H'okay, so, here's the earth...
It's posting day! I of course went with my favorite picture you can hear, and a video I still quote 23(!) years later. Mars is definitely laughing at us.

Hi friends! Today is my final day of having work at Fonta Flora Brewery , I'm grateful to have had my work displayed for the month of July. If you haven't had a chance to come see everything or buy a piece for yourself I'll be at the pub this evening for a bit with hand painted tote bags and stickers and I'd love to see you.
I admit this month wasn't what I had hoped it would be, spending the weeks before/during very sick instead of being able to work on projects for this display was not exactly what I had planned, but I'm thankful for the opportunity and already thinking about next year.

Happy Pride Month 💙🏳️‍🌈💖 resharing my rainbow DMC floss thread palette for anyone who needs a starting point for their patterns. As with all of my thread palettes, free to use and share, and please tag me in your creations, I'd love to see them!
This palette is based on the 1980 six color flag that evolved from the original Baker/Segerblom eight color flag. I've gone a little into the history of the color evolution in older posts, let me know if you want to learn more!
A friendly reminder, Pride is the perfect time to uplift and support q***r voices and q***r artists rather than to profit off of them- if you're a q***r artist shout yourself out in the comments!
