I've been quiet on the SocMeds for a bit, quiet in my art practice too. I did this piece a few weeks ago (for Moonshine 2025, Effy Wild's art witchery course). I love her, but she's a bit too neat for me; I like grungy, messy, painterly. But, she's how she wanted to be and that's that lol.
This image shows a painting I recently did. A stylized portrait of a woman. The colours are bold and vibrant. She has purple hair flowing upwards and a matching purple top to balance the piece. Her eyes are violet to match. She has three yellow sunflowers around her, one in her hair, one on her shoulder and a third in the background beside her. The background is turquoise and she has a turquoise band around the neckline of her top. This style is very neat and clean and not my usual style. In the image there are also some art supplies shown.

Pulled the "sovereign" card from a prompt deck. Took 5 mins free writing then went to my mini Goddess art journal. Bear showed up, which for me is always a connection to the Bear Goddess Artio.
#ArtJournaling #MixedMedia #Art #ArtyWitch #WitchyArtist #Artio #BearGoddess #CleticGoddess #Witch
On a green background is a monochrome bear. Simple and stylised, not realistic. On the bear, to the lower left of the image, are white dots and gold splatters. On the opposite side, higher up on the bears shoulder are some white dots. The bear is outlined in white. She has a gold crown above her head. On the right, from her ear to her shoulder is printed in black the word "Sovereign"

Mini art journal page of an owl. The background is fluorescent pink. The owl is stylised and whimsical. Drawn in water soluble black pencil and lightly washed to give the owl a slight grey tint. Then drawn over again in black paint pen to darken the outline. Bright yellow and black dots pattern her wings. Black and white dots around her face. She has a pair of antlers on her head, (I know, it's my thing). Between her antlers is a bright yellow crown. Down the side of the owl is Stamped the word "Queen". There is white scribbled journaling down the right side of the page. Also in the image on the left are the pink and yellow paint pens used.

An overwhelming week so far and more to come. Took some time to art and regulate my nervous system. In my mini nature goddess art journal.

#Art #ArtHeals #ArtForWellness #ArtJournaling #MixedMedia #SpoonieArtist #WitchyArtist #ArtIsMagick #TraditionalArt #Painting #OriginalArt #ArtistsOfBlueSky
Mini art journal page. A simple stylised figure in black and white. A yellow crown on her head. Yellow butterfly wings on her shoulder and arm. The background is a light turquoise blue. There is some scribbled journal writing in white on the blue background. There are black ink spots on the crown, butterflies and her dress. A word sticker reads "to the best of her ability". Also visible in the image are my fingers in the bottom left, ad a yellow posca paint marker at the top.

Yesterday, my witchy walk with @legoblingorlarts.bsky.social had us admiring pink blossoms on the way to the village and chatting with Robins in the cemetery. Today they are in my mini Nature Goddess art journal.
#Art #ArtJournaling #MixedMedia #WitchyArtist #Witch #Nature
Photo 1 of 3. A two page, mixed media, art journal spread. On the left page. A Pink Blossom. On the right page, a European Robin bird, perched on a curved white shape representing a gravestone. The background of both pages is sky blue and white. Showing through the blue are the under layers of collage papers. Theses are a gold spotty tissue paper and some antique sheet music. The spotty can be seen most clearly to the top right of the Robin. With some visible to the lower left of the blossom. The sheet music can be seen showing through the paint in the area representing the gravestone. On the left page, to the top left and lower right of the blossom, are some bright pink spots of mark making. Coming out from the left of the blossom, and also from the Robins back, are some white leafy doodles. There are some tiny black and white heart doodles on the Robin. There are black and white splats of ink across both pages. To the centre top, and on the gravestone, is some scribbled journal writing in white paint marker. The next two photos are close ups of each page. Also on this photo across the top are some art supplies I used, some Neo Colour crayons, a bright pink paint marker, and the collage papers. Photo 2 of 3. A close up of the blossom page. photo 3 of 3. A close up of the Robin page.

Yesterday, on my walk up to the village, the sun was shining, the sky was blue, the birds were singing and the butterflies were dancing. It was nice to see an Orange Tip and Brimstone, don't see them often.

The first of 3 photos attached to this post. A 2 page mixed media art journal spread, in my mini nature goddess art journal. On the left page is a painting of an Orange Tip Butterfly. On the right is a Yellow Brimstone Butterfly. Both are done in a loose, grungy, messy style. The background is a patchy soft blue and white, representing blue sky and white clouds. There are yellow and orange drips and splatters of ink across the page. Mark making of little dashes in the top and bottom left bottom and bottom right corners of the pages. Other pencil scribbles show through the layers of paint. White posca pen journal writing is scribbled across both butterflies. Tim Holtz word stickers finish both pages, the left reads "Of nature's magic art". The right reads "Adorns a sky of blue This second photo is a close up of the left page with the Orange Tip Butterfly. This third photo is a close up of the righthand page of the Yellow Brimstone butterfly.

I've always loved #doodling, and other types of #mindfulart such as mandalas and dot painting. In 2021 I was introduced to #neurographicart.
#art #artheals #arttherapy #artismagick #mindfulart #doodleart #doodle #penandink #drawing #watercolour #watercolor
The start of a piece of neurographic art. A central bubble of muted blue watercolour on a white background with three smaller bubbles placed around it. Also in the image are the art supplies I'm using, a pencil, a blending stump, a watercolour paint brush and a palette with blue watercolour paints The next step in the neurographic art piece. Using a sharpie marker and a variety of fine-liner pens I drew multiple wavy lines from one edge of the paper to another, the lines intersect and pass through the bubbles. The final piece. I got into the flow and don't have any more progress pictures. I continued with the fine-liner pens and the sharpie, filling in areas where lines intersected. The resulting shapes are pebble like. I painted some of the pebbles using soft muted tones in grey, blue, green and purple.

From my mini Nature Goddess art journal, honouring the Sacred Grove.
#art #artjournaling #mixedmedia #witchyart #witchyartist #driuidartist #paganartist #witch #pagan #druid #earthgoddess #naturegoddess #artismagick #artheals
2 page art journal spread. On the left page, a birch tree grove. Applied to the page with a birch tree stencil and black paint. The collage papers already on the page can be seen faintly showing through the trunks. On the right page, a portrait of a woman. Her eyes are closed, she has a calm expression, listening to the whispers of the trees. her white hair flows across the page covering the tops of the trees, but they are still visible, her hair like mist. I used a white posca paint pen to journal in her hair, words to honour the Goddess and the Sacred Grove. she wears a pink top, the spotty tissue paper still visible through the paint wash. A little more journaling along her shoulders and a Tim Holtz word sticker reads, "breathes the quiet beauty"

"Sudden Inspiration" mini art journal spread.
I was tidying my art desk and then suddenly I wasn't.
Does that ever happen to you?

Mini art journal spread. A quirky, semi-abstract spirit owl sits on the right hand page of the journal. Lots of collage papers, mark making, leafy doodles and scribbled journal writing grow out from her and surround her. A mostly white colour with patches of grey, dirty yellow ochre and and a pop of burnt orange around the owl and to the far left of the page for balance.

Working in my mini Goddess art journal. Had no idea what I was going to do when I started. Totally wasn't expecting Frida to show up. Now I want to do a proper portrait of her. Page is 6x4", not art paper, just a regular diary.
#art #artjournaling #mixedmedia #witchyart #fridakahlo
A page in my mini Goddess art journal with a quick portrait of Frida Kahlo. Turquoise background. I used a flower sticker for the flowers in her hair. Gave her a bright pink top and big yellow earrings. There is scribbled journaling in illegible white script on her pink top. A word sticker above her head reads "with flowers in her hair". Certainly not the best portrait I've ever done. The page is 6 by 4 inches, it is not art quality paper, just a regular day per page diary. I spent about 20 minute on the page and most of that was paint drying. I am inspired though to do a proper portrait of her. Other items in the photo include my fingers in the bottom left holding the book open, a fluorescent pink posca paint pen and a tube of turquoise paint just visible in the top left corner.

One from the archives. 2 page art journal spread, "Dangling off Balance". Sitting to create brought some peace, calm and joy, regulating my overwhelmed nervous system.
#artismagick #witchyartist #arttherapy #art #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #artjournaling #artjournal #traditionalart #originalart
A two page art journal spread with a portrait of a woman on the left. Colour palette is soft muted greys and peachy, salmon pink. She wears a white top. On her left shoulder is an orange and grey butterfly. Her hair is stylised and upwards flowing with the outline blending into a leafy doodle across the righthand page. There is a smaller grey butterfly to the top right of her hair. The portrait blends in and out of the background. On the top right of the journal page the background collage papers can be seen, these are stencilled circles. The lower part of the page to the right is slightly off white, with white journal writing in illegible script barely visible. Across the spread are areas of mark making, small dashes and dots of black pen, with splats of black ink. A word sticker completes the spread, it reads. "dangling off balance". which is how I was feeling when I started this spread. Regulating the nervous system, creating art brings peace and joy.

I'm colouring in my Colourmorphia colouring book by Kirby Rosanes.

#kirbyrosanescolouringbooks #colourmorphia #colouringtherapy #coloringtherapy #adultcolouringbooks #adultcoloringbooks #colouring #coloring #colouringbook #coloringbook #colouredpencils #coloredpencils
This one is going to be difficult to describe. In this photo I am showing a colouring book page that I have recently started. The colouring book is called Colourmorphia, by Kirby Rosanes. His illustrations are quirky, whimsical, fantasy, steampunk, gothic, and witchy. They are immensely detailed too. Just in this area I have photographed there are fishes, dragons, birds, leafy branches, (which are actually the antlers of a deer), a skull surrounding a central medallion type image, drawn to look carved like a Mayan or Aztec carving with a Celtic style dragon at its centre. This page is drawn in a top down view. I have currently coloured the large fish in a golden yellow, the surrounding ground area I am attempting to make it look like a river bed.

Not feeling up to finishing yesterday's hares.
I thought I'd do a little #doodle - I got carried away. I want to level up my #doodling inspired by artists Dawn Vander Stoep and Jenny Manno.
#art #drawing #sketckbook #penandink #fineliner #micronpen
My most recent doodle in my sketchbook. A simple, stylised portrait of a woman with her hair flowing up. Within her hair are random doodled organic shapes. Each doodle is a different size. Each is made of various sections of solid black lines. bands of alternating black and white squares. Thin scribbly lines. Super fine lines radiating from a central point. Some of the shapes overlap each other. Drawn with Sakura Pigma Micron fine liner pens, sizes 005, 01, 08, and brush pen. A regular school pencil and a blending stump. Close up of the face. Close up of the eyes close up of one of the doodles.

(thread 1/2) Low spoon day. Warm cardigan, cosy lo-fi beats, brewing magical soothing tea; and my art journals, where Hare is calling to me. Using my non-dominant hand to stay loose.
#spoonie #chronicillness #witchyart #art #artjournaling #mixedmediaart #nondominanthanddrawing
Photo of my small mixed media art journal. Showing today's piece. A loose sketch of a hare done with my non dominant hand. (left hand for me). I first laid down some collage papers to the diary page. Vintage Sheet music paper, dress pattern tissue paper, gold metallic spotty tissue paper. Some mark making added with an orange neo colour 2 water soluble crayon. The hare was then drawn with a black stabilo all water soluble pencil. Then some Muted Pink acrylic ink was dropped onto the page and the page lightly sprayed with water. After the page dried I added some detail back into the eye with the orange crayon and a paint marker. At the top of the photo shows the materials I used and other items on my desk, a pine cone, a fox skull, a pebble and some crystals. This photo is of my larger art journal. Here I have done a two page spread. Still using my non dominant hand I have sketched two hares. One to the left, front facing. One to the right, three quarter facing. I used pencil, charcoal, coloured pencils in muted pink, orange and yellow. Around the drawings are areas of scribbled journal writing in the coloured pencils. This spread is a work in progress.

I took some time this evening to work on this month's featured lesson, "mini butterfly portrait", from @melanierivers.bsky.social Medicine Circle, of which I'm a member.
#art #artjournaling #mixedmediaart #witchyart #whimsicalart #artheals #artismedicine
Photo of my recent art journal page. A portrait of a woman stood in front of a full moon. Her skin is as pale white as the moon. She has black hair and a black top. Her shoulder are bare. at her temples are yellow-orange butterfly wings. The background is black, with turquoise, the brown of the kraft paper can be seen also. Orange and yellow mark making dashes are in the top left, top right and bottom right of the piece. there are a few white drops of ink. a small art journaling sticker reads "fragments of the soul".

Mixed Media art journal page. A whimsical female character with a gentle face. Her hair reaching up into, and also becoming the sky. dots of white fall from her hair, representing the snow that was falling on the day I painted her, and dancing stars from the found poetry words I was thinking of including on the page. She holds a birds nest with three pale blue eggs. there are two orange butterflies on her shoulders. there are orange and white marks around her. The words, "holding space" are written down the left side of the page. I was holding space for my creativity, allowing whatever wanted to come to just flow, no plan, no judgement, no expectations.

This is what my usual doodles look like
Doodling. Circles with circles. Varying line thickness. thin straight lines close together, connecting circles, creating a banding effect, adding dimension and texture. Doodling. Organic shapes. pebble like. Doodling. organic circular shape. reminiscent of a tree ring. some areas look like plant cells. leafy tendrils extend out from the centre.

#doodle from last night. The body went wrong and looked like a coat, my daughter said roll with it, so the hare has a starry cloak.

Today a little #mixedmedia #artjournaling inspired by the #foxes I heard last night. Their cries were haunting, coming from the cemetery and the unseen depths of the woods beyond. I peered out into the shadows, but the elusive creatures remained hidden from view.
#witchyartist
A photo of my recent art journal page. Inspired by the foxes I heard last night. Their cries were haunting, coming from the cemetery and the unseen depths of the woods beyond. I peered out into the shadows, but the elusive creatures remained hidden from view. This is a loose, scribbly painting of a fox. It's grungy and messy, as is my style. Not realistically detailed, but recognisable as a fox. There are leafy doodles around it. I like to journal write onto the page with a white posca paint marker. The writing is illegible, but infuses my thoughts and emotions into the piece. In this case it has given the fox the effect of emerging from and blending into the page, hopefully conveying that sense of "elusive".

When #painting and #artjournaling aren't doing their thing, I enjoy making these #mixedmedia #collage #papercraft tag thingies.
Really not sure what they are lol.
I use a variety of papers, fabric, stickers, and Tim Holtz ephemera to layer up.

I also have no idea what to do with them lol.
A photo collage of a selection of six of my weird mixed media, collage, tag thingies. I really don't know what to call them. They are made up of layers of papers. Scrapbook paper. Old book pages. Vintage sheet music. Antique ledger papers. And grungy collage papers I've made myself. There's other paper ephemera in them, mostly from Tim Holtz Ideology collections. I use fabrics. Sometimes recycled packaging. Sometimes I'll use my own die-cut leaves. Sometimes I'll use journaling stickers of leaves, berries, mushroom, butterflies, feathers. The girls are stickers too. Sometimes I'll use rubber stamps or stencils. I doodle and drip ink or paint on them. There are lots of layers to each. They are very busy. Very grungy. Some things are easy to describe in the alt text. Other things not so much. With this being an image of six different pieces of art work, I would appreciate any feedback on how I can improve my alt text.
