really difficult to do while managing babies. They very much need full attention for the most part, we aren’t quite at a place of independent play or even parallel play yet. I also chose one of the more complex designs I had in my head, so that made it extra challenging! Yesterday set the baseline for expectations and today I will try again with a new design and new clay with a fresh understanding how to manage babies and creating! The pictures included are of my workspace, my piece in progress and closer to finished as well as some thumbnail doodles on mail envelopes.

We’re so excited to have two amazing creatives join us this week: ✨ @Kristen Butryn — glitter queen empiress extraordinaire, bringing sparkle and shine to everything she touches.🎨 @Clark Huggins — the brilliant mind behind Reckless Deck, here to share inspiration and creativity with us. Let’s give them both a huge welcome in the comments below 👋💜 ~ and feel free to share a little about your own work so they can get to know you too!

Sneak peek at my new hats! They are fully reversible witch and sun hats. ☺️ What do you guys think of the color combos? I’m more sure of some than others.
