3D printing bookmarks - they're like small paintings!

These kinds of prints are made with software called Hueforge. I downloaded this free model, but I might have to download Hueforge to try making my own sometime!

You deserve to feel safe being yourself.

 Do it because it makes you happy.  Don't do it to try and "fit in".  You belong.  You are worthy.  Do what makes you happy.  I used to make decisions based on making other people happy.  It didn't work.  I was still a disappointment, plus I was unhappy.  Now I prioritize my own happiness. ☺️  It's hard to break out of being a people pleaser.  I think this is important to remember:  If you don't feel safe being yourself around them, you are better off without them.  You deserve to feel safe being yourself.

I 3D printed spirograph gears. 😁 Having fun making all sorts of rainbow shapes. 🌈

 

Gradient Painting

 I wanted to practice color blending today, so I made a grid on my paper with masking tape and got out my tempura paint (the cheap kid paint you get at Walmart). Note for future self: remember to stick the tape to your shirt first next time so it doesn't rip the paper!

Working on a rainbow jellyfish. :)

  I'm using this pattern,   https://www.savagelystitching.com/blogs/free-patterns/crochet-jellyfish-free-pattern   (thanks, Vanessa!), but with regular red heart yarn, a 4.0 mm hook, and legs that are only 16 stitches long.  These little guys crochet up so fast, I'm making a bunch in all different colors of yarn!
