Across the country, people are creating art in honor of Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Ginsburg, who died on Friday of complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer at age 87.

A tireless advocate for reproductive freedom, equal pay, and women in the military, Ginsburg’s influence was on full display this weekend through a variety of artistic creations. Some folks channeled their passion into paintings or drawings, while others took to less traditional endeavors like tattoos, baked goods or face masks. Some people even dressed their children up in costumes that resembled Ginsburg’s trademark neckline and glasses.
