soon to be painted in watercolors by me, Marian Gardner.

Hi! I’m Ash, a student who started my Etsy shop in March 2026 to help save for my dream of going to college. Everyone deserves an education, yet, the cost is quite high in the United States.🇺🇸🎆

I make handmade kandi bracelets, necklaces, keychains, and other colorful accessories.🌈

I’m incredibly grateful to have reached 8 sales with all 5-star reviews so far! If you have a moment, even just visiting or favoriting my shop would mean a lot and helps support a small business. 🩷🥰

Feels like I leveled up

First: pillars of creation + wedgewood blue

Second: electric green, citrus yellow, orange crush, shiitake

Third: alchemist + plum

Where are some good places that I can sell my stuffed animals at? They are hand knitted and infant safe because they’re faces are hand embroidered on

Here are some of the pieces I've made these past few months! Which one speaks to you most?

After a 10-year break, I finally started painting again. I just finished a few new pieces. I took a break because I went all-in on digital art, but it feels great to be painting again. I'm really happy with how this one turned out.

I hope it makes you smile. :)

New flower species found!

After going deeper into the jungles of the Netherlands, I came across this bloodthirsty new flower. I couldn’t really make out the sounds it was making, but I’m pretty sure it said “brains.”

Anyway, I tried to make a photorealistic painting of it, and I think it came pretty close to the real thing.

I love zombies, so this was a great find.

It’s finished, varnished, and now available!

Acrylics on 20cm x 20cm canvas

€85 + shipping (€21 to the US)

I encountered this happy fellow on my second day of studying flowers in the dense jungles of the Netherlands.

This one wasn't shy at all and grinds teeth while smiling, which he does nonstop. Hard to describe the exact sound but I still hear it my dreams/nightmares...

Anyway he was happy to pose for me so I could make a photorealistic painting.

Here are more of the sketches cards I did this week for commissions. The next ones will be Disney themed. What do you guys think? Let me know.
