The Autistic Artisan

Hey Springfield people, l need to practice my henna so I'll be set up in Mystical Thoughts today from 2:30pm-5 pm offering free henna to anyone who wants it!

Some last minute changes. I ended up in Springfield today, come stop by and say hi and check out some new stuff !

GingerRoot Wellness is hosting a workshop tomorrow! You must sign up before 10am on Saturday
This is my beautiful sister and her passion, Her calming breath work has helped me in stressful situations.
Being autistic I think some of the skills she teaches are extra valuable to others like me.
If you're a holistic kind of person/ love nature/ self growth, you'll love this workshop and she'll have a giveaway too! ( Drawn from the names of the people that signed up). An exclusive new craft I'm dropping for the first time tommrow! I'll have a few at the Moth Market in Joplin too but those arnt give aways lol

$45 value of a bouquet of flowers l picked and arranged from a local farm Patchwork Flower Farm with real butterflies preserved in it!

Which one will be the giveaway? you'll have to come to find out!

Channel your grief into your butterflies and make art with that. Says my sister. ...
But like how.. it's butterflies?

Well my friends, here is my grief in moth form.
Every flower/piece of "greenery" in here, I either foraged or were given. I spent months drying them. I raised the Luna and she came out with wet spots (now black dots on her wings) so she had set backs and while laying eggs she tethered her wings.
The background is all the words l still want to say to him, the dandelions are all the wishes I still hold on to but they will never blow away in the wind, never coming true. I'm still trying to stop and smell the roses but now that he's gone, every garden looks dull. The burning spots are like old movie tape, that life before is gone forever and it's time for the next scene. The splatters are of tear drops made with the coffee l have to drink to stay awake because it's hard to sleep at night.

I'm still trying to fly despite how worn out l am and l can't see it now but someday, I'll reach a garden that is green again.

I think I'll make a whole series ( l have several deformed or withered moths and dried a good amount of flowers).
