I am My Own Best Company
Cracking myself up.
Welcome to The Nibbler by me, Jill Myer, a bi-weekly brief focusing on art, inspiration, creativity, snacks, and joy.
Hello, my Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Clusters
Happy Tuesday!
I am delighted to share with you a sneaky little peek of a project I collaborated on with Schreiner’s Iris Gardens to celebrate their 100th Anniversary!
The exclusive line of cards, mini-cards, and stickers will debut in the Schreiner’s Gift Shop on Memorial Day weekend during the Iris Festival at the Schreiner’s Iris Gardens.

I am My Own Best Company
Cracking myself up.
I recently updated my “About Me” page on my website after learning more about SEO (search engine optimization). I am cackling with pride at the fun I had while drafting the text while engaging in something as Saltine Cracker dry and tasteless as SEO.
Behold!
About:

MY CURRENT FAVORITE SNACK
Green grapes are back in season!
Grapes are my favorite: sweet, crisp, crunchy, and mouth-bursty, they travel well and require very little prep work! They are a 10/10 of snackable foods.
✨GLIMMER HUNTING✨
The shadows and the misty morning light on the trail the other day were borderline magical!
Also, this absolute cheeseball has discovered the guest bedroom.
I have no idea what prompted this discovery or when the couch became unsuitable for The Princess, but I suspect if I put a pea under the mattress, she would be truly disgruntled.
Look at that little grin—she knows! She also fluffed the covers—that bed was made before her expedition into this space.
IN MY STUDIO
I took this photo three years ago, and it has sat in my “Inspo Folder” ever since. This last weekend, I decided to see what I could do with it - the answer, so far, has been to waste a lot of time and paint.
Which is an unfair statement. I’m learning, and learning is sometimes frustrating and full of fuckery.
I’m working with an entirely new color palette and trying to achieve a new effect.
It has so much potential, but at the moment, it feels like this painting’s potential to end up at the bottom of the trash can, covered in dirty rags and candy wrappers, is extra high. Send snacks!
