Pretty as a picture. Tonight’s view from the back porch 💕 #puremichigan #deer #grazing #wildlife #nature #peaceful #serene #beauty #yard #view

Already working on my 2021 ArtPrize11 entry 😳 I’m determined to have at least six mobiles done by the time artist’s registration opens in April 2021. This paper from @hollanders_annarbor is so gorgeous I can’t keep my hands off of it. A rare instance when the front and back of each sheet look different but equally beautiful. Currently folding 1” squares of paper #artprize #origami #mini #tiny #small #koi #carp #fish #symbolim #perseverence #strength #orange #red #black #gold #japanese #paper #art #artistsoninstagram

I’m proud to say I successfully packed and ate my macrobiotic lunches for 19 days straight at ArtPrize... Which was a huge challenge 😊 After this I feel like I can do anything! Well, at least pack a lunch and eat it remotely 😂 #polenta #sweetpotato #hash #napa #cabbage #peanut #oranges #dried #apricot #fruit #veggies #macrobiotic #lunch #togo #vegetarian #vegan #wholefoods #plantbased #ecofriendly #stainless #container #healthyfood

I don’t always gift myself a momento from ArtPrize but when @schnoobie Susan Atwell came in wearing a gorgeous scarf that she’d made I placed an order for one right there on the spot. My two requests were not too long and please match the colors to complement my Kintsugi Heart painting (minus the metallic gold). It is PERFECT! 😍 I love it to bits. I wore it home from the post office and am wearing it now in the studio. Thank you Susan. I’m sure I’ll be ordering more 😊 #custom #handmade #scarf #fashion #supportsmallbusiness #aqua #seaglass #purple #blue #serene #colors #perfect #accessory

Uninstalling my ArtPrize entry on Monday was bittersweet not in the same way as usual. It was (most likely) the last time I’ll be hosted in my window at the Grand Central Market and Deli. Because ArtPrize will be shifting their competition to every other year it means the next time I plan to bring 8 mobiles and there simply isn’t enough room for them in the window where I’ve been since entering my first ArtPrize 😢 After five foundation years of meeting, folding for, chatting with, and friending hundreds if not thousands of visitors I’ll be applying to a larger venue in 2020. The Market has already said I can hang a sign in the window to let everyone who comes back to see me each year know where I was able to relocate to ❤️ Thank you so much GCMD for the amazing years, friendship, and support you have given me. They have been priceless gifts as I’ve made the transition of moving to the Midwest and establishing my new career as a full time artist 💕😊💕 #ArtPrize #venue #thankyou #over #empty #bittersweet #grandcentralmarket #downtown #grandrapids #michigan

Was reaching for my mug off the rack... Looks like it’s going to be one of those days 🙄😬🤨 They’ve been swarming for the past couple of days. Yesterday I caught 5-6 in the house and released them back outside. This one has joined them where it belongs. BTW it’s bigger than it looks. That’s an oversized mug #ugh #bug #cringe #michigan #swarm #autumn #beatle #insect #catchandrelease

Another view of the same piece I shared a few weeks ago... Back before I became Tinygami, like senior year of high school, I discovered my love of details. This is a small section of a pen and ink piece I did with the old fashioned, quill pen, dip the nib in a jar of ink because my teacher didn’t tell me about Rapidograph technical drawing pens. I learned about them the next year in college 😂 #memories #pen #ink #horses #running #water #silhouette #mindnumbing #detail #spray #droplets #artist #artistsoninstagram

If they ever pave our unsafe, narrow, bumpy, pot holed, washboard, dirt road we will lose our tunnel of trees that greet me each time I return home. Almost all of them you see here would be removed to widen the road to give it the required, two lane width and shoulders. I will hate to see that happen. I live at the far end where the leaves have more autumn color 😍 The way it looks now makes me feel like I’m living in a storybook 😊 #trees #tunnel #country #road #montcalm #greenville #michigan #rural #autumn #colors #peaceful #serenity #beautiful #nature

More origami and gifts from ArtPrize visitors. I’m going to miss all of you next year. Looking forward to ArtPrize 11 in 2020. Thank you for making these past five years the highlight of each year 💕😊💕 #lastday #artprize #origami #gifts #downtown #grandrapids #bittersweet #handmade #art #craft #paper #inspiration
