What do I really need to make one of my very special bat keychains?

An hour of time, some felt, and all of this!

#art #bat #Spooky #Fall #BehindTheScenes #WIP #BTS #SmallBusiness

Picture of the bit of mess that’s on my desk while I make bat keychains. Highlighted with a digital white pen is all the material: pins and needles; stuffing; cotton ribbon; scissors; embroidery threads; labels; key rings; and most importantly mini magnets that allow the wings to snap open and closed!

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.

I’ve also been thinking about adding the Latin name of the bird to the prints; either to the front or back, thoughts?

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.

I completely forgot to show you this additional concept doodle I did while trying to stay awake to catch out 3am shuttle to the airport!

Doodle of a very geometric beaver stuck in a green rectangle. It has big teeth and looks extremely dumb.

My partner once had someone leave her patron and say in the survey that they left because of "pagan content", which is so funny honestly. Someone also left because she "does not post enough", when she literally couldn't do more. You can't please everyone and a lot of people feel very entitled.

To this day, this illustration is still one of my favourite. It's so soft and comforting, like a good hug 💕

I've been playing around with the idea of drawing critters stuck in geometric shapes for a potentiel new type of product; I think they work really well!!
