Sewing black trim on black lace netting is not for the faint hearted...or long sighted. Hopefully this spooky season project will be worth the eye strain! #sewing #blacklace #halloween #spookyseason #fibrearts

Black lace netting with black trim pinned to a rough edge and a threaded needle part way through a stitch.

This was such a cute pattern to stitch and a nice thing to look back on at the end of summer. The pattern is from Stitchdoodles! #embroidery #bunnies #Summer #flowers #rabbits

Tis the season for spooky hot chocolates! 👻 Just kidding - we use these cups all year round! #halloween #ghost #autumn #hotchocolate #spookyseason

Two cups of white hot chocolate. The cup on the left is black with a ghost and 'Little Boo' underneath. The cup on the right is a black and grey cauldron shape. Both cups have spoons in them.

I tried painting pottery at a local cafe and they came out so pretty!! Definitely going to try it again! #mushrooms #pottery #ceramic #painting #whimsicalart

The Forgotten Giant I remember seeing the giants at The Lost Gardens of Heligan as a kid. When I started felting it became a goal to make something inspired by them. One day I'll try the mossy head, for now I have started with this big nosed little guy! #needlefelting #giant #whimsy #crystals #moss

Front view of a needle felted sculpture of a giant head partially buried with crystals growing from the side and a mossy bush behind it. Text on the image reads 'Inspired by the giants at The Lost Gardens of Heligan...'

Left side view of a needle felted sculpture of a giant head partially buried with crystals growing from the side and a mossy bush behind it. Text on the image reads 'But with my own whimsical spin'

Right side view of a needle felted sculpture of a giant head partially buried with crystals growing from the side and a mossy bush behind it. Text on the image reads 'Needle felted giant and mossy mound with fake moss and real quartz crystals'

Slightly different front view at more of an angle of a needle felted sculpture of a giant head partially buried with crystals growing from the side and a mossy bush behind it. Text on the image reads 'I want to make more...'

This little embroidery was made while playing Baldurs Gate 3 with my bestie. I have finally taken videos and photos of most of my creations over the last year-ish so there is a lot more to come of my embroideries, felting and crochet :) #embroidery #swords #roses #gothicart #crafts

A different kind of project using polymer clay and acrylic paints this time. I just needed a stick of some kind to switch on the plug sockets from my desk but why not make it ✨ whimsical✨ as well?! #polymerclay #acrylicpaint #wand #whimsy #magical

I've decided to work my way through the granny square crochet card deck and here are the first three! Not too shabby for a beginner 😅 #crochet #fibrearts #grannysquares #beginner

3 crochet granny squares on a purple background. 2 using green, orange, yellow and brown yarns. 1 just using a green colour changing yarn.

Why did no one tell me yarn winders are so fun?! I found a bunch of scrappy wool in local charity shops this week so I've untangled it all and used a cheap yarn winder to make these cute little yarn cakes after struggling to make a circle with the lilac! #crochet #fibrearts #yarn #wool #newhobby

5 yarn cakes (1 cream, 1 pale blue, 2 turquoise and 1 colour changing that is mostly brown with flecks of blue and orange) and a lilac circle.

I had a viewer in chat tonight express that they feel bad 'bothering' an artist for a commission. Please know. It is never a bother to give an artist a living and show interest in hiring them. If an artist has commissions open, they are asking for work. You are not a bother, you are a hero💚

More attempts at crochet, this time inspired by @elfythemossy-64.bsky.social and their project to put wisteria on everything. I definitely need more practice but I'm happy with how these are coming along so far! #crochet #wisteria #fibreart #whimsicaldecor #nature #beginnerproject

Crochet wisteria hung on a bronze arrow jewellery stand. The left one has tighter loops from its 6mm hook, the other two have looser loops from an 8mm hook with the one on the right being the longest and chunkiest so far.

Generative AI isn’t improving anything—on the contrary, slop fatigue and scraping scares are making reading and publishing more difficult, and less free. We need communities resilient to Big Tech’s hostile takeover. We need human minds, human art, and human voices more than ever.

Sharing my current embroidery for #wipwednesday as it is the project I've been most focused on recently! I still can't decide the line colour, maybe a dark brown? The pattern is from Stitchdoodles. #embroidery #slowstitching #mindfulness #crafts

AI isn’t winning—its marketing is. AI generated “art” is feckless, unoriginal, and… kinda sad. Everyone knows it. Meanwhile, creatives are getting organized. Faced with the slopification of creative work, our purpose is clear: keep on writing. The human resistance has only just begun.

My first attempt at that strange witchcraft they call crochet. Any recommendations for easy to follow tutorials welcome! This is far from perfect but I'm pretty happy with this actually forming a *thing!* #crochet #fibreart #yarn #beginner #crafts

Brown chunky wool crochet square. It is a very messy and uneven attempt at using (english) double crochet stitches.

My desk is looking so much better with these bunnies that I needle felted and the drawers I heavily altered to fit in and stained to match! More info in the alt text as it didn't fit here. #needlefelting #woodwork #fibrearts #bunnies #crystals #darkacadamia #decor #desk #whimsicaldecor #crafter

Three sections of an Old Charm Bureau split with two horizontal sections on top of each other then a vertical section on the right. The section to the right has a 3 drawer unit that I adapted to fit in there and stained dark oak to match the bureau. The top left section has a dark oak stained catch-all drawer made with the scraps of the drawer unit. The bottom left section has a needle felted tree stump and mossy mound with 5 needle felted bunnies and two crystals cut to look like flowers and three polished crystals.

I've been playing with the oil pastels this evening. I definitely need to learn how to draw trees (or just how to draw in general) but blending the sky colours was fun! #newhobby #oilpastel #sunset #sunrise #drawing #landscapes #nightsky #sky #art #drawing

Two small oil pastel pictures with colourful skies and tree silhouettes. One has a pink, purple, blue colour with white stars. The other has an orange glow at the horizon with blue and white sky.
