Hi! Since last I twittered, I've been making trippy ceramics and was featured in a gallery show. How've you been?

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

It's done!!!
This was... a lot. 🤣
But ultimately I enjoyed the process and want to do more environments in the future!

I've been a li'l overwhelmed lately, but I just signed up for a GIPHY account! You can follow me or use my animations here: https://t.co/Ru6LLTECEa

HUGE NEWS!!!! SENSORY: LIFE ON THE SPECTRUM is being published by @AndrewsMcMeel and will be available in Fall 2022!!!

Our little autistic passion project is going to be in bookstores!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

Still have so much cleaning, shading, highlighting to do but it's finally feeling like a real space! #WIP #WIPArt

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

Art v Artist time again?!
Last year... I reconnected with art
This year... I explored
Next year... I hope to focus and refine!
Wish me luck.

Had issues with my teapot ceramics project today (including a small meltdown, yayyyyyyy) but successfully pivoted to turning it into a little garlic holder. Go me! 🧄���️‍🔥

I love hands.

QRT your hands 👋🏽

@AsiatuCoach @MikaelaHobart Interoception also is a big one! I remember when I was little I would have no idea when I was hungry all day, but would suddenly be starving/cranky. Nothing would sound good to me which led to crying/meltdowns. Now I take safe snacks with me everywhere and eat on a schedule. 😋

@AsiatuCoach @MikaelaHobart Lining up and stacking items on restaurant tables since I was small, especially when feeling like I needed a break in a social engagement. Was a theater kid so a lot of late night diners in high school. My favorites were the little creamers for coffee.

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

@Schnumn Yes, I would love to take a workshop this like from you! I am also more interested in the emotional and energy management aspects, like how to be visible without totally exhausting yourself, how to work with others, how to let go of perfectionism, how to set boundaries.

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

@Beautidivergen2 @HHarris777 @AsiatuCoach There's an outdoors sound I asociate with atmospheric pressure that kind of sounds like the inside of a cave, my husband doesn't hear it. I haven't asked if he can feel differences in pressure/humidity I'll have to check!

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

Progress on my environment coloring! Need to find/watch some good painting tutorials...

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

I've also visited a lot of homes for my previous job in UX Research, I would love to bring some of the innovations and differences I've observed in disabled spaces into my environment art.

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

Been working hard on environments in my illustration class. I've always found backgrounds really intimidating as I have some spatial visualization difficulties but I think I'm learning! WIP below...

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

If I can get confident in these skills I'd love to do a series on disabled homes. Our furniture is against walls and we have a lot of empty space for my husband's wheelchair, but I also have a ton of stuff stored visibly/on surfaces/in baskets because of ADHD.

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

@QueenUtica Catching up on S13, just finished this episode and LITERALLY gasped when this came out. So happy you got more recognition for this look it is beautiful!

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

@Keah_Maria Cute! I really like Olive and June's bright rainbow colors. I generally can't wear nail polish because of sensory issues but their polish feels "lighter" to me and I can wear more often. I also like Liquid Glass polishes by static nails!

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

I'm also interested in brightly colored animals and plants because I like "natural" things and fibers, which is often expressed in clothing as muted tones. But is that accurate to what I observe and am drawn to in nature? Photos from my camera roll 👇

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

Thinking about radical visibility, clothing, liberation, bright colors. I tend toward darker colors because I choose clothes based on feel and texture, so it's easier to wear things that are "acceptable" if I'm working from one darker color story. But it also "shrinks" me.

[Seacow Soda @seacowsoda]

What might I look like, wear or create coming from a place of advertising a message to those who see me? Like a blue ringed octopus advertising poison, or a peacock advertising its genetic virtues?
