Sweating out of fear this won’t work, but right now, I’m still telling myself: “trust the process!”
This is dyed pure silver leaf. I can’t even tell everyone how utterly annoying this material is, compared to gold leaf. It’s splintering into thousands of tiny pieces, nearly impossible to remove!

Image of a work in progress piece by Claudia Hahn. Tiny bits of silver leaf can be seen all over the paper. It looks messy.

I’ll be exhibiting at the #SNA end of the month. It’s a great nature themed exhibition in a fantastic venue, and an art market, where I have a table. Here’s the invite to the private view if you like to pop along. The more, the merrier! #nature #art #wildlifeart #landscapeartist #paintings

Invite to the private view of the exhibition. A reason to fancy dress.

WIP of an entry that’s going into an exhibition next week, and is still nowhere near finished… it always takes so much longer than I think, but I’ll get there. Eventually.

Hand in day for the MIWAS art exhibition at the fabulous Marwell Hall on the zoo grounds. There are some spectacular works! If you are in the area, have a look, it’s this weekend. We worked really hard to get this exhibition off the ground and the result is stunning.

The flyers & private view invites have arrived, and while the exhibition catalogue is still in production, I have a few days to take a breath from organising this show. I don’t think I got more than 4 hours of sleep a night for the last few months. So exhausted. It’s coming together nicely, though!

Common hawthorn appreciation post. This shrub grows by the footpath to the village, at this time of the year it looks spectacular. It’s a native plant, and makes a wildlife friendly choice for garden borders. Birds love the thick foliage for cover.

We found a good solution with King Crimson: Robert Fripp would say at the beginning of the show: “I would like to have a photo of you all at the end of our show. So, as soon as you see my camera, you can get yours out as well and we will pose for you.” It was very respectful and worked really well.

I feel this. The passion is gone. I’m just in survival mode.

Claudia Hahn @claudiahahn.bsky.social · Apr 23

I’ve been on tour with bands who have a strict no phone, no recording and no photos rule (King Crimson, Porcupine Tree). The whole atmosphere is so much better. People are present.

How interesting! I wonder if people with defect S and L cones can see this colour naturally.

Claudia Hahn @claudiahahn.bsky.social · Apr 18

It’s getting closer! Really looking forward to it.
Friends, if you are one of the lovely people who booked a bio page in the catalogue, *now* would be a good time to send me your images. It needs to go to the printers soon. (You know who you are…😉) #MIWAS #artsociety #exhibition #wildlife #marwell

If you see this, it's time to start that personal, self-indulgent art piece that you've been putting off.

More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do

Lovely sunny day at Marwell, all the unicorn cows were out, grazing. #marwellzoo #artexhibition #wildlife #nature #artists #painters #traditionalart

We have resurrected MIWAS!

“The Visitor”.
How it started vs how it’s going. First time using walnut ink on copper. It bled a lot more than I expected, hence it looking a bit rougher than I had planned. I like the unexpected effect, though. #SciArt #deathhead #hawkmoth #gilding #illustration
