No, please don’t be hesitant to post – that butterfly pin is beautiful! Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Thank you for sharing.

I’ve been staring at your post for about an hour. I don’t know what to say but I don’t want to leave without saying anything…

Hi kiara, nice to meet you. 🧡

When infrastructure is too centralized, gatekeepers gain new powers to capture, enshittify, and censor. The result is a system that becomes less useful, less stable, and with more costs put on access. Science thrives on sharing and access equity, and its future depends on a global and democratic revolt against predatory centralized platforms.

Amen to that.

This just brought back fond memories. Thank you. 🧡

Wow, thank you!

All of my props and backdrops came from thrift shops, close-out sales. Most of them are unique and intricate fabrics or bedsheets; the plain white is my go-to for people or objects (it still has the mark from an old hospital that closed down).

• I hung a bedsheet over paracord tied to two coat racks. This works very well but the challenge is keeping the sheets wrinkle-free. Enter iron.

• folding screen that I got at thrift store was reproduced by a friend using louvered closet doors she purchased at a hardware store.

• I also used the biggest 3M reusable wall hook and used a cheap tension rod to hold a bedsheet.

• have a look at an Ikea catalog for ideas as well. I purchased their big aluminum (i think) hooks and screwed them on the wall to hang seasonal props and bunting.

EDIT: Craft and Fabric stores are always advertising sales. If you have time, check out their fabric-by-the yard sale or pre-primed canvas. The canvas can be double purpose: backdrop and create artwork. I have several: propped on an easel, leaning on a wall, etc. It’s lightweight enough to be portable if you don’t frame it. Have fun!
