Happy with the grafting success this season: on the peach 3 out of 4 grafts took and on the apples even more success. One of this year’s apple grafts (Waltana) actually has fruit growing on it!

The last photo shows one of the apple trees coming into fruit for the first time (Pink Lady).

Fruit trees are fruiting!

All these trees I’ve grafted or rooted myself, starting with bare rootstock or a cutting. Many of these trees I’ve put on multiple varieties. Some have more than half a dozen or more different varieties on one tree!

Since we don’t own land, we grow our trees in containers. They all started out in 1 gallon pots and now most are in 15 gallon containers. I don’t plan on potting up further but we are hopeful we will plant many of these trees in the ground when we buy a place soon.

We’ve got apple, Asian pear, plum, nectarine, peach, grapefruit, mandarin, pineapple guava, fig, pomegranate and more.

No fruit yet on the cherry or European Pear trees. Maybe next year!

My First Attempt At a 3D “Pop Up” Card

I followed a tutorial from Jennifer Maker to make this Apple Tree Pop-Up Card.  It took some time to cut out all of the pieces (on my Cricut Maker), and if I had the kind of card stock she recommends then it might have turned out better, but not bad for a first try, eh?

The blue obsession continues! I’m experimenting a bit with the ink: before I used to ink and then wash with watercolor, but I’m beginning to think that ink on top is the way to go.

Fall 2018 Fall is here, death is here, but the flowers keep on flowering

Just two bros chilling under a magic apple tree.

I wanted this one to be less busy than the others, and my professor loved how peaceful it is. I love how all the details came out, and that simple blue sky helps them stand out!

So I wanted to draw little ram Schlatt and tiny slime Charlie. I’ve recently gotten into Slimecicle Cinematic Universe and Chuckle Sandwich, so I wanted to involve them in the Cryptid AU. Plus, look how cute they are!!! Tiny Rammie JSchlatt is just so funny to me. He’s just a little guy who swears and causes problems.
