I am a work of progress... 
Hello there! I'm Art, but you can call me Arty, and it's so nice to meet you!
I'm a 25 y/o trans, nonbinary, queer, polyam and disabled Chicano who likes making things with my hands, and learning all sorts of things!
...and a work of art!
My dream for this little place is to share things I make with all the mediums that catch my eye, share my progress on my Animal Crossing island, Artcoíris (Art-co-ee-reese), and log my journey into books, j-fashion, and DnD.
Oh, and to practice learning Korean, reclaiming Spanish, and coding in my free time! It might be a tall order... but I'll try my best, and that's the best anyone can do!
What does Star Casita mean?
It's a combination of two things that mean a lot to me. The first, star, has two meanings. It's a part of my older handle @startmyspark, where I shared my art endeavors and fandom interests over the years. The second part is more personal. It describes me, and how I see myself.
I don't always feel like a person. (Sometimes I forget entirely!) I feel instead like I'm a little star that was scooped up from the sky and put into a body with arms, legs and all. It's confusing, and exciting, and weird.
Other nonbinary friends I've talked to have said similar things. They feel like a little prism of light, a little deer or an ocean wave... Sometimes I think that would be much easier, and a lot less achy.
Next, casita (ka-see-ta), is the Spanish word for "little house". I just think it's neat, and reminds me of Disney's Encanto. Casita is who I aspire to be: warm, inviting, colorful, magical, emotional, okay with falling apart sometimes and ready to rebuild on a new foundation... Yeah, I just think its neat.
Together, the words describe me! I am my own home, and I am a little star so... there you have it!
Thanks for reading this far! Please hydrate, and take care always!
