So I haven't written a journal entry since Filbert got my first DD, and haven't been very active on DA much either, but now I need to say a big thank you again to for suggesting The May Queen, and much love and thanks to everyone who commented and added it to favorites and groups! It's an old piece but one I'm still fond of, and I'm honored that it struck a chord with so many other people.

To new followers and old friends, a quick update on where I am in art & life: I'm not making much of my own work at the moment because I'm super busy being a first-year full-time art teacher! It's a crazy, all-consuming job, but I get to work with over 200 inspiring young artists, and hopefully once summer comes around I'll have time and energy again to work on my own projects.

I also want to give a shout out & thanks to the person who donated her beautiful hair to the May Queen assemblage: if you like my gallery, you will probably love the work of my partner, , who is currently making lots of new and beautiful things and has opened commissions!

Thanks again, hope to be back with more art in a little while!
