(repurposing this old post into an intro)

hi! you can call me xylaria, xy, or i guess some variation of my url if you want.

this is an art + photos blog, expect mainly my art and occasionally a cool mushroom or something i found in the woods. i reblog from @strobilomyces-confusus

dms open if you want to talk about anything, especially diy/creative process stuff, i like comparing notes with ppl

i am open to art trades, if you want one feel free to ask!

i don't mind construction criticism or tips, particularly on my traditional art/crafting stuff - i'm in a stage of wanting to try a whole bunch of different cool things, which means that i am an absolute beginner at most of them, and if you are experienced and know that i am making an absolute beginner mistake (tm) i'd like to know about it too!

you can also send me mushrooms you've found. i encourage this. i do not guarantee an accurate id every time but i can Try

i love when this happens on inaturalist

came out to my dad and he was like "what i just don't get is why you would want to be a boy. i've never wanted to be a boy" like ok. have you considered,

look at this skull i found

i don't think vampires are overdone actually i think vampires are fucking great. in this day and age a vampire can be a metaphor for absolutely anything and i think that's beautiful

i have got to get myself an inkwell
