Trekking into the ravine (an excuse to play with colored pencils and toned paper) #artsky #traditionalart #coloredpencils #abstractart #landscape

Green birds in the top right corner fly in a bright reddish sky. To the left are yellow trees leaning up and to the left. They fade into the background and almost look like flames. The tree closest to the viewer has a large hole under where the branches split, and the roots seem to be leaking out blood. Sharp rocks colored in pinks, blues, yellows, and green are stamped with gridded patterns before they lead down into a dark ravine. This drawing was made with posca colored pencils on grey toned paper.

$This is a square acrylic gouache painting on a yellow-orange backdrop. Intermixed are overlayed fractal patterns that resemble patterns from ornate iron gates in bright whites, greens, and blues. They pop with bold red outlines. There is one large blue, green, and white burst/star emerging from the motifs at the top right corner. To the bottom left is a pink spark that blends in more with the background with the exception of its teal outline. On the top left, there is an abstracted church tower intermixed with the motifs- it is wobbly enough to appear ambiguous, except for the steeple roof and the stained glass windows below.$

Today’s kiln-haul! This will be my first time trying ceramic jewelry 🤞

A variety of ceramic pieces including sculptures and cups. A lot of them are frogs of various sizes. There’s also a bunny.

I saw this model by Gaetano Giulio Zumbo in Paris on Saturday. He was a wax modeller who worked with a surgeon in Genoa, replicating his dissections in wax. Only two of his models survive from the end of the 17thC. I’ve posted photos of the one in La Specola in Florence before - this is the other

My landlady’s cat got an update to some fanart that I painted of him a few months ago 😎 (photo she took of his reaction) I will see if I can post the tatting pattern in replies - - - #artsky #watercolor #shuttletatting #tatting #art #craftsky

A large white cat on the right is sniffing a silver picture frame. The frame holds a sketch of him done in ink and light watercolor. A green shuttle tatted doily in the shape of a plant sits directly on top of the sketch, so it looks like he is hiding behind a bush. The frame is held by the person taking the photo.

These little tools are apple scoops. They date from the 1800s and are made of sheep bone. They were common in apple-growing districts. The marrow has been hollowed out to allow the user to scrape off pieces of apple if they had few teeth and couldn’t afford dentures.

'Senescence' - my new aerial embroidery of a warm Autumn landscape. Moorland ponies dot the grass while a stream cuts through the scene. Now available along with a miniature of the same theme: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a...

An embroidery landscape depicting an aerial view of Autumn moorland. It has brown trees to the north of the hoop, grass to the south, with a road and stream cutting through it all.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Judgment (of the outfit someone wore when they died) (this angel is probably a he/they) #sketchbook #sketch #angel #traditionalart #pen

Scribbled in black ink is a smug angel, whose right hand is raised to let a butterfly rest on his fingers. His hair is long and nearly blends in with the olive leaves in his hair. He wears a very impractical robe, one breast out and part of his stomach visible. His wings and robes seem to melt into abstract shapes in this otherwise simplistic sketch.

He looks down with a small smirk

Weaving update: learning tablet weaving!!! 🧶 I lost track of my laurel leaves WIP and still need to untangle part of my weft 😭 I hope to make this into a headband Pattern for the WIP is from here: ladyelewys.carpevinumpdx.com/2023/09/06/e... #weaving #wip #tabletweaving

Photo of a sample band of white and green twisting together to make an alternating leaf pattern. The loom sits on top of a checkered desk, an extra weaving card, and various pieces of stationery. There is a moomin coaster as well.

Finished sample of my first tablet weaving pattern: my left hand holds a blue and gold alternating band that is rolled up into a little circle. At full length it’s over five feet long. The blurred tip of my loom sits in the bottom right corner of the background.

'All paths lead to water' - my newest aerial embroidery, inspired by the grounds of Antony House, Cornwall! I loved the radiating paths through the trees leading to the water edge so here's my take on the landscape... with kayakers! Now available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a...

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn aerial view landscape. The landscape depicts green-blue water, piers and kayakers with fluffy wool trees and rich green grass.

Made a small weaving pattern sample for myself with yarn from my LYS’s scrap bin c: Done on my little Funem frame loom 🧶 #weaving #craftsky

Photo of a small mug coaster-sized weaving sample previously woven on a frame loom. The warmer and cooler green are woven together in various patterns from solid horizontal stripes with small dashes of the other yarn, alternating vertical stripes, small attempts at twill weaving, and two rows of soumak (which look like a cute little braid). The lighter green yarn is a little sparkly. I think these are synthetic blends, but I am just enjoying the pretty scrap box green yarns for playing around.

The sample is draped over a grey blanket and to the left is a black cat peeking toward the camera from the background
