The first four paintings for the challenge I’m hosting over on ig~ ✨
Which one’s your favourite so far?

#TraditionalArt #Painting #FantasyArt #MixedMedia #Gouache #ColoredPencil

A photo of four portrait-format paintings, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by different conifer branches, hag stones, palo santo, and Icelandic moss. The paintings feature (from left to right and top to bottom): a shadowy figure under an old bridge in a conifer forest with blue light; a thin cairn in an autumn coloured wet land under a hazy sun; an enormous horned silhouette rising out of the mist in a valley with conifers and rocky outcrops; a mossy bridge spanning a tiny stream in a dense forest, dappled light in the foreground.

Picture of two keychains photographed in front of a dark wood and black border; matching felt and threads as well as needle tree branches are framing them.
Both keychains are handmade with felt and each represent a bat with purple wings and lighter purple body; they have big ears made of a three-coloured orange gradient. Their cheeks are round and orange and two small bright yellow eyes are embroidered over them. One of the keychain has its wings closed over its face, they are held in that position by two mini magnet hidden in the tips of their wings.

A small watercolor ATC card depicts an old stone bridge with a gently arched shape, built from irregular stones in shades of warm brown and cool gray. The bridge crosses a narrow stream that reflects soft blue and green tones, surrounded by lush vegetation and small yellow flowers. Stone steps lead upward on the left side, bordered by dense greenery and pink blossoms. In the background, a white house with a red roof is partly visible behind trees with orange and green foliage under a bright blue sky. Surrounding the card are two pastel markers on the left, three colored pencils in red, blue, and green on the right, and two watercolor pans in green and orange below.

Test prints for the first two birds!
I decided to print them in A6, add their latin names, and give them a vintage look by adding a pale brownish background!
Coming soon!

#SmallBusiness #Birds #BirdSky #Art #Illustration

Picture of 4 prints of 2 different bird drawings: two back-striped woodcreepers on a loose piece of mossy stump; and two Bornean Leafbirds on a thin loose branch. Their Latin names as well as the person who named them and the date are written on the paper.

“Ancient Bridge”
4th painting for the October challenge~

#TraditionalArt #MixedMedia #Gouache #ColoredPencil #Nature #LandscapeArt #Forest

A photo of a portrait-format painting placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by a paint brush, coloured pencils, a bit of an open sketchbook, hag stones, Icelandic moss, and different conifer branches. The painting features an old stone bridge, overgrown with moss, spanning a tiny stream in a dense conifer forest. Warm dappled light falls on the bridge in the foreground, specs of dust and tiny insects sparkling in the light. Bluish light filters through the trees in the far background.

Soon, you will finally be able to get prints of my bird doodles! I’m still super proud of them and have been wanting to do this for a while! I will offer them individually, as a full set, and probably as a big print with all 13 of them.

A photo of a portrait-format painting placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by a paint brush, coloured pencils, part of a sketchbook, hag stones, and conifer branches. The painting features the silhouette of an enormous shadowy creature with thin curved horns and abnormally long arms rising out of the mist in a grassy valley bordered by conifers.

A Leif in the foreground and leaves in the background. No? Off-topic?

A photo of my small, round green-cheek conure named Leif perched on my thumb, wearing a silly little smile. A desk with art supplies and two calatheas are visible in the background.

This handmade chili pepper is the perfect way to add a little bit of spice to any bag or keys! 🔥

#art #handmade #cute #sewing #embroidery #accessories #giftIdeas #SmallBusiness

Picture of a handmade, felt, hot chili pepper bag charm photographed on a black and wooden background, surrounded with decorative plants and matching threads and felt. The bag charm has an angular U shape, as if the pepper was lying on its side, with its “legs” up. Its body is a three colour gradient: red, orange, and yellow. Two line-shaped eyes are embroidered in black as well as a white exclamation point-shaped shine on the side. On the top of it’s head, it is wearing a two-toned green stem hat composed of 3 points. On the top of its head, a little ivory ribbon connects it to a golden lobster clasp.
