Osseous Design

I finished this little lady up the day before yesterday! While she looks simple in concept, she took forever and gave me one hell of a time *winks in low hanging fruit* (Which is actually quite funny to me because I made myself one of these about 3 years ago and absolutely do not remember it being such a devil *😏*)
But she’s so worth it so I will ultimately be making her in more colors—just definitely not in time for my show like I had so foolishly hoped

See her and all her other bucket hat friends in person, this Tuesday, at Uptown Garage Brewing from 6-8pm!

Chilling at one of our favorite watering holes for Price is Right this morning!

I’ve come prepared, strapped with two of my 16oz. crochet koozies. One to keep my drink cold and the other to keep my (already cracked into) breakfast warm.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Makena, do your koozie jars fit an entire can of SpaghettiO’s?”
To which I proudly say, “why yes, yes they do!” Followed by “SpaghettiO’s are absolutely an excellent and totally normal breakfast.”

I’ll have many different designs and colors (as well as regular crochet can koozies—12oz./tall boys) and other goodies at an upcoming artist spotlight on October 14th, from 6-8pm, at Uptown Garage Brewing, in Ankeny, IA (they will be holding BINGO during that time as well). It will be just lil ole me selling my wares for the first time in many MANY years. I’m nervous but tremendously excited!


You know, like “scared sh*tless”?

I’ve (finally, hallelujah) been brainstorming some new concepts. I feel like I’m not getting very far but that’s how it be sometimes. Also, hello everyone—I am still alive! P.S. Are we still using a silly amount of hashtags? Help, I’m old!

Hmmm, which sketchbook does this live in 🤔

This is from about 2.5 years ago—pretty much one of the last things I really worked on, actually. I wonder where she went. Maybe she’ll be fixed some day.

Another quick magazine study. Just the bust/coat area this time. I’m not super focused on getting everything to a “polished level” right now—just trying to get my brain goop out to make way for greener pastures.

Don’t be so hard on yourselves, folks! The world does enough of that ish on its own ✌️💕
