I'm Psy, a hobby artist and amateur naturalist from Switzerland. To craft with different materials is a big love of mine. My speciality are little mushroom lamps. But I also dare to draw dragons and animal people.

Strange shapes of nature. Mushrooms never disappoint me when it comes to colour and shape. They never cease to fascinate me and amaze me every time. And what variety!

#mushrooms #forest #nature #fungi #Pilze
A beige coral-like formation, very delicate. Grows from the ground covered with pine needles. Another curiosity, it looks like some kind of underwater plant or coral. Also whitish on a needle-covered ground. A white and very fluffy-looking mushroom on a rotting tree trunk. It looks like a patch of fur. A mushroom in a typical coral shape, beige in colour and beautifully grown. One might think that the many ray-like arms were small turrets and rooms of an imaginative fairy castle. The ground is covered in leave litter.

Today is a day when I wouldn't care if it were my last. The only reason I don't do anything stupid is because there are people who care about me. And somehow I believe that better times will come again.

Art does not get easier the better you get at it.

Making art is hard. Making art is fun. Making art frustrating. Making art is passion. Making art is a lot of blood sweat and tears.

And I love every moment of the process.

Mushroom lamps in full action! Warm or cool light - each lamp brings their own unique vibe.

I still have some for sale! I also do commissions.

This piece is special… there’s a story behind it. I went on a #fungi foraging foray in Pacific Spirit park a couple of years ago (which is where I took the pic this piece is based on). The instructor told me lots of fungi react to UV light and if you use some kinds of UV reactive fungi to dye wool..

Red toadstools from my walk in the ‘mushroom forest’ last week. I hadn't seen any fly agaric for ages, and then I found a whole group. So beautiful!

#mushrooms #amanita #fungi #forest #nature #Pilz
A fly agaric mushroom with a colour gradient from red to orange at the edge. The mushroom is growing in the forest on pine needles. A typical fly agaric, bright red with lots of white spots. It is still young and its cap is still spherical. It stands on a small carpet of moss. A large fly agaric mushroom, tomato red in colour and with practically no white spots. It grows on a dead tree stump. Another typical fly agaric, straight out of a picture book. I think it will grow a little bigger, but it already looks perfect. The view is from above, looking down on the cap. It grows on forest soil with moss.

After almost two years, I have finally picked up a pen and paper again. It stresses me out that I still haven't found a new job, but the new “free time” seems to be reviving my creative spirit. Drawn on paper and colored digitally. I love the stamps in Photoshop!

Digital painting. A white dragon is sprawled out on a giant fly agaric. She has just been woken up, which is why she looks a little grumpy. All around her are more fly agaric, large and small, in green grass at the edge of a forest. The sky is clear blue with clouds.

Today, Fen and I visited the forest we know that has the most mushrooms. This is a highlight for me every year and a great pleasure. An event I wouldn't want to miss.

#mushrooms #fungi #forest #moss #Pilz #Wald
Two young red toadstools, still spherical growing in the forest. A white mushroom, side view. Beech leaves cover the ground and a leave leans against the mushroom. A group of brown mushrooms growing out of a tree trunk. An autumnal forest in the background. A small group of yellowish mushrooms, with some in the background as well.

God right now? Being cheered on and getting shoutouts is almost as good as gold. I make a lot of work in a vacuum; especially the mask patterns. It's just me and Theo and cats alone plucking away at art most hours of the day.

I've got the man in my living room! Keanu aka Neo is now guarding my collection. He has startled me twice already. I'm not used to seeing a black coated man standing in the room xD

My cosy home with my collection of odds and ends. In front of it is a cardboard cut-out/standee of actor Keanu Reeves in his role as Neo. He stands there looking cool, dressed entirely in black with sunglasses.
