Sculpted a frosty fellow with a lovely rainbow seashell - made from paper mache and glass eyes, painted with acrylics. :)

Look at this lil face! 💙❄️

For a Student Who Used AI to Write a Paper Now I let it fall back in the grasses. I hear you. I know this life is hard now. I know your days are precious on this earth. But what are you trying to be free of? The living? The miraculous task of it? Love is for the ones who love the work. —Joseph Fasano

Snow day! Snow day!!

A view of the hills this morning. Had to find my coat and walk the doggie before coffee or breakfast - he loves this stuff (and has been bugging me to go back outside ever since...)

A wintry view of Birnam Hill in Perthshire, Scotland, with trees and houses in the foreground. The landscape is covered in a thin layer of snow, and the conifer-covered hills appear misty.

If I've GOT to wait while the strawberry bed is being weeded, I may as well dig myself a bed in the compost heap.

I knitted a frog! I'm making this a thread of pics related to me trying to get into playing around with miniatures.

Drove through Glencoe in the summer and thought it deserved a revisit. Cabin in the woods, dog, kettle, perfect 👌

Could you be considered a casualty of the Wars of the Roses if you were killed by an old halberd falling off a wall or something
whittyrem.bsky.social Whit EM @whittyrem.bsky.social · 8d
Now I’m wondering what’s the oldest possible war you could still considered to be a casualty of if you got injured on a weapon from it current day. Like is there a cutoff for this kind of thing. Because I would like to live to an old age and then go out with a good story so I’m just wondering

I let Lumi loose on our morning walk, because I like living dangerously. Times he listened to me: 0. Times he disappeared: 3. Sticks he chewed: All of them. Treats he thought he deserved for his exemplary behaviour: 54534818723. Treats he got despite his behaviour just because he's cute: 54534818723

He's sitting down on a forest path, looking at the camera. But really, he's only behaving because I made him wait for a piece of chicken (just out of shot) A cream-coloured Finnish Lapphund standing on the side of a forest road, with a stick between his paws. It's a stick, of course he chewed on it. And when I'd snapped the picture, he went on chewing on it. And coughing splinters out. Then chewing on it some more. Sticks > treats

Here is a commission that I worked on recently. I love to embroider wrens, they’re so cute and sassy 😊
I needle felted the colours and shape first then embroidered the detail. I think it’s pretty cute 😊

I regret to inform you that Lumi dropped one of his legs somewhere and I can't find it. I know they eventually grow them back like lizards but I'm devastated, I looked e v e r y w h e r e

Some work from my Memory series 🖤
A black and white photograph of a girl playing hopscotch. The picture is square & the image is filled with the hopscotch and the girls is in the distance- you can see her from her shoulders down. A black and white photograph of a girl looking out of a large window- the child has her back to the viewer. A black and white photograph of a girl standing at an arch window of a cathedral- light is falling upon her and the ground. A black and white photograph of two children wearing masks from Alice in Wonderland- the girl stands by a wall & the boy sits in a tyre.

Felt like some green this morning. So playing around with arranging some of my small pieces of stitching and paper again. This makes my mind happy.

#handembroidery #textileart
A handful of small stitched and paper objects on a white background. The objects are in various shapes and forms, and all in tones of green. They are laid out between two larger stitched objects that we only see the edges of.

Received the scans from the roll I shot through my Mamiya with the repaired 80mm f2.8 lens (old 'chrome' type). Will share more later. This is one of my favourites with the train passing over the rail bridge at Moncrieffe Island, Perth. 🙂

Camera: Mamiya C3
Film: Kodak Gold 200

Books galore and now in colour. I added colour to a copy of my drawing of Barter Books, Alnwick. A bit of colour can make a big difference.

There are two drinking cups attached to the recess wall with chains. There is a tap between the chains. The words FILTERED WATER are inscribed on the wall above the tap.

I don't have any recent sculptures that are particularly spooky unfortunately, but here's a repost of an older project I had a lot of fun making - a catbat automaton!🐈‍⬛🦇

Hello little ones... what will you be when you grow up? 🌱

I love seeing other people's unfinished art projects and workspaces, so here is a gaggle of paper mache gremlins - soon to be sanded, painted, and given spun cotton blankets :')

#WIPWednesday
A group of unfinished paper mache gremlin (or goblin?) miniature sculptures, with glass button eyes and huge ears. They are sitting in front of a candle.

It’s Halloween week! Do you have your costume yet? This year I’m a grey Victorian ghost 👻

#kidlit #kidlitart #illustration #watercolor #halloween #graveyard
A illustration of a Halloween costume party, for bugs! They are all gathered in an old New England cemetery. There are lights streamed across the old gravestones, with all different sorts of bugs in costumes. There is a ladybug holding up its vampire cape, two earthworms, one dressed as Frankenstein’s monster, the other his bride. There is a queen spider, a rhino beetle with a unicorn horn, ants with witch hats, mosquitos with wizard hats, a praying mantis dressed as an angel. Above are ghost flies.

Downfall - mixed media painting of a broken oak in Wharfedale, North Yorkshire. Possibly lightning struck; the tangle of limbs is already being colonised by fungi.
