Mountain Witch
@mtnwitchcreative.bsky.social
Welcome to my feed. I live in Colorado. I'm a middling artist and crafter, an LGBTQ+ ally, a mom, a wannabe witch, and a wife. I'll be sharing cool stuff I find here and in real life. Oxford comma rules!
New piece completed. 5x7" in a frame that is 8x10". Frame was refurbished and the inner party repainted in gold. Painted an abstract acrylic design, then adhered a watercolor bird and added a beaded branch. Now I love it!

#WIP, a mixed media watercolor, acrylic, bead, and gold foil candy wrapper piece. I haven't decided on a name yet, but the large mountain is meant to be Ute Mountain in northern New Mexico in Taos County. It's visible from where I live in South Central Colorado. #watercolors #mixedmedia #art

I'm not sure what else to do with this painting. I know it's not finished.

Front journal cover completed. I just need to assemble it. It's partly a print of one of my watercolors that was printed w/ a black background instead of white. I couldn't make cards out of them. Instead, I made something new and interesting.

I saw this car in Alamosa, CO, last fall and I forgot to upload it. Isn't it beautiful?

More collage buttons.

More collage buttons.
Buttons. I have a one-inch button maker at home. I like making little silly collages with them.

More past work. Collage journals made with paper bags and vintage papers, yarn, etc. (all but one have sold), two watercolor paintings that are for sale at Saguache Works in Saguache, CO, and a miniature leather journal that fits in the palm of the hand. #adhdartist #handmade #watercolor

Some examples of past creations. A painting mounted on a piece of plywood, collage buttons, collage journals, etc. I can't limit myself to doing just one thing. I'd probably die of boredom if I did. #adhdartist #makersofbluesky #watercolor #handmadejournals #collage

Not happy with this at all and not sure if it's fixable. But since it's an experiment I'm not too fussed about it. I'm just not sure if I should abandon it or keep trying. For now, I'm setting it aside to percolate and may revisit later. Time for spending else.

As a fan of Jane Austen, this free book I got at the thrift store as a gift for making a $1.00 purchase is a great find!
I was scouring the bookshelves looking for something art-related but then I found this book and knew I must have it.

I taught myself drawing and watercolor painting during the pandemic. Now I'm trying to incorporate that into a new skill I'm learning: décollage. Décollage is the process of collaging and then removing layers of the collage. I've def learned a few things during this experiment.

Experiment progress. Decollage is fun, and I get to use power tools!

WIP. I'm experimenting with a method of art I've never done before: decollage. This is a watercolor/gel stencil work that I plan on incorporating into the top level piece. The plan is to sand down the collage I already made & smooth out the edges of this piece & see how it looks. Wish me luck!

I've made a huge mistake.

Flashback to last spring when I made all this. Handmade journals and mini journals. All collaged, stamped, and painted. I'm going to do more of these soon.

I was at a thrift store yesterday & considered buying an espresso maker for myself that was $7.50. As I was researching it, I looked up & saw this Mapex piccolo steel snare drum for $20. My husband is a drummer.
I put the espresso maker back & bought this instead. He's happy.
