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

Two mushrooms nestled into succulents in the sunshine. One has a red top with white scales and stem, the other has a purple top with a brown stem

Five little wood slices with oil pastel drawings on them. One is a black cat silhouette against a dark blue sky, two are mushrooms with one red and the other purple, one is a moon and the fifth slice is a star

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.

First attempt at a crown for two very royal cats to fight over...I may have missed the part of the pattern that says it is kitten sized!! At least the plague doctor likes their new hat cap. 👑 #crochet #beginner #crown #plaguedoctor #fibrearts

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.

This is maybe my fifth time trying to crochet but my first time with a circle pattern, honestly amazed it came out looking circular! 😅

This evening I went back to trying to learn this strange witchcraft (crochet) and suddenly a circle appeared! #crochet #fibreart #beginner #newhobby #crochetishard

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.

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

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.

This quartz crystal mushroom sculpture is gently nudging the light up fairy house out of the top spot for my favourite make! This lives in a glass dome but there was too much reflection to include that in this video 😅 What mushie should I make next? #felting #mushroom #crystals #witch #magic
