the puppet is beautiful, the thoughts are beautiful, and the contradictions and traits all feel so familiar that your acceptance of them makes me appreciate myself more. <3 thank you for putting words—and textures, and colors—to these feelings.
Oh, that's so lovely to hear, Kate, thank you! You are an incredible, strange and wonderful, full of intricacies, capable of many things, complex person and I hope we can accept and celebrate everything that means for ourselves and each other more and more every day!
I love this puppet! So cute! This mirrors some things that keep coming up in my writing lately. I like to think of disparate aspects of myself as patchwork I can sew together into something cohesive. In online spaces as an artist it seems like this is discouraged, as you are expected to neatly fit inside a category. Turns out, letting yourself be expansive is really fun AND people find it refreshing when they see you do it!
Thank you, Jeremy! I love the concept of seeing parts of yourself as a patchwork that comes together as a whole, and letting it be whatever weird colors and patterns it is! I wish it were easier not to second-guess presenting that (without trying to tidy it all up) to the world all the time, but I'm working on it!
Thank you so much, Rikki! And what an amazing compliment--that's everything I could possibly hope for, to have something I create make you feel seen. Sending lots of love to every bit of your incredible, paradoxical neurodivergent brain! 🧡

This is darling! I love all of the little bits and how colorful it is. It also helps me feel seen in all of my paradoxical neurodivergent awesomeness.
