A non-wooden set of mushrooms for your perusal. I’ve no idea what they are, but they’re saved from the woodpile for a while. #mushrooms #fungi #shrooms #fungus

I’d plead for someone to stop me, but my inner eighties child is responding to this method of healing. Pretty much every-fricking-media I own on a sycamore shroom. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #mushrooms #scottishcrafts #shrooms #bling #fairycore #scottishmade #sailloftstudio #psychedelic

Bit of an experiment with this one. Tea jar? Flour container? It’s very pale ash, and you can see the grain in good light. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #scottishcrafts #latheturned #decor #interiordecor #sailloftstudio #kitchenware #teajar #landscape

Thanks, Casey! I was gonna go for a blue-purple-white thing and thankfully I ditched it! But I’m going bananas with my next palette.

Despite using paper appropriate for art markers, I’ve struggled to get the results I’ve wanted & ruined some pics. After this one, I’m going back to doing art on wood as I have for decades. If it was good enough for medieval iconographers, it’s good enough for me. #illustration #pagan #pagansrt

Spalting’s a fancy word for tree rot. A little woodturning blasphemy: I don’t much like it. But I’m learning to appreciate it occasionally, like in the green guy here. (See the webbed lines) #woodcraft #woodturning #mushrooms #scottishcrafts #goblincore #cottagecore #fairycore #scottishmade

We stopped by The Curios Crow in Dunoon yesterday to say hi to Jan, owner of the best curiosity shop in Argyll & Bute. Our shrooms can be found among the many treasures there, and if you’re ever in town, be sure to stop by and take a look! #curioscrow #scottishshops #sailloftstudios #mushrooms

One last for today! Some more lovely-harvested shrooms made from Dunoon wood! The green one glows in the dark. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #mushrooms #scottishcrafts #shrooms #goblincore #cottagecore #fairycore #scottishmade

The orange vase, turned and stained by Scott, deserved a second look in better lighting. Stain on Dunoon birch. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #scottishcrafts #latheturned #decor #interiordecor #sailloftstudio

This is one of Scott’s creations, from start to finish including the paint job. I think he did an excellent job. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #scottishcrafts #latheturned #decor #interiordecor #sailloftstudio #woodenbox

Here are a couple of shrooms from our latest batch. Sometimes, though rarely, the grain on sycamore’s too good not to show. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #mushrooms #scottishcrafts #shrooms #goblincore #cottagecore #fairycore #scottishmade #witchy #toadstool

Wee yellow hazel mushroom we coppiced a while ago. When cut back, even down to bare ground, hazel regrows. Folk belief says it bestows wisdom, prophecy, & poetic inspiration. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #mushrooms #scottishcrafts #shrooms #goblincore #cottagecore #fairycore #scottishmade

Some of us still do. This was a cool video, by the way.

My welsh dresser and the new, partially-.finished hallway cupboard meant to hold bath towels have been appropriated for other use. Also, can you spot the creepy deer?

This has been harrowing to finish. In my ignorant bliss, I’d no idea acrylic marker paper HATES other media. It made my alcohol markers & linework inks smear. But six days later, I’m done. Menolly, from the Dragonsong series by Anne McCaffrey. #pern #menolly #dragonsong #dragonridersofpern #fanart

More shot glasses. Sometimes I choose to paint the insides, sometimes I make a mess and am forced to do so. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #scottishcrafts #latheturned #decor #shotglasses

I’ve spilled so much expensive ink today. Mute it if you don’t want your sensibilities offended.

Me, painting one of many shrooms in our new batch. I’m still a bit camera-shy.

Even if you’re not into woodturning, there’s something ASMR-satisfying about seeing wood shavings fly. Scott’s making shrooms on this rainy Scottish Sunday. #woodturning #handmade #mushroom #scottishcrafts

More plum jars! They’re all sycamore. It’s a pity the camera can’t catch the grain-flash of the green one. Hubs sanded and polished it to a high sheen. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #scottishcrafts #latheturned #decor #interiordecor #kitchenware #sailloftstudiocreations

Proof that lighting makes all the difference. One of our sycamore plum jars, painted rather effusively by me. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #scottishcrafts #latheturned #decor #interiordecor #sycamore #sailloftstudiocreations #woodturned

And this is why Scott doesn’t really want me near his lathe. (We have two.) Imagine if I’d been using crimson inks and paints today.

Kat at Sail Loft Studio @nibblekat.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Two of my favorites. Normally, there’s not much texture to our shrooms, but I got a little over-enthusiastic with the orange one and it’s got a pleasing tactile feel. Sycamore. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #mushrooms #scottishcrafts #shrooms #goblincore #cottagecore #fairycore #scottishmade

More of our recent batch, created from wood we sustainably harvest ourselves here in Scotland. Most are painted by me, but the blue and orange vases were stained by Scott. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #scottishcrafts #latheturned #decor #interiordecor #mushrooms #shrooms #vase #stainedwood

This is a piece we’re both proud of. I recreated a previous paint scheme I did a few years ago and here it is on a sycamore vase turned and lacquered by Scott. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #scottishcrafts #latheturned #decor #interiordecor #vase

Kat at Sail Loft Studio @nibblekat.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

And some group shots, just because. Some of these may get a single post each at some point in the future. All of these are sycamore. Mushrooms are my favorite to paint. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #mushrooms #scottishcrafts #shrooms #goblincore #cottagecore #fairycore #scottishmade

Another shot glass! These are made with alcohol-safe, food-grade lacquer. Paint job by me. Beech. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #scottishcrafts #latheturned #shotglass #woodencup

Shiny shot glass without a nice soundtrack. Sycamore with a little… a whole lotta… flair. What can I say, my inner eighties kid loves sparkles. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #scottishcrafts #latheturned #shotglass #woodencup

Your art is gorgeous, and yes! Pern was such a huge component of my teen years, so it’s glad to see others who love it as much as me. I’m rereading the books as a nearly-50-year-old. In fact, right now I’m about to start…

That looks rad. And weirdly like a stick I burned six years ago. Great job on it! Love it.

Me toooooo! I’m going to have to scroll back through all of your posts to see if I can find your finished version.

Some more creations! These are all sycamore. Now my art desk is covered in moss and wood shavings from the big oak slices in the background. 🤣 #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #mushrooms #scottishcrafts #shrooms #goblincore #cottagecore #fairycore #scottishmade #decor #interiordecor

Sometimes when I have a nice slice of wood, I paint things on it. I slapped the one on the left out in a few hours. The other was a gift to the hubs, a reminder of our visit to Avebury-she’s the Wishing Tree. #fairies #fae #faeries #humanmade #illustration #pagan #druid #acrylicart #tradart

This one’s spalted a little! I wanted to showcase it today despite the lack of proper staging. Inks, woodstains, acrylics. #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #mushrooms #scottishcrafts #shrooms #goblincore #cottagecore #fairycore #scottishmade #pagan #wiccan #wiccancore #witchy #decor

One of my favorite tinies, a sycamore shroom of smallish proportions. We’re working on proper website and this one and many others will be up for grabs in the near(ish) future! #handmade #woodcraft #woodturning #mushrooms #scottishcrafts #shrooms #goblincore #cottagecore #fairycore #scottishmade
