Please continue to make art that you enjoy! Even if nobody else likes it or buys it or it doesn’t get traction like you had hoped, please keep making things that give you butterflies and remind you why you create #artist #artistsonbluesky

A little sneak peak at this new Doxie pattern coming June 1st! I felt the peachy roses were to light, so added some mauve and gold roses instead 🐶 #doglover #embroidery

Does anybody else remember the days of club penguin, and when garage had candy at the checkout, and Aeropostale and Wii games? #thursdaynolstalgia #tbt

Two fugitives teaming up! 🦹‍♂️🦹‍♀️ Aureolin Yellow PY40 + Rose Madder Genuine NR9 = soft oranges in a tight value range. Did you know Rose Madder by W&N has a divine scent? It’s from the madder root or perhaps added bergamot oil (sources disagree). 🕵️‍♀️🔎

Watercolor chart with 20 colors, all mixed from Aureolin and Rose Madder Genuine. A very tight value range of oranges, from red orange to light apricot and orange-yellow.

Do you ever procrastinate working on the number one priority, but instead, work on other things that need to be done eventually so really you're putting it off, but still doing your future self a solid #selfemployed

Keep making and sharing your art. It is vital, especially now.

My energy levels have been extraordinarily low and it has been near impossible to paint, but scrolling and seeing your art has been such a gift.

Thank you, beautiful artists!

I think this Colourful Cactus might be my fave new pattern from the Desert Dreams collection 🌵✨ It was very satisfying to pull some vibrant shades & do a bit of layering work with the bigger flowers! You can find this colourful now in shop! ☀️ #embroidery #artistsonbluesky

I know we are going through a wave of non-filtered/edited content right now & I think it’s so refreshing for authenticity sake, but just a reminder that editing can bring SO much back to a grim photo. The contrast, the correct colour matching and even the exposure can do wonders #contentcreation
