⬜️🟧⬜️🟧⬜️

Just a little scribbly messy gingham dress ghost friend gal for #peachtober you know, the usual.

#peachtober25 #peachtober25gingham #peachtobergingham

a watercolour painting of an unimpressed femme character with blue/grey hair in space buns, wearing a red and white gingham dress with a big frilly collar and a big white bow at their neck, a navy jumper with a confused white face on it, striped socks, black boots and a red pointed hat with white spots on it. The character is holding out their hand and a confused blushing ghostly apparition is emerging from it.

#peachtober25 Day 2 - Kite 🪁

I’ve had this spesh piece (and a handful of others) of “Dodgy Paper” waiting for the perfect use, and I thought this was it!
It’s been a long time between collage seshs (but it used to be my main go to for illustration circa 2009-12 ish)!

A snippet of a collage illustration on a blue and white circular piece of textured handmade paper with a green hill with a femme character with long red hair and a green and red striped dress sitting on it flying a red kite with red bows trailing behind. It’s sitting on a green gridded cutting mat with some out of focus paint brushes, paper scraps and an ink bottle in the background

Day 1 - Acorn 🍂

I already know I won’t be able to do every day this #peachtober but I do want to try and squeeze a few in here and there (because otherwise I have way too much fomo)!!

New earrings! These will be landing in my shop this Saturday August 30 along with 4 to their new designs and a restock! 🤩🌼✨

a photo of a pair of daisy earrings with little faces and a dangling green stem with leaves is being held up by a white hand on a black earring hanger illuminated by sunlight with a dark, barely visible room behind. The earrings both have happy faces, one is looking to the side and one has its eyes closed.

If we all come together and each send $10 each we can help this mother so she can continue to support her children!

Hannakin @hannakinart.bsky.social · Jul 17

This is “Subterranean Isopod”!

One of 8 hand sewn soft sculpture pieces made for my solo show “Dream You Sprouts” opening TOMORROW Saturday 19th 5-8pm at @ Beinart Gallery in Brunswick, Naarm.

Would love to see you there if you’re local! ♥️

The back half of a side on handmade felt soft sculpture art doll on a white background resembling an isopod/roly-poly bug with plating layers in dark peacock blue on its back and small white mushrooms growing in clusters from it with clusters of mostly white beadwork around them. It has strange purple sparkling eyes and is wearing 10 pairs of hard, sculpted, slightly-heeled sparkling blue/black boots.

A little collab illo I made with my brother @mrjackart.bsky.social for our Dad’s birthday today! Line work my me, digital colour by my bro! ✨

an illustration of a young masc human with white hair, a pointy hat and cloak sitting in between two isopod type insects all with their backs to the viewer sitting on a quilted blanket on a rock surrounded by nasturtium leaves. The isopod on the left is larger than the other, is holding a lantern and is covered in little green leafy sprouts. The smaller on the right and the human are both pointing and looking up at the soft starry sky.
