Taught my first workshop yesterday! It was abstract alcohol ink landscapes. They did a fabulous job! Learned landscapes then just played making flowers and trees and just abstracts, finding their flow! It was so fun! I even learned from them how to make great trees! 😁 One of these is mine. ☀️

It's weird how ALL FOUR wonky, organic ends of the little felt I made this morning for this very piece, MATCH my sketched out mountains EXACTLY! I didn't plan it. Kinda freaky actually! 😳 Plus the colours are FABULOUS next to blue!🤗☀️ #FibreArt #MixedMediaPainting #ArtworkInProgress

Finished my latest! "Xena & Xantha" I like to name my elephants!☀️ Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. A painted over canvas that I had covered with molding paste to give it a velvety smooth, but also rustic texture. The paint took to it like it was board! Hand dyed cheesecloth. #ArtYear #MixedMedia

Just standing there observing people come up to check it out was interesting too. One said that they heard about it from others around the fair, and had to come check it out. It gave me such a confidence boost! I can't wait to make more now! 🤗☺️

This one also got first place for flat needle felting. 😁 My polka dot pod took 2nd in the wet felt vessel category and my pink and orange pod took third. ☺️

Multicoloured hills are in the middle with larger blue hills in the distance. Cylindrical green trees are in the middle and cylindrical bright pink tree are on each side. A large sun with rays radiating out from it, is in a blue sky. A red first place ribbon is next to it.

I'm still grinning at this sight! 🤗I've only been felting since last November! I approach it in the same way I paint. 😁

Inspired by Rousseau flowers. Jungle theme in general too, apparently, but not on purpose. The flowers are on purpose. I'm going to use them often, I think! 🥰😁

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

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

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
A dreamy fantasy landscape features cliffs with floral vines on the right, green pointy hills on the left with three large trees in front of them, blue, magenta, and green. On the right, in front of the cliffs, are two smaller pointy green hills,with a magenta tree and a woman sitting beneath it(the artist) reading a book. There is a body of blue water in the middle and lighter green mountains in the distance, with small trees on their surfaces. A swirly aqua coloured portal is embedded in one. In the foreground there are wildflowers in magenta, lilac and white, with white stones along the bottom. The sky is light blue with subtle white puffy clouds, and a spaceship hovers in it.

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
Needle felted landscape features bright green fields in the foreground, with swirly bales in gold flanking a path that stretches into the distance.

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
Wet and needle felted landscape features lush green hills in the foreground, multicoloured hills in the middle, with fields of lavender on each side. Blue mountains are in the distance and the sky is various shades of orange and yellow with a swirly sun. There are large teardrop shaped trees in gold and green, and tall cylindrical shaped trees in pinks and blue. A stream runs through the fields with rocks along its banks. Two small cottages sit on the hills flanked by the trees.

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.🛸🪐🤓
