For my first #ArtAdventCalendar this year I'm going for the piece that I'm proudest of, I really had a good play and experiment with it and am so happy with how it turned out. I'd had the idea for a while and then everything clicked...

#ArtSky #WildlifeArt #Moths

An original digital illustration by Loadofolbobbins of a group of 23 moths of different colourful species flying and perching around a lit light bulb, surrounded by foliage. The foliage and light bulb are all drawn in black, in the top left is a section of trailing ivy which leads to two thin branches, on of which has a Kentish Glory moth clinging to it. The light bulb is hanging in the centre of the image from a woven single light cord and the edison style bulbs filament is glowing. In the bottom right corner of the image is a large leaf with an equally large female emperor moth perched on it, just above this is a series of tall grasses, one of which has a scarlet tiger moth clinging to it. There is also a small clump of grass in the bottom left corner of the image which very slightly obscure a large emerald moth beneath. The other moths include a mint moth, peppered moth, ethmia pusiela, scarce forester moth, barred hook-tip moth, ruby tiger moth, brimstone moth, mother shipton moth, blood-vein moth, cinnabar moth, schreckensteinia festaliella, large fruit tree tortix moth, elephant hawk moth, buff ermine, red underwing moth, hummingbird hawk moth, hypercallia citrinilis, chrysoclistra linnella and the herald moth. All of these are either perched facing or flying around the light bulb.

Day 1 - ‘Over the Top’ - beads, embroidery and paint - a rendition of my very own MRI from 2022

A top view down brain completed in varying shades of glass beads with hand embroidery around the outside. Beyond the brain are glued down gemstones creating a frame of sorts and around that are cabochons as neurons in blue and green interconnecting with painted dendrites

A print out of my MRI utilized in creating the beaded piece - it sits on the canvas

Ooooh almost forgot - thanks for the reminder @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca - what a good excuse to share art! Anyone can join in the fun - guidelines below

Are You Ready???

#ArtAdventCalendar

#ArtAdventCalendar Guidelines
Art can be almost anything. Paintings, drawings, sculpture, textiles, beading, photography, digital. If you think it's art and it beautifies the timeline then post it. No NFTs or Al art please
PLEASE USE ALT TEXT
It does not matter if you "posted it last year".
You don't need to be a "professional" artist. If you make art at any experience level and want to show it off and make others happy, this is the event
Art must be original and it must be yours or from a family member with permission. Please don’t post works from other artists, old masters etc
Art does NOT have to be seasonal. It can be pretty much any subject, but please keep it family friendly-ish
Please don't cross post with just links to other platforms. Most links to other social media sites don't show with images at all and if they do they are usually thumbnails
Please do not post prices or use BUY NOW kinds of posts. We are bombarded with hard sell at this time of year and that's not what this is about. This is not meant to be a sales pitch. You can post links to your website if you like
Please share posts and follow participating artists. This is both an exercise to build a following of art lovers and to build a supportive community of fellow artists. If you like someone else's work, let them know!
As "organizer" I do my best to share all art during the month but if I miss a post, please don't take it as an insult or commentary on your work. There are a lot of posts and I will miss a few. Note that I won't share posts that contain prices or buy now content
Post daily or as much as you can with the hashtag #ArtAdvent Calendar There is no specified time to post. It's a worldwide event so time you post isn't that important
Don't worry if you miss a day or two. Post even if you only have 1 thing to show off that makes the timeline brighter
While the event dates are the 1st to the 24th, feel free to continue to post until the end of the month if you like

This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns.

The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.
