Greetings Traveler

Welcome to my clearing in the forest!

This site is meant to be a reflection of myself and my interests to share with others. I like to think of it as leaving the doors open to my personal cottage, and letting guests look around and explore. Have fun looking around!

If you're lost, please reference the sitemap.

Notice: My website is SFW but expect some mild swearing here and there.

Meet the Forest Keeper

Hi I'm Starry! (◍•ᴗ•◍)

I'm your local shut-in artist with a little too much time on her hands. I like playing video games, crafting, and plant science. I was inspired by Loveweb to make my own website and add some more creativity to the web.

Also, I'm a night owl who gets her best ideas underneath the moonlight.

Working on: Nothing atm
