Thank you!!

Snapped a couple photos! Maybe one day I’ll have an idea to colour over the grey? I wanted a marbled, blue ring octopus type look but stuck on how!!
Whimsical windowsill scene featuring a miniature lighthouse decorated with moss, white and gray stones, and red accents, sitting in a white tray filled with pebbles and blue agate slices. A gold jewelry stand displays colorful crystal suncatchers and dangly earrings next to potted plants, creating a cozy crafted vignette in natural sunlight. Gray ceramic octopus figurine serving as jewelry storage, with pearl necklaces draped across its tentacles and a warm LED light glowing from within its hollow body, illuminating gold treasures and trinkets stored inside. The whimsical piece sits on a windowsill among other decorative items.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I'm so hype for this to arrive!

I. Fucking. Love it.

Punch needle dragon across purple moon background.

Gripping a real sword in its claws as it breathes fire

I’m making another one literally right this second.
Punch needle embroidery of a green dragon flying across a cratered purple moon by ASolid7. The dragon breathes red flames and has white-tipped wings and claws. Its front claws grip a small silver sword, while its long tail hangs off the bottom edge of the circular wooden frame. The moon is rendered in varied shades of lavender and violet to suggest craters and depth. The artwork is held up in a craft room.

Those that do punch needle, how do I finish this????? I did it with the intention of the neat side being visible but I’m not at all sure or confident on how to apply the glue??

TYIA!
This image depicts a punch needle embroidery piece in progress, featuring a dragon in front of a circular purple background. The dragon is stitched in vibrant shades of green with a red tongue and white details on its claws and tail. Its wings are large and textured, with a gradient of green shades and dark green veins. The purple background has varying shades, creating a cloudy, abstract texture that gives the impression of a sky or moon. The dragon’s body curves dynamically, suggesting movement, and the stitches have a dense, plush appearance typical of punch needle techniques. The edges of the fabric are unfinished, with some visible orange grid lines marking the underlying fabric. The workspace includes various crafting tools, containers, and items in the background, indicating an active crafting area.

Just made it to Peter Capaldi’s season and loveeeee him already!

Acrylic Markers
A hand-painted image on a small sketchbook page features the TARDIS from Doctor Who, depicted with acrylic markers. The TARDIS is shown in a dynamic, slightly tilted angle as if in motion through space. It is rendered in deep blues with black outlines and dotted light-blue highlights, and the windows glow warmly in yellow. The white signs on the box read “POLICE PUBLIC CALL BOX.” Surrounding the TARDIS is a vibrant, cosmic background with swirling clouds in shades of purple, pink, and blue, dotted with white specks suggesting stars. The word “WOOSH” is handwritten vertically in white along the right edge, evoking the sound of the TARDIS in flight. The artist’s initials and the date “5.21.25” are signed in white at the bottom right. A color swatch palette and markers are faintly visible in the blurred background, emphasizing this as a work in progress or recently completed.

I’m not bad at art, I just stop at the ugly phase.

Stop stopping at the ugly phase?
Two vertically oriented sketchbook pages are shown side by side, each held open by a hand, labeled “LILAC POND – 2.8.2025.” The first image (the “after”) features a vibrant, richly detailed acrylic marker painting. It depicts a pond filled with lily pads in bright greens, oranges, and reds, surrounded by tall lilac-colored flowers and cascading wisteria-like blossoms. Bold, colorful strokes create a vivid sense of motion in the water and depth in the foliage. The colors are saturated, and the composition is full, with minimal white space. The second image (the “before”) shows the same layout and subject but rendered in watercolor. The style is looser and more subdued, with softer purples and greens. The lily pads are simpler and more dispersed, the water appears calmer, and the vertical flowers are less detailed. Background elements are more faded and abstract, giving a quieter, more impressionistic feel. The updated version adds striking contrast, defined shapes, and intensified color, transforming the piece from a soft sketch into a lively, expressive landscape.

A custom-painted IKEA greenhouse is displayed from several angles, perched on a Werner step ladder indoors. The small structure, shaped like a miniature conservatory with a white metal frame and clear panels, has been transformed into a vibrant art piece using Gallery Glass paint. The design draws inspiration from Pinterest, with each panel uniquely painted in a stained-glass style. The front and lower sections feature a bold desert landscape, including tall green cacti, spiky agave plants, rocky terrain in purples and ochres, and a glowing orange sun. These elements are framed by stylized arched window shapes rendered in textured, faux-leaded outlines. The side and top panels contrast with a botanical vine motif, composed of swirling stems and layered green leaves set against textured clear backgrounds. The top roof panel is hinged and shown partially open in some photos, revealing the painted interior and confirming the case’s potential use as a terrarium or decorative display. Soft natural light from nearby windows enhances the stained-glass effect, making the colors glow and highlighting the craftsmanship.

I’m keeping this one but would love to make more. What other designs do you think would absolutely slap?
A distanced view of a handmade stained glass gazebo-style bird feeder and planter, softly glowing in a dark room. The structure has a hexagonal base and frame made of wood painted in a muted green color. Each side of the gazebo is filled with panels of faux stained glass, created with gallery glass and FolkArt Murano stained glass paints, giving a richly textured, translucent effect. The central subject of the stained glass imagery is a dragon, depicted sleeping within a forest. The dragon’s body winds through several panels, its scales rendered in vivid shades of red, orange, and yellow, outlined heavily in black to mimic the look of traditional leaded stained glass. Parts of the dragon’s body blend into the background, with swirling patterns suggesting its limbs and tail curling protectively around itself. The surrounding forest is illustrated with stylized trees, their trunks and branches in soft yellows and browns, and leafy canopies painted in deep, vibrant greens. The warm, golden light from inside the gazebo illuminates the painted glass, making the colors appear especially rich and jewel-like against the darkness around it. Soft beams and reflections scatter around the piece, and faint outlines of nearby leaves and small decorative objects are visible in the background. The atmosphere feels quiet, magical, and intimate, as if the dragon is hidden deep within an ancient, secret forest, undisturbed in its slumber.

This might be my favourite project of 2025. I’ve been working on this gazebo thing for a few years now and recently had the idea to do a stained glass look and drop some fairy lights in the middle.

I decided on a dragon sleeping in the forest. #handmade #craft #stainedglass #asolid7art

My first 420 in seven years not working and I’m sick.

Yay. At least I’m getting some art done.

I should do a stoner piece…
A small, hand-painted artwork titled “Pastel Powerlines,” dated 4.20.25 in the corner. The scene features a silhouetted utility pole centered in the composition, with multiple thick, black power lines stretching outward in diagonal directions. The background is a richly textured pastel sky, composed of short, horizontal brushstrokes in soft shades of pink, lavender, peach, and pale blue, creating a dreamy, atmospheric twilight. The power lines contrast sharply against the delicate, multicolored sky, giving the piece a bold yet serene mood. The painting is framed within a sketchbook, and part of a hand holding it is visible. A vibrant, impressionistic painting titled “Lily Marsh,” also dated 4.20.25. The scene depicts a dense patch of water lilies in a marshy pond. Broad, overlapping lily pads in various greens float across the surface, interspersed with brightly colored blossoms in pink, orange, yellow, and white. The flowers and pads are rendered with thick, layered brushstrokes, giving the scene a sense of lush texture and depth. The water reflects green tones and hints of other surrounding vegetation, painted in vertical streaks that suggest gentle movement. The sketchbook page is slightly curved, and the painting fills the entire surface. A photo showing both paintings from the previous images side by side in an open sketchbook, held in someone’s hand against a soft background. On the left page is “Lily Marsh,” filled with dense greenery, lily pads, and blooming water lilies painted in expressive, colorful strokes. On the right page is “Pastel Powerlines,” with its silhouetted utility pole and a softly blended sky of pink, purple, and blue hues. The contrast between the natural lushness of the marsh and the structured silhouette of the powerlines highlights the varied subject matter and painterly techniques across the two pieces.

Some delayed updates on progress 🥰

I’d like to add more flowers, and I might still!
A hand-painted scene of a Mediterranean-style exterior wall, featuring a bright yellow stucco surface with a central wooden window framed in light gray stone. The window has brown shutters and glass panes reflecting sky and surroundings. Below the window, a planter box overflows with red, white, and green flowers, creating a cascade of color. To the left, a vertical wooden trellis is wrapped in a climbing vine with dense red and white blossoms and green leaves. At the bottom, a row of terracotta pots filled with vibrant flowers and greenery lines a stone-tiled patio. The overall composition conveys a warm, sunny atmosphere with rich earthy tones and vivid floral accents.

I haven’t been creating. I’ve been sitting on projects, intimidated. I love these sketches so far and don’t want to duck them up 🥲🙃

I kinda lost the background on the oil pastel courtyard. I had fun with the fountain though!

Bottom left panel is maybe a Mediterranean style scene?
A vibrant painting on a sketchbook page shows a sunlit garden courtyard scene. On the left side, there’s an arched wooden door set into a soft peach-colored stucco wall. Below the door, a thick patch of vivid red and orange flowers fills the lower left corner, surrounded by leafy green foliage. To the right, a tall, multi-tiered fountain stands against the wall, painted in light beige with white accents suggesting water channels, though no visible water is flowing. The fountain and background are more softly rendered compared to the bold texture of the flowers, creating a gentle contrast between architectural and organic elements. A close-up of the lower left panel from the previous image focuses on the pencil sketch of a traditional window scene. The window is framed with rough-edged wood and rests on a ledge. Below the window, a cobblestone ground holds five flowerpots of varying shapes and sizes. A tall vertical pole stands on the left side of the frame, and to the right of the pots, part of a crumbling plaster wall reveals bricks underneath. The sketch is neat and detailed, with clean lines outlining the rustic charm of the architectural setting. A pencil sketch features a waterfront village scene, drawn on textured white paper and framed with green tape. The scene includes an array of buildings with pitched roofs clustered along a river or canal. A small arched bridge or gateway crosses the water on the left. Rocks and foliage decorate the water’s edge. On the right, a larger rectangular structure with a walled rooftop terrace juts out over the water, surrounded by loosely sketched trees. A small boat is faintly drawn on the lower right portion of the water, hinting at a quiet, scenic setting. The entire scene is still in its early line-art stage, awaiting color or further detail. This image shows a wooden artboard holding a three-panel work in progress. The top panel is the village scene from Image 2, still in pencil. Below it are two vertical rectangles side by side. The left panel contains a pencil sketch of a rustic window with wooden framing, flowerpots along a cobbled floor, and part of a brick wall exposed at the bottom right. The right panel is a completed watercolor painting of a purple gazebo by a lakeside. The gazebo has tall, open arches and sits amid lush greenery with trees hanging over the structure. The lake to the right reflects the light blue sky, and the atmosphere feels peaceful and summery.

Not as colorful as I had it in my head. I think I’m missing purples…

I want a skinnier set of pastels…
A vibrant oil pastel painting of an underwater coral reef, created in a spiral-bound sketchbook. The composition centers on rays of sunlight piercing through the water from above, rendered in soft streaks of white and pale blue that fan out into the deeper ocean. Surrounding this glowing center are dense clusters of coral in vivid, saturated colors—fiery oranges, hot pinks, purples, reds, and lush greens. The coral forms are varied, with some appearing bushy or fan-shaped and others resembling rounded tufts or branching structures. The water is a rich gradient of blues, giving depth and movement to the scene, while the seafloor features soft, swirling strokes of beige, turquoise, and hints of green, suggesting sand and shallow terrain. The texture of the oil pastels adds a thick, slightly blended appearance, enhancing the richness of color and the sense of motion underwater. The piece is titled “REEF” at the bottom left, dated “3.23.25” in the lower right corner, and signed with the artist’s initials.

Mush better!

See what I did there?

I’m calling it done… the longer I look the more I see wrong with it
A whimsical watercolor painting titled “Mushroom Village,” featuring a fantasy village nestled among oversized red-and-white toadstools. The scene is densely packed with small, charming cottages constructed from stone and timber, each with glowing yellow windows and brown arched doors. Many homes are decorated with colorful flower boxes and climbing greenery, giving the village a cozy, storybook feel. The buildings are set on varying levels of gently sloping grassy terrain, connected by cobblestone paths and small stairways. Towering mushrooms with wide caps dominate the background, creating a surreal, fairytale-like canopy under a bright blue sky. In the foreground, tree stumps and logs are scattered near the path, and small red mushrooms dot the grassy area. The painting is bordered by white watercolor paper, with the handwritten title “MUSHROOM VILLAGE” on the lower left and the date “3.23.25” on the lower right. A hand is visible in the upper right, holding the edge of the paper.

It looks… flat…
Ugh

Maybe more detail on the homes….
Colours are very similar. I used the same colour to mix new ones
I like it but I envisioned more contrast
A whimsical, hand-painted illustration depicts a cozy village nestled among giant red-and-white mushrooms. The village is composed of small, cottage-like houses made of stone and wood, with warm yellow lights glowing in the windows, giving a welcoming and magical feel. The houses are scattered on a gentle hillside and connected by winding stone paths and stairways. Bright pink flowers and green vines climb up the buildings, adding vibrant bursts of color throughout the scene. Oversized mushrooms with red caps speckled with white spots loom over the village, towering above the rooftops like trees. Smaller mushrooms of the same kind dot the grassy landscape, some integrated into the village design, appearing to grow beside houses or from tree stumps. At the bottom of the image, large wooden stumps and a cut tree slice with ring patterns suggest a natural forest environment. The sky is a soft blue with light clouds, contributing to the calm, storybook atmosphere. The painting is bordered with green tape, suggesting it is still in progress or has just been finished. The overall mood is peaceful and fantastical, reminiscent of a fairy tale world.

God I love oil pastels

Reference included
Took me maybe less than an hour??
I’m really freakin proud of it honestly

I didn’t freakin trace anything either to help me with the frame!!

I welcome any tips on working w oil pastels, I’m reintroducing myself to them.
A photograph of a lavender lemonade cocktail served in a ribbed glass with a striking color gradient, transitioning from deep purple at the bottom to pale, translucent yellow at the top. The drink is garnished with two overlapping lemon slices on the rim and a sprig of fresh lavender, its tiny blossoms adding a delicate touch. The glass sits on a rustic wooden board, surrounded by whole lemons and scattered lavender sprigs. In the softly blurred background, additional glasses with the same drink are visible, enhancing the inviting, summery atmosphere. Warm, natural lighting highlights the vibrant colors and textures of the ingredients. An oil pastel drawing of a lavender lemonade drink, rendered with soft, blended strokes on sketchbook paper. The glass, with its ribbed texture suggested through layered vertical strokes, holds a purple-to-yellow gradient beverage. Two golden-yellow lemon slices rest on the rim, their edges slightly blurred by the pastel medium. A lavender sprig, created with dabs of blue and purple, leans from the drink. The background is left mostly blank, allowing focus on the subject. The artist’s initials and the date “3.19.25” are signed in black on the right, adding a personal touch to the expressive, impressionistic piece.

I. Love. It.
A small watercolor painting on textured paper depicts a pond scene with lily pads and a blooming water lily. The lily pads are in shades of green with hints of yellow and red, floating on a deep blue and purple-toned background that represents the water. The central water lily is painted in soft pink and white hues, standing out against the darker tones. The edges of the painting show a blending of colors, giving it a dreamy, impressionistic feel. The painting is held open in a small sketchbook by a person’s hand, with a blurred background featuring fabric and other art supplies.

I bought some coloured wood stain and had the idea to make some coasters featuring a map. I.. hated it. I was able to save them though with a little black spray paint and a gold acrylic marker! I'd say i fixed it.. Minus the drops of varnish. 🫠

The same set of wooden tiles, now fully painted, depicts a vibrant topographical map with land and water elements. The landmasses are in warm tones of orange and green, while deep blue fills the carved waterways. The tiles are neatly arranged on a cutting mat, with additional crafting materials like a wooden stick and an orange chest in the background. The transformation from black-and-gold outlines to a fully colored map is evident. A set of square wooden tiles with black backgrounds and intricate gold topographic-like lines is arranged on a cutting mat. Each tile has unique winding patterns, resembling a stylized map or terrain contours. Some areas appear slightly glossy, reflecting light. Art supplies, including black paint and a white pen, are visible in the background, suggesting an in-progress creative project.

The map depicts a mountainous landscape with jagged peaks stretching across the land, surrounded by a rough coastline. Small trees and clusters of vegetation are scattered throughout, while waves are drawn along the edges to indicate the surrounding ocean. The intricate linework gives it an old-world cartography style. A hand-drawn fantasy map card, tilted on a wooden surface, showcases a diverse landscape. The left side of the card features a forested region with small trees, while the right side has towering mountains. A darkened, shadowy area near the coastline contains the number "[7]," possibly indicating a dungeon or special location. The background consists of fine horizontal lines, adding depth and texture to the design.

A small sheet of watercolor paintings features six square landscape scenes, arranged in two rows of three. Each painting captures elements of the American Southwest, with warm, vibrant colors and expressive brushstrokes. The top row showcases red rock formations and mountains under bright skies, while the bottom row focuses on dramatic sunsets with bold clouds and desert scenery, including a prominent saguaro cactus in one of the images. The artwork is placed on a wooden surface with a rich brown tone, featuring circular holes and a rectangular cutout, possibly part of an artist’s workstation or palette.
