I have been drawing for years. I like using Procreate on my iPad to draw. My mum did all the framing.

My hobby is mostly being an artist but I also make merch that I would enjoy and reflect on people’s personalities. I started making pins recently but started drawing at six or seven. I am self-taught.

I started baking two years ago. I make biscuits for Halloween, Christmas and Easter.
It took me three days to make this batch (bake and decorate).
