I'm Annikka (she/they), an artisan and artist based in Chicago.

Trained and working full-time in traditional stained glass, my personal practice explores wearable art and decor as informal display and energy curation. I practice nail art, tattoos, and fibre arts among others.

@basil.dazzle made a dissertation so I made a pinata, cake and pin the tassel/tears game to celebrate 😘

First time using dual forms and it opens so many possibilities!! Pinky broke off so still figuring out density at this length but pretty fun and dramatic. We'll see how long I last without cutting these down. Some of the pics are in progress photos

Globby chrome claws for @bao_sophie! This is my first time doing extensions on not my own hands. Nail design based on a @nailsinurcoffin set with tutorial by @necta_nails

I made this Adelphi top (pattern by @sa_sews) out of a canvas Apron that was a prior botched batik/paint/dye project - but I selected areas of the fabric coloration intentionally and it worked perfectly for this piece!! Swipe to see the green top st

Chartreuse to Kale green gradient in textureeeee

I grew a real big beet, and then @basil.dazzle turned it into a real nice salad (also featuring my kale in salad and last photo)

Vegetables are art

Little (self portrait??) fabric paper doll (made during @queer.quilting.chi iron on patch workshop)
