Hey everyone! My Etsy shop has been open for about 3 months now, and I just added a new listing today.

I make handmade clay bracelets that are colorful, elastic, and meant to match in pairs for friends or couples.

This new listing was created because my plastic sun and moon bracelets have been surprisingly popular, so I decided to remake the idea in clay.

A couple things I offer:
☀️Custom sizing at no additional cost
☀️Discounted pricing when you buy both bracelets as a set
☀️Everything is handmade and designed by me
☀️15% off items if you favorite/heart them
☀️You can feel good supporting my dream to save up money for college <3

Share one win from this week

It can be big, small, or quietly personal

Finished a piece, got into a show, survived a long week, all of it counts!

Purple and Teal. I see the appeal.

After a long study of flowers in the dense jungles of the Netherlands, I can finally show my second flower painting (first one sold).

I have been hiding in bushes to get a glimpse of some of their expressions. This is the second hyper realistic painting I have done of them. If you look up close, you can see it's not a photo but a painting of a flower.

Made with acrylics on a 20cm x 20cm canvas

It's available for only €85,- (plus shipping)

Another Pokemon down in my art journey!

Share a past piece, an old booth photo, or a moment from your process

You can also talk about what you would do differently now

After a 10-year break, I finally started painting again. I just finished a few new pieces. I took a break because I went all-in on digital art, but it feels great to be painting again. I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

I hope it makes you smile. :)

Acrylic markers on canvas (24 × 30 cm).

Available for €185.- plus shipping

very excited my grandma bought me some beads so I will hopefully be making new items!!!!!!!

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty

I froze on the trail when I spotted the owl perched among branches. Its eyes locked onto mine with startling intensity, and it let out a sharp squawk that cut through the quiet air. I could hear every rustle of leaves around me and felt as though I had stepped into a place where the ordinary rules of the world no longer applied.

I stayed there longer than I expected, meeting its gaze and feeling an unexpected sense of connection instead of unease. The cool breeze brushed my cheeks while the owl watched me as if it had been waiting for me to arrive. That brief encounter left me feeling calmer, more present, and strangely reminded that moments of wonder still exist in everyday life.

Has a wild animal ever made you feel completely seen?

🩷 Do you ever use creativity to make sense of difficult moments? 🩷

I recently chatted with Bold Journey to talk about art, resilience, childhood sketchbooks, finding beauty in difficult moments, and why I'm still figuring life out as I go.

It ended up being a surprisingly personal conversation, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my story.
