U.S customers, my miniature paintings are exempt from tariffs, so the postage remains much the same!

The blog is published. The Witch is waiting with strong tea and muttering something about 'confounded technology'. Stop by for a cuppa and some tree lore.

"Sparrow And The Skull"
Thread painting
This is the only hand embroidery on wallpaper full image artwork I have ever made. I love it but it was incredibly fragile to make. I've only shown it a couple of times because I couldn't part with it, but it is in my webshop.

A low light pink flower pattern wallpaper with black paint drips on the upper left corner. In the middle is a hand embroidered human skull with a male house sparrow standing on top. Both skull and sparrow are looking towards the left.

In Celtic folklore, the red squirrel is sometimes seen as a messenger between the living and the spirit world. Its quick, nimble movements reinforced the idea that it could traverse different realms.
Art my own.

New dangle earring design I'm trying to finish before launch. Not polished yet. Beast and a half to polish, so I'm going to mostly do a 'glossy, but not mirror' finish.

Someone sent this photo of a painting they bought from me. It's lovely to see your work hanging in someone's home.
In other news, there might not be a blog tomorrow as Ko-fi won't allow me to save my work 🙄. It's half written, and I'm more than a little hacked off.

Looking for a little magic? I'm slowly adding more labradorite pendants, and US shipping is open once more - it may be slower than usual, but nothing has changed on your side (the tariff stuff all gets sorted at my post office).

Evening all. Sharing this wee hedgehog display dish. I made the little dish from kiln free clay and then painted this little snowy scene. Unique for a gift and one of a kind, you can view it here 👇
