A trio of tiny fabric baskets. The opening to each on is about the size of a toonie (or slightly larger than a quarter if you're in the US).

No one said this had to be recent art, right? My mom recently regifted this pottery tile that I made when I was a kid back to me. She says that it's good because you can tell what it is. Thanks, Mom.

I've been dabbling in lino block printmaking and I was pleased with this little mountain scene.

This miniature stained glass set of drawers is from a few years back. It's roughly seven inches tall.

I made this embroidered aerial view of a shoreline a few years back. It includes different yarn fibres for the waves and patterned fabric rocks.

Another of my embroidered soft sculpture projects, this one is decorated with beads in addition to stitches. It wasn't my intention, but it definitely reminds me of a jellyfish.

An abstract embroidery from a couple of years ago. I love the colour transitions that come from using variegated threads.

Back when I used to make stained glass, I liked to combine glass with yarns and other fibres to get different colour and texture combinations. I really liked this red and green set of coasters.

Because why do one craft when you can do them all, I also make handmade books. This is a reversible palm leaf style binding featuring song lyrics from Tom Waits in one direction and Noah Reid in the other.

I'm obsessed with the forms and textures that come from embroidering on soft sculpture objects. These three seed heads use the same pattern with different colours and fibres.

I went way back into the archives for Day 2 of #ArtAdventCalendar for this jewelry box made from stained glass. Yes, it's all one piece and the drawers do open.

I've been in a bit of an art drought lately, but I made this little lino block this morning and I'm pretty happy with it.
