Ok, I’ve missed the past 4 days of @artpedagogy.bsky.social’s #AbstractAdvent2025, so today I made up for them all by making a drawing that encompasses all those shapes alongside today’s!

Day 11 of @artpedagogy.bsky.social’s #AbstractAdvent2025 is a pink-haired woman blowing a party horn 🥳
I really struggled with the shape! But seriously enjoyed colouring in the hair. Hair has always been my favourite part of a drawing, ever since I was a wee pre-teen making Harry Potter fanart.

I missed yesterday’s #AbstractAdvent2025, so today I made a drawing that incorporates the shapes of both day 8 and day 9! An underwater scene 🐠🪨

Day 6 of @artpedagogy.bsky.social’s #AbstractAdvent2025 is a wee bunny rabbit wearing oversized pijamas and a woolly hat 🐰
I think I immediately gave the bunny pijamas because I used to have Peter Rabbit bedsheets as a child and I LOVED them! 🥰

It's just not the #LateLateToyShow if a 9 year old doesn't sing with the voice of a 94 year old pub singer who looks like they're made out of turf.

✨ Flax zines/posters! ✨
The last pieces I want to show you from the InterWOVEN exhibition are this series of zines/posters. Each of them represents relationships, knowledge, and invitations related to the history and resurgence of flax in Ireland.

It was fun to do the designs on their woolly jumpers! And lovely to draw while sipping on my capuccino at my favourite local coffee shop ☕️✏️

Day 3 of @artpedagogy.bsky.social’s #AbstractAdvent2025 is an angry geometric man 🤷🏽♀️
I had to finish colouring the forehead using my left hand, because my tennis elbow has flared up these days and colouring becomes painful 😫 There may be more left-handed drawings in the coming days.

Another piece I had the privilege to make for and exhibit at the ‘InterWOVEN’ group show. This is made of wild clay from the Poulaphouca reservoir and flax from my garden and from Mallon Linen farm. It shows the interconnected relationship us humans have with the flax plant, Linum usitatissimum 🩵

Day 2 of @artpedagogy.bsky.social’s #AbstractAdvent2025: a sort of Little My wearing a ridiculously regal headdress 😂🫶🏽

My friend Ione invited me to participate in @artpedagogy.bsky.social’s #AbstractAdvent2025, so here’s my interpretation of the first shape! 🌼
Love a fun excuse to do a bit of quick illustration, especially in December, as I start to wind down after the flurry of summer and autumn 😌

Now that the ‘InterWOVEN’ exhibition has finished, here’s a walkthrough of one of the pieces I had on display. This is a very personal piece that I think of as a self-portrait of sorts. It will surely keep changing and evolving if and when it’s shown again ✨

Let’s play a little game! 🎉
As you know, I’m doing a FREE call this Monday 15 September at 6:30pm Irish time to give you my best tips to identify dye plants in the wild and help you guess the shades they could make.
In advance of this, I thought it would be fun to do a little guessing game! 🧵

Ever wonder…
🤨 Is that dye plant?
🎨 What colour does it make?
🌺 Will this brightly-coloured flower dye my shirt that colour?
🍃 Why is it so hard to get green?
I’ll be answering that+ more next Monday 15 Sept @ 6:30pm (Irish time) on Zoom!

One of the less known aspects about the Easter Rising is that Indian students at UCD also took part & were then deported by the British authorities for it. Among those students was V.V. Giri who became president of India and said “when I am not an Indian, I am an Irishman”
