I've been quiet on the SocMeds for a bit, quiet in my art practice too. I did this piece a few weeks ago (for Moonshine 2025, Effy Wild's art witchery course). I love her, but she's a bit too neat for me; I like grungy, messy, painterly. But, she's how she wanted to be and that's that lol.

This image shows a painting I recently did. A stylized portrait of a woman. The colours are bold and vibrant. She has purple hair flowing upwards and a matching purple top to balance the piece. Her eyes are violet to match. She has three yellow sunflowers around her, one in her hair, one on her shoulder and a third in the background beside her. The background is turquoise and she has a turquoise band around the neckline of her top. This style is very neat and clean and not my usual style. In the image there are also some art supplies shown.

Pulled the "sovereign" card from a prompt deck. Took 5 mins free writing then went to my mini Goddess art journal. Bear showed up, which for me is always a connection to the Bear Goddess Artio.

On a green background is a monochrome bear. Simple and stylised, not realistic. On the bear, to the lower left of the image, are white dots and gold splatters. On the opposite side, higher up on the bears shoulder are some white dots. The bear is outlined in white. She has a gold crown above her head. On the right, from her ear to her shoulder is printed in black the word "Sovereign"

Art as a Soothing Flame: Processing Injustice Through Creativity

Last week was an impossibly heavy week. As a trans person—and as someone who fiercely loves a trans woman - it’s been hard to breathe under the weight of what’s happening. As an Autistic person with the strong sense of justice common to my neurotype, the UK Supreme Court ruling has shaken something deep in my nervous system. It's not just policy, it's personal.

In my mini nature Goddess art journal. About perimenopause, wisdom, reclaiming my identity and power.
#Art #ArtJournaling #MixedMedia #ArtistsOfBlueSky #ArtIsMagick #WitchyArtist #OriginalArt #TraditionalArt #MixedMediaPainting #MixedMediaArtJournaling #SpoonieArtist #ArtHeals #ArtForWellness

Mini art journal page of an owl. The background is fluorescent pink. The owl is stylised and whimsical. Drawn in water soluble black pencil and lightly washed to give the owl a slight grey tint. Then drawn over again in black paint pen to darken the outline. Bright yellow and black dots pattern her wings. Black and white dots around her face. She has a pair of antlers on her head, (I know, it's my thing). Between her antlers is a bright yellow crown. Down the side of the owl is Stamped the word "Queen". There is white scribbled journaling down the right side of the page. Also in the image on the left are the pink and yellow paint pens used.

Make peace with all the #women you once were
Lay flowers at their feet
Offer them incense & forgiveness
#Honour them
Listen
#Bless them & let them be
For they're the bones of the temple you sit in now
For they're the rivers of #wisdom leading you to the sea
I have been one thousand different women 💚

An overwhelming week so far and more to come. Took some time to art and regulate my nervous system. In my mini nature goddess art journal.

#Art #ArtHeals #ArtForWellness #ArtJournaling #MixedMedia #SpoonieArtist #WitchyArtist #ArtIsMagick #TraditionalArt #Painting #OriginalArt #ArtistsOfBlueSky

Mini art journal page. A simple stylised figure in black and white. A yellow crown on her head. Yellow butterfly wings on her shoulder and arm. The background is a light turquoise blue. There is some scribbled journal writing in white on the blue background. There are black ink spots on the crown, butterflies and her dress. A word sticker reads "to the best of her ability". Also visible in the image are my fingers in the bottom left, ad a yellow posca paint marker at the top.

Yesterday, my witchy walk with @legoblingorlarts.bsky.social had us admiring pink blossoms on the way to the village and chatting with Robins in the cemetery. Today they are in my mini Nature Goddess art journal.
#Art #ArtJournaling #MixedMedia #WitchyArtist #Witch #Nature

Photo 1 of 3. A two page, mixed media, art journal spread. On the left page. A Pink Blossom. On the right page, a European Robin bird, perched on a curved white shape representing a gravestone. The background of both pages is sky blue and white. Showing through the blue are the under layers of collage papers. Theses are a gold spotty tissue paper and some antique sheet music. The spotty can be seen most clearly to the top right of the Robin. With some visible to the lower left of the blossom. The sheet music can be seen showing through the paint in the area representing the gravestone. On the left page, to the top left and lower right of the blossom, are some bright pink spots of mark making. Coming out from the left of the blossom, and also from the Robins back, are some white leafy doodles. There are some tiny black and white heart doodles on the Robin. There are black and white splats of ink across both pages. To the centre top, and on the gravestone, is some scribbled journal writing in white paint marker. The next two photos are close ups of each page. Also on this photo across the top are some art supplies I used, some Neo Colour crayons, a bright pink paint marker, and the collage papers.
