Was never my intention but after I made it I realised the pattern of this shirt could be a hommage to my picture "First Heart Shot".
By the way: Shirt is for sale within Germany.
A shirt with blue batik pattern and a single red or dark-pinkish spot on the left breast. Female charakter with brown curly hear, turns her head as she realised a shot in her heart from behind. Blood splashes out of her breast. The background shows a white flower (Helleborus) with blood sprinkles on the petals.

Satisfying.
Icecubes in different sizes on top of a damp white t-shirt which is stretched over a plate. There's dye between icecubes & shirt. Self-construction for batik ice dye.

"Can't you see I'm bleeding?"

My youth.
An androgynous young woman sits in the middle of the picture: Her legs are in black jeans and black cowboy boots, her white frilly blouse is bloodstained. She wears a white bandage around her head which is bloodstained too. Her red hair is wild and vibrant. Her green eyes are looking to the observer with admonishment. The background of the whole picture is covert with traces of blood.

Copic Bisque, Brown & Neutral Gray 10.
(Although I'm not really sure about NG10; 'cause the color palette is very different from motive to motive~...)
My hand holds three copic pens in the colors bisque, brown and neutral gray 10.

"Mein inneres Kind und ich - My inner child and me"

The visualisation of the connection between my inner child and my outer being.
A woman with smooth black hair stands straight and keep watching with her hand over her eyes. She wears a white frill blouse, black lacquer trousers & black boots. On the right side a small girl is sitting, with pale red curly hair as pigtails, a white shirt and a rosé summer dress. She wears green sandals. In one hand she holds a white-pink toy horse. The other hand is stretched towards the black-haired woman, to which she don't look at. The woman and the girl touching only with their little finger.

"muscari at night"

Yeah, the pic by @evenlyevi.bsky.social inspired me, but also our garden!
Muscari, painted as dark blue dots, and forget-me-not, painted as light blue little stars. All in front of a black background. The muscari have slight stems & leafs.

A calla lily in a clay pot. In the background a devil's ivy. Close shot of the redviolett blossom of the calla lily.

"overstrain"

Raelyn & Sheena.

Spontaneous idea to draw broken glass & flowing wine (which took much longer due to illness).
Two young women in side profile, looking to each other. The one on the left has brown eyes and brown curvy hair, the one on the right has blue eyes, dark blonde straight hair and a lighter skin tone. The left woman holds a bottle of wine with a broken bottleneck and pour some red wine into the broken wine glass, holding by the hand from the right woman.

Our female cat sits in green grass and watches the neighbours garden through the fence. Her fur is half-long and in red-brown, dark-brown and black colors

"Splits"

alcohol marker, acrylic, crayon, glue.
A red rose in full bloom in front of a black background. The upper right part of the blossom is missing; instead there are glass fragments, bursting outside.

A young woman stands behind a fence, arms casual lying above it. She's wearing a black shirt, black trousers and black cowboy boots. Her hair is vibrant red and her face friendly. On the left side is the following text: Bo is the undoubted calm anchor of the band and the only one who's able to stop fights between Raelyn and Sheena. She's the rhythm guitarist and best-friend with Lexi, even though they are completely opposite in character. Her nickname is based on the scottish-gaelic Bò Gàidhealach, an old cattle breed, because of her fuzzy hair.

Finished sewing my new sweatshirt.

Coloured an old picture frame to make it more fitting for the beautiful art of @yoshiyoshitani.bsky.social .
(It's red violet & dark blue violet; sorry for bad lightning.)
Showing a picture of two elves and a glass full of water, in which one of the elves swims. Made by artist Yoshi Yoshitani. Picture frame coloured in red-violet and dark blue-violet by me, to adapt the colours of the elves.

A boyish young woman sits on silver rails. She wears a black leather jacket, dark violet shirt, black ripped jeans, black cowboyboots and a brown cowboy hat. Her hair is brown and wavy, her glimpse calm. In one hand she holds a cigarette, its smoke wisps softly sidewards. On the left side is the following text: Raelyn Raven. Raelyn is the bass player & main singer of Rascal X. She is the black sheep of her family, except for her aunt Kirsty, in whose house she lives. With her unconventional nature, she occasionally offends others. But yet, she tries to see things as positively as possible. Raelyn is in a relationship with Sheena, which also tends to cause friction.

On the right side a young woman is standing in black wet-look outfit with heels and drum sticks in one hand. Her hair is dark blonde, on one side with creped hair, on the other side straight. She wears red lipstick and red nail polish. Her eyes looking a bit challenging. On the left side is the following text: Sheena Munro. Sheena is the drummer of Rascal X and physically stronger than she may appear. While she's dependable most of the time, she can also be vagarious. Occasional taciturnity is not unusual for her. Sheena is in a relationship with Raelyn and loves the mutual teasing with her. Even so she loves trying to dominate her in sexual matters.

"Are you ready to fly...?"

Raelyn & Sheena

Basically.....it was planned as an simple coloured sketch. Then it became something more...
Inspiration was the song of the same name by Rozalla.

Alcohol marker, tusche-ink, glue.
