hi friends ! ive been pretty inactive on this account oops

thats bc ive been putting in actual effort to grow something ive always left on the backburner

ive always had a passion for crafts & i love sharing it with people, so i made a dedicated IG for it (in 2022) <3

www.instagram.com/pearlspun

a shitty poem i wrote after i went into a trader joes for the first time since moving out of my college apartment that was on top of one

wishing i lived closer to my friends so i can host craft nights to justify spending $$$ on craft supplies and expensive tools in the name of community

will look into it!! thank u :0

redoing my 2024 recap post on insta bc it didnt capture the essence of my year
...
will not be posted on time bc canva struggles 😪

4 family members in the room and NO ONE tries to stop the nurse from entering the bathroom while im in there
HATERS ALL OF THEM

i know figma exists, i took an intro to figma class but my brain does NAWT compute

PLEASE THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE THAN CANVA

ahfkskjdd sorry i just got the friend tab now, just been catching whimstars
dm'ed hahahah

been wanting to get into jewelry making bc i luv earrings and these weaving spring earrings are calling my name

momo is so felt plushable

started playing infinity nikki yesterday and i swearrrr i can freehand a momo plush

i've finally been found out

a nurse asked me what grade i'm in, thinking i'm in high school
unfortunately, i had to break the illusion and say i already graduated college 💀

we're probably closer in age than some of her colleagues since she's only been a nurse for 3 yrs now

hateeeee drawing people so baddddddddddd

anyways wip for a surprise gift to add to christmas card for a friend

grateful for gdd for the opportunity to learn and try, cindy for encouraging me to apply & being my mentor, & my team for actualizing my idea

this game will forever be the project i am the most proud of during college
bc it was the first time i believed in myself enough to put my ideas out there

day late but happy 3 year anniversary to my baby, my brainchild, my pride & joy

genuinely one of the most wholesome ideas ive had in a while

no waiting for responses, writing whatever comes to mind at your own time, and lots of qs that wouldnt make it in everyday convos

while it cant replace real convos & dinner parties, its still a nice way to catch up until we meet again

missing my friends a lot lately so i made them a google form to fill out so i can know whats going on in their lives
we hardly catch up nowadays bc of busy schedules and different cities

my heart is so full
ive been smiling ear to ear reading their responses
i can hear their voices in their writing

good luck 🤞🤞🤞

dorian ATE (real human food?)

thank you, it would be a pleasure to work w you again too ! your dorian convos were soo fun to read 🫶 (and i loveeee ur magical zine submissions, so moving)

love love love all the art you made
your characters are gorgeoussss, the way u designed marie-elle lives in my head forever
looking forward to whats next for you 👀
