  • One year of mail club!

    The sticker for this month

    Celebrating one year of my mail club! This is our October 2026 zine titled: Fall Vibes, finally 🎃

    Every month, my mail club receives a zine (plus other goodies). It’s always an experiment in presence.

    I’m now trying to use this commitment as a challenge to draw more. This is what I’ve felt called to do this month: more drawing. It’s something I always return to.

    I’m also using it as an opportunity to notice what I love in a moment. We are all always changing. The me I am today is not the me I will be tomorrow.

    My goals, dreams, ponderings change every month. This is a good way to stay engaged with myself. It’s another form of the journal. A proof of life.

    Mail club has different tiers available, go check them out today! Check out Rikki’s Mail Club

    threads of being 

    curl through every cell

    of this body

    arms   chest    heart

    opening like a flower

    crying nectar at the

    penetration of light

    both

         pleasure and

              pain

  • Making marks

    An automatic drawing I made last night while watching Uzumaki. Mostly just tried to set time apart where I wasn’t doomscrolling. Being locked in during a snow storm has made it hard to resist the phone, especially since I can’t go for my daily walk. My legs hurt intensely. Luckily my ulcer issues have chilled out, and the medicine I am allowed to take has kept the horrid headaches at bay. I still slept a lot today. I also began knitting a hat. Still trying to work through my stash.

    Back to the drawing, into interesting because a lot of elements always seem to appear and I usually see some type of character or spirit manifest. Will probably do more of this tonight when I’m not knitting.

  • Collage-a-palooza

    I made a little journal that included vellum pages and have been able to create some really fun collages. It’s been so fun I filled the journal in two days! I’ll be uploading all of these designs to Redbubble.

  • self-inquiry with paper

    what works? what doesn’t work? what’s necessary? what feels like a boulder?
  • The curiosity spiral

    as creatives we travel ever inward, following the curiosity spiral via gentle intuitive nudges and vulnerable action…asking ourselves: what if it’s worth the risk? And: what if I keep experimenting?
