When we help someone there is always something that blooms and grows beyond us. It is an increasingly necessary action in a world that unfortunately is increasingly divided. @givingtuesdaypt challenged me to illustrate its movement inspired by this year's motto "Together we change the world"! This day is celebrated on the first tuesday after BlackFriday, calling on anyone to choose a cause that ressonates with them and give back to them however you can. Thus, a wave of massive generosity is created, which can (and should) extend beyond today! Are there any organizations you want to support? : .

Even lopsided plants deserve some attention.

What really matters to you? Nurture it wisely.

These patterns are all made from drawings pulled from my 2017 sketchbook project. I studied fiber arts in grad school and learned how to do repeat patterns - the old fashioned way by cutting and taping paper together... I haven't done any in 25 years - until this month!

White-footed tamarin ( Saguinus leucopus) lives in tropical dry forests, tropical wet forests, primary and secondary forests. Its diet consists of insects, soft fruits, and nectar, plant exudates, prey animals, and flowers.

Sometimes it takes more than one post-it note.

I’be been sketching my toy cars and trying to imagine how plants might interact with them

Ambiguous foreign botanicals

Here is one of 3 illustrations I made for customizable postcards, available for purchase at @cava.galeria I wanted to use this green/bluish colour, plants, and a very curious human in this case. What do you think the person is saying? *The size is 15,5 cm by 11 cm Limited number of postcards

Using my husband's garden as an inspiration, I love to make up containers and plants.

I haven't had time to draw in a long time because of school and other personal projects, but I recently finished this doodle. There's a color version of it that I'll upload tomorrow.

This one goes out to those of you who struggle to keep plants alive. They can't die if I draw them instead

Sketchbook, ink, coffee and onion

I like the notion of Poison Ivy from Batman being a sort of vengeful Mother Earth. I sometimes wish Mother Earth would give us the smackdown. We deserve it.

The cat in this doodle is inspired by "The Beast" from a cartoon that ran when I was a kid. The abstract mushrooms are a slight deviation from my usual botanical abstracts.
