☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Taught 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. ☀️ 060
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Made a bright little coin purse for the upcoming fibre arts sale through my textile arts guild! Adorable dog not included. 😁🥰☀️ #Felting #FibreArt 160
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Cat cave number 1 is finished for an upcoming fibre arts sale with my textile arts guild! Of which I joined two weeks ago. I am feeling so welcomed and valued by all the talented people there! 😺⭐️☀️ #FibreArt #UsefulArt #TextileArt 050
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 08/09/2026It'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 161
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I'm needle felting a bear and some little stars to add to my latest wet felt fantasy landscape piece. 😊☀️ #FibreArt #NeedleFelting 1325

☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Finished 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 020
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Just 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! 🤗☺️ 030
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 17/08/2026This 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. ☺️ 030
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I'm still grinning at this sight! 🤗I've only been felting since last November! I approach it in the same way I paint. 😁 2100
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 17/08/2026I won for the Excellence award for felting! 😁 250
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Inspired 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! 🥰😁 051
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 15/08/2026I entered the local country fair with my two felted landscapes, two felted pods, and a pastel painting. Just got a notification that they want me there tomorrow for the "Awards of Excellence" presentation!🥳 I was just hoping for an honourable mention. 😆 1130
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Great brush for doing palm trees!😊☀️ #WorkInProgress 070
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 03/08/2026WIP 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 0100
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 02/08/2026WIP 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 0111
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I 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. ❤️ 030
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 23/07/2026A mama AND a baby elephant emerged! 🤗 Think I might do a wall of tropical flowers and trees on the left, that the two come upon as they leave the tall tree forest. 😁🌴🌺 040
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I 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 2120
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I'm procrastinating on doing anything with my current WIP. So I'm doing a lot of just hanging out on the front porch with my little boss instead. lol 🥰 060
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 09/07/2026This little thing was quite the hit with the other art club ladies who do pastels! They were astounded that I could do such a small piece with my chunky soft pastels. So I did another today when we all got together, for their enjoyment! 😆 😁☀️ 010
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Doing 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 1110
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Jim has great solo work as well! I could listen to him all day.❤️ 020
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 23/06/2026"Blue Forest" alcohol inks on Yupo Sometimes I just like to do little abstracts. 😊☀️ #BlueTue #ColorADay #AbstractArt #ArtYear #AlcoholInks #BlueArt #Blue 170
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 21/06/2026The 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 1103
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 21/06/2026This 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 0291
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Been "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 2778
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Picture the pink one way larger, with a bigger entrance hole. lol 100
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Thank you!😊 My felted landscapes are also very “me”. It’s just another medium to “paint” with! 😁 010
☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Been 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 7366

☀️SunshyneArt☀️ @sunshyneart.bsky.social · 01/06/2026I 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.🛸🪐🤓 030
