Only 8 hours of daylight, and our lighting is too low to show the colours well, but I have been pretty obsessively embroidering. 😝
A close up of green satin stitching in a curvey abstract pattern. Green satin stitching in a swirling pattern inside a wooden embroidery hoop.

New swirly embroidery, going back to some inspiration from a few years ago. My satin stitch work has definitely improved since then :>
Some cream coloured fabric in an embroidery hoop. There are some odd loops of green floss stitched into it, only just begun.

'Breathe', 2019.

The first embroidery I did. Chronic pain bleeds into everything, and it can be hard to fins beauty and calm when it drowns everything. #art
A medium embroidery hoop with black cloth in it. Blue floss in the middle spells 'breathe'. It is surrounded by green leafy vines that are regularly interrupted with erratic, spikey red stitching. The raw edges of the fabric stick out on all sides, frayed.

Playing with extruders and coloured clay for these space rocks.

Curious to see how they'll change when fired. #ceramics #art
A circle of clay on a plaster form. There are yellow and green swirls in the clay, visible beneath the rough textures on the surface. It is held in hand, perhaps 6 inches in diameter. A small circle of clay with yellow and green swirls on it. There are sculpted marks that follow the pattern of the coloured clay. It is on a small plaster form, and is maybe 4-inches diameter.

'Bottled', 2021, 11x14-inch bristol paper.
A black and white ink drawing of a generalised person stuck inside a glass bottle. Their eyes are tired, severe and sad, and their mouth is a broken jagged edge that separates their head from their body. Given the shape of the bottle, they could not escape without breaking it.

Been working on this embroiderey piece, called 'Doctor's Orders'.

Trying to decide if I it needs more. 🤔 I feel like something is missing.
A horizontal length of fabric with the words 'Just Exercise' embroidered in light purple. Inside the bold lettering are smaller, dark lettered words comprised of a host of chronic illness symptoms.

Three different leafy varieties in this wall hanging, inspired by liverworts and mosses. #wip #ceramic #art
A close up of various leafy clay shapes on a half circle of clay, meant to hang on a wall. The clay is still grey and wet. Leafy shapes hug each side of this half orb, curving around a rough bark texture. It currently sits on a canvas table, the clay still wet.

Sculpting some note wall hangings, combining organic and inorganic shapes.

#ceramic #art
A clay wall sculpture of leaves and rocky shapes, overlapping each other atop a circle. It is less than a foot across. A small circle clay sculpture with leafy shapes on it, each overlapping each other. My hand is beside it on the left for scale.

Got a kiln load back, my fave drips are in this slender vase. Shows off the throw lines too 😊 #pottery
Looking into a fluted, wheel thrown vase glazed in blue rutilr and dripped with green. Concentric circles that are the throw lines are visible inside. A blue rutile, fluted vase held in hand. Drips of glaze run down over the throw limes on the exterior.

'Windy Beaudry Park', 2025, acrylic on 16x24-inch canvas.

#painting #art
A vertical painting on canvas, depicting a windy riparian forest in the autumn. One main tree dominates the middle, its trunk and branches dark compared to the orange and yellow leaves. Other branches and leaves intrude on the left side, and fill the forest along the bottom. A bright blue sky creates a sharp contrast against the golden leaves.

Another autumn painting in progress, because I cannot resist mmm! Also of Beaudry Park trees. I love painting trees 😌

#art #wip #painting
A vertical painting in progress, with some vague tree trunks and patches of autumn coloured leaves. The next step of the painting, having the same trunk and trees, but now the sky behind it is a vibrant blue.

Here's an in progress of it. Might be tedious to some, but sculpting all the little bits was so satisfying! 😌
A canvas covered table with clay shapes cut out upon it, alongside numerous wooden sculpting tools. On the right is a half circle plaster mould with clay on it and sculpted, lobed shapes attached.

Plant shapes on a dome, I'll see how well it survives drying? Meant to hang on the wall.

I'll take more photos if it survives firing hah!
A roundish sculpture of clay moss or coral like lobes, overlapping each other and sculpted to give them depth and shape.

'Beaudry Park Autumn', 2025, acrylic on canvas.
#art #painting
A vertical acrylic painting of a riverside forest in the resplendent yellows and oranges of autumn. Dark tree trunks stand out and most lean left, as though shaped by prevailing winds. The blue sky behind makes the colours stand out even more.

'Fiddlehead', 2023, acrylic on 16x24-inch canvas.

Have this hanging up at home right now.

#art #painting
A painting of a macro view of a few centimetres of a fiddlehead, an ostritch fern leaf that is not yet unfurled. The stem bisects the canvas, away from which pinnules and pinna that make up the blade wrap away from the rachis stem. The entire painting is a vibrant green, and is detailed to show little hairs ans light glinting off tiny parts made large in paint. The painting rests on a wood canvas in a plain studio space.

'This too shall pass', 2021, ink on cardstock.

A phrase that is ever in my thoughts.
A small cardstock ink drawing of a sun with an eye in it, radiating a variety of abstract shapes. Within the rays is written this too shall pass.

All of them together to show the variety and scale.
A collection of circular space rocks spread out on hardwood floor, alongside my leg. They are various sizes and colours, but none are larger than 30cm in diameter.
