An illustration of purple flowers with the text : belladonna
A wall of text about the history of belladonna flowers.
An illustration of purple flowers surrounded by phases of the moon.
Next in my Language of Flowers series: Belladonna. โ ๏ธ There are quite a few flowers that are both beautiful and toxic, but one of the most infamous (esp in pop culture) is Belladonna, aka Deadly Nightshade. Victorians added it to bouquets to symbolize silence. Perhaps as a threat or omen?

An illustration of pink and cream dogwood flowers on a branch under the title "Dogwood".
Fun facts about Dogwood listed on a purple background.
A flower vase full of pink, cream, and purple blooms and green leaves. On the white vase is an illustration of a sword piercing a crescent moon.
I'm going to start sharing more about the meanings behind the flowers I use in my work through a new little Language of Flowers series. To start: Dogwood! The Victorians used them in bouquets to represent Duration and Durability, most likely because they're hearty and have been around a long time.

A hand with the middle and pointer fingers crossed, surrounded by pink and yellow flowers, green leaves, and red ladybugs, on a dark purple background.
A purple background that says For Luck at the top. There are 4 illustrations: a yellow flower that says "Lesser Celandine: Joys to come." A green 4 leaf clover that says "clover: good luck." A pink flower that says: "Dame's Violet: Watchfulness." And a flying ladybug that says "Ladybug: Good luck and new beginnings."
I ๐ symbolism and use a lot of it in my work. Its not always apparent, so I'm going to start sharing more about it. To kick things off, here's "For Luck" and a breakdown of the icons I've included. By putting these together, this illustration is a wish or manifestation of luck.๐

You can help stop racism. Here's how. โ
Too many Americans think they can'tโor won'tโdo anything about racism. Melanie Hood-Wilson is building communities to help reach them.
Iโd like to introduce you to @melaniehood-wilson.bsky.social. She consults on programs and projects around the country that relate to teaching, learning, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

A repeating pattern with trailing flowers and leaves on a dark teal background.
Drawing a lot of flowers lately. Trying to create something pretty amid such societal turmoil feels both trivial and important.

A cute, smiling, white cat with green eyes and a red bow, holding a big pink heart with the text "Privatized Healthcare Kills."
A factual, objective statement. But palatable. ๐ It's been a long time since I've made work that's blunt, has text, or is specifically politically inspired... I'm not sure why. It's time to embrace it again.
