A new dragon is underway for my HarrowHyrst range….I do love making them. I’ve used Sculpey to bulk out the wire armature and all the details are being sculpted with BeesPutty polymer clay. A homage to my old s-shaped dragons for Games Workshop :-)

drybrushed mini of audry hepburn as a teenager offering some flowers, stood on a flower field, with red feiry skies, and a faint Mufasa style hovering version of herself later on.
more words:
Audrey Hepburn was a teenager around Arnhem and Velp during WW2, ironically moved from the UK to somewhere safer, which was not to be. She performed ballet at secret fundraisers for the resistance and whatever deeds a "non threatening little girl" could get away with, slipping under the radar of the occupiers.
In one story, she is delivering some papers to a downed pilot, but on the way spots a Dutch Nazi police officer, so begins picking nearby wildflowers. Once he comes over, she offers him some, innocently. I think I've resonated with the resistance stories so much is the ability to turn something frustrating and wrong (being overlooked and underestimated) into a superpower.
After the Battle of Arnhem, she was left in Velp with the remainder of the citizens who couldn't evacuate, with the two major threats of German boots on the ground and Allied bombing from the skies. Working under Dr. Hendrik Visser ’t Hooft she helped at the medical stations running whatever errands were required, all while suffering from the weakness from starvation that was affecting the area.
As with all of our minis in this Resistance project, Audrey is one of many civilians who risked or lost their lives helping others to survive. The hope is that by shining these lights on just some of them, we can appreciate the many many more that went unrecorded. The civilian resistance also grabs me because it's very every day people dragged into action and becoming extraordinary.
The KS goes live 21st October, twenty brand new minis of folk from the Dutch Resistance, including wee Audrey Hepburn.

This #paleoart of #Pteranodon standing on a wave-crashed rock seems to be a favourite for some, judging by steady print sales over the last 10 years. I recall it coming together quickly, probably because I did it for my own enjoyment and fully engaged with my impulses towards romantic art.

There have always been Beasts, creatures of twisted imagination. HarrowHyrst is no exception. Lately strange creatures have been appearing, getting bolder, letting themselves be seen where before they kept hidden from all but the unlucky.Their forms are twisted yet familiar, both human and animal.
I have a little tradition when the kids go back to school. I forage for some Autumnal leaves, bring them back to the studio and paint them. This is from the last two years.
Two more sisters join the pack 🌕 I enjoy working on every one of them so much! I spent over a year sculpting, adding all those tiny patterns and details and painting them is so satisfying #art #werewolf #sculpture

Smolder is now 7 years old now. I had done this in 2019, that year the Amazon was on fire and we all were in a panic. this was my interpretation of a vengeful forest spirit.
Bees sleep 5–8 hours a day, sometimes inside flowers, and they often rest together while gently holding each other's feet. Nature is full of amazing little wonders.

One in every three bites of food you eat exists because a bee flew. The bee is not a detail. The bee is the system. And we are poisoning it to produce crops that are then used to make food products whose profit margins fund the lobbying that prevents the regulation that might stop the poisoning.
