WIP It's past the "rearrange phase", and now in the 'it's coming together beautifully and I'm starting to really love it phase", and it is the best feeling! 🤗 That is what I call artistic euphoria, and that high is what drives my compulsion to create! 🥳😊☀️ #WorkInProgress
WIP Mama and baby are pretty much done. 🥰 Subtle texture through glazed layers and stencilling. I love using my Inktense water soluble pencil for shadowing. Easier to get a subtle wash, that is fixable with just water! #WorkInProgress #ElephantArt
I think I’ve found my art lady tribe! 👩🎨They are a lovely, fun bunch, and getting together every week, sometimes twice, to paint or just hanging out doing artsy things like gallery visits, is a balm for my soul! They inspire me, and make me feel valued, and I’m so grateful for that! I needed it. ❤️
I covered a not working for me painting on canvas with molding paste instead of just gesso. It's got a lovely silky surface that when super watered down high flow acrylic is applied, you get a watercolour effect. 🤗 I used a palette knife & didn't make it smooth, for a rustic look. ☀️ #WorkInProgress
I'm procrastinating on doing anything with my current WIP. So I'm doing a lot of just hanging out on the front porch with my little boss instead. lol 🥰
Doing mini pastel landscapes on my deck. Can't use acrylics outside because it's always breezy. Pastel makes dust, so doing it outside is perfect! Doing plein air on location with my art club on Tues. I've never done one looking at actual scenery before, so that will be interesting! 😜 #Pastel
"Blue Forest" alcohol inks on Yupo Sometimes I just like to do little abstracts. 😊☀️ #BlueTue #ColorADay #AbstractArt #ArtYear #AlcoholInks #BlueArt #Blue
The imagery came about from just texturing with my 2nd layer of gesso, of all things! I saw the cliffs and some trees and built the world from there. Added a portal, of course, and that's me under the tree, having come through it! 😁 "Hanging Out In The 5th Dimension" acrylic and mixed media #ArtYear
This one is purely needle felted. I used hand dyed locks for the sun and trees, and to enhance the hills. It is named "Eos", meaning "dawn", in Latin. ☀️🌞 #FibreArt #TextileArt #WoolArt #Felting #NeedleFelting #ArtYear #SunArt #LandscapeArt
Been "painting" with wool lately. This one I started as a mostly wet felted piece, but then went in with a lot of needle felting because I wasn't happy with the original image. I named it "Elysium". 😊☀️ #FibreArt #TextileArt #ArtYear #Felting #Dreamscapes #GreekMythologyArt #WoolArt
Been making felted pods and bowls lately. It’s a good stress reliever, and I love to play with colours! That magenta is fabulous! 😍I must use it more! I’m thinking of trying something bigger, like a cat pod. Even though I don’t have a cat. lol #FibreArt #TextileArt #Handmade #Felting #DecorativeArt
I have been painting, just haven't felt like posting much lately. 🤷♀️ I did get this beautiful new tattoo today(my 6th) in honour of my 60th birthday in a month. 🥳Should be all healed up by then. Getting them makes me feel ALIVE in my old age. I love having art on me! Might get a sci-fi one next.🛸🪐🤓
Got new ink last Thursday! I’m so addicted. lol Tigers have always been my favourite wild animal ever since I got to hold a baby one as a kid! 🥰Hibiscus is for my love of tropical places. I paint them a lot too! 🌺 I was going to go with tiger lilies, but I liked her sketch with these better.
Just finished this one. More flowers and whimsical birds.😊☀️ "Love Birds" acrylic and mixed media on cradle board 10x10 #Art #ArtYear #WhimsicalArt #BirdArt #FlowerArt
I've been feeling like painting flowers a lot lately to try and counteract all the doom and gloom! Plus, I'm so ready for Spring already! "Persephone's Garden" acrylic on cradle board 8x8 #art #FlowerArt #AcrylicPainting #ArtYear #HappyArt
Been busy last week making these two little coin purses! 😁 It was so fun I'll definitely make more! Easily wet felted in a day, then drying overnight and attaching the hardware the next day with embroidery thread. ☀️ #FiberArt #TextileArt #Handmade #Felting #FunctionalArt
Just signed up today! 😁❤️🇨🇦 It's different. It looks fun! I like the idea of groups(cafes) for different interests.

This is the handbag I made in my wet felting class this last Sunday! It turned out beautifully! 😍 I'm so proud of myself! 😁 I can't wait to make another, and maybe different shaped ones, and cute little coin purses. It shrunk a lot! It's like magic.🧙🏻♀️😊 #TextileArt #Wool #Handmade #FibreArt #Art
Beautiful!
I’ve always felt drawn to stags. Strong yet gentle, grounded yet almost otherworldly. This hand sculpted woodland deer was created slowly, detail by detail, until he felt alive. 🤎🦌✨ #WoodlandArt #HandmadeDecor #WhimsicalArt #FantasyInspired
Just finished this small one. I called it "Joy Blooms" because colour gives me joy. 😊☀️ 8x8 acrylic on cradle board #Art #ArtYear #FloralPainting #FlowerPainting #AcrylicPainting #Joy #WhimsicalArt
Made another cute little pod! 😊☀️ Embellished the opening with embroidery thread. Fun and relaxing things to make! I'm waiting on some beautiful yarn and other embellishments for my next one. I'm going to throw it all on and see what sticks! #textileart #fibreart #felting #wetfelting #art #woolart
Challenged myself to make a wet felted 3-D object. So I made a pod! It took about 5 hours, and was fun to do! Might embellish it, but maybe not. 😁☀️ #textileart #fibreart #softsculpture #felting #wetfelting #art #woolart
