“It’s
not just about cooking a meal and having the meal for lunch or dinner,
but it’s about connection with our ancestors and how they have been so
resilient and strong,” said Jennifer Wheeler.
Jennifer Wheeler, a Navajo language teacher, posted a series of
videos on her Facebook page showing her making traditional foods like
blue corn much and kneel down bread. Her videos have been shared across
the platform tens of thousands of times.
“I didn’t even imagine the response that I’m getting now,” she said.
Wheeler said she hopes the videos, which are recorded solely in Navajo, will help her people learn the complicated language.
“When you act and speak and do all at the same time, the listener
will start recognizing that and understanding the action to the verb,”
Wheeler said,
Wheeler said she has enough food videos planned to take her through
the next couple of months. All of her videos are posted to her Facebook
page, but she said she has plans to start a YouTube channel soon.

Now offering custom Beans of whatever characters can be converted into blob form! Pricing is in USD, with a charge of $2/Bean for extras (e.g. 15 Beans would cost $30, 22 Beans would cost $39, etc.). I am not currently accepting orders of fewer than 10 Beans, but half the fun is having a whole matching set, anyway, right?
Bean Facts:
Beans are all vaguely happy! The expression is the same for all Beans, though the mouth or eyes may be covered/hidden by hair or accessories.
Beans do not have noses or eyebrows! Piercings can still be added.
Beans do not have ears! Any hair normally tucked behind ears will be fudged as needed.
Beans can still have horns or animal ears! They will just be very tiny.
Beans do not have eyelashes, but they can have facial hair!
Beans can have moles, freckles, scars, and makeup!
Beans may not be well-suited to every character design! Earrings, most makeup, and facial hair beyond a little scruff don’t usually translate well. You can request to leave these out, or take your chances.
Beans like to float in space! Each bean comes individually saved as a transparent png. The default file dimensions are 150x150, but I crop this differently per set for optimal emoji sizing.
To Order:
Prepare a reference of each character to be blobified. I don’t need anything beyond a headshot, but you don’t have to crop out torsos, etc. if you have them. Dollmakers and sketches are okay, just make sure there’s a reference or palette included that I can colorpick from.
Get all of your character references together in a single place. The best method is probably pasting them onto a Google Doc (be sure to give me access!).
Contact me on Tumblr Messenger (or Discord if you know me there) with a clear request for a Bean commission and your reference document.
I will provide a link for you to pay me through PayPal. Work on the commission will begin after the payment goes through.
I won’t publicly share any details of a commission unless permitted, so I won’t leak any un-dropped rosters, surprises for friends, or anything like that!
i’ve reopened commissions with updated prices and options! i had a very sudden and unexpected expense in my old laptop’s hard drive breaking and needing replacement, so any support would be greatly appreciated!
all prices are listed in USD, most payment will be through paypal, please DM me if you’re interested!
by the way i’ll be doing donation comms for the next few days - if you donate 10$ to a BLM org and dm me the receipt i’ll give you a sketch bust of any character u want, like the ones below. please stay safe everyone 💖💓
