Hi! I'm Leigh Ann! You may also know me as @hellospriggan , where I paint cute nature spirits called Spriggans. I've shared some of my photos there before, you'll see me reblog here as well as post new photos.

When I was in high school, my dad got me a film camera and took me on a road trip to South Dakota. Ever since then, I've loved taking photos. It's always been a hobby, something that I do purely for enjoyment and to document the small beautiful moments when I travel. I've always been shy about sharing my photos, but my dad and my husband both recently encouraged me to, so I thought I'd give it a go. ʕ￫ᴥ￩ʔ

Purchase my work on Redbubble: A curated selection of clothing and housewares. I highly recommend the sleeveless chiffon tanks and mini skirts with my feather collage images! I also really love their mugs and pillows; I've ordered a lot of these with my artwork and have always been happy with the quality. <3

Re: the crow pattern and Spoonflower, OH MY GOODNESS I was recently thinking how awesome that would be. They also do wallpaper. *waggles eyebrows* I would make a lovely dress, then pose in front of my lovely wall in it.

If that ever happens, I want a picture of THIS!!

I got three new charms to add to my backpack! I didn’t have any Pokémon yet so I’m very excited.

Art by John Jurries (the pear octopus) @hellospriggan (the fareries) the comic Atomic Robo (the dinosaur saying grl pwr) Molly Burgess Designs (Luna moth at the top) and though I made the stay home club patch it’s based on a design by another artist who goes by @stayhomeclubofficial on Instagram.

Here's my big 8 for inspiring artists! I did also post this to my instagram so I apologize for tagging all of you ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ARTISTS twice in one week. What can I say I'm smitten. These are the ones that make me want to draw, to improve, and cry in a corner.

Well I decided to build a scale model of my three little foxes' oak tree house

Also bought some Sylvanian Families kangaroos... I was originally going to put their heads on more posable BJD bodies and turn them into foxes but the scale doesn't seem right... Waffling now on whether to turn them into red squirrels? 😂 Too many ideas, not enough brain cells

A definitely incomplete list of things I have collected:

Marbles

Rocks (I had a box labeled "Leigh Ann's Box of Really Really Really Cool Rocks" XD)

Childhood toys, circa 90's (My Little Pony G1 and G3, Barbie, Littlest Pet Shop, Disney dolls (ahhh the Mattel era, really miss it))

Antique art glass animals, blown glass

Contemporary glass animals, lampworked

Manga (in Japanese) (also English)

Yoshitaka Amano art books

Books, books, books (especially faerie tales and Golden Age illustrations)

Tarot decks with neat art/by favorite artists

Owls

Animal skulls

Crystals

Letterpress blocks with Christmas motifs

And now, Calico Critters/Sylvanian Families

(This is obviously leaving out things like art supplies. I think there's a difference between accumulating --necessary or otherwise-- and intentional collecting.)
