lovely day at the witches Beltane festival at the Tam O'Shanters Farm on Sunday.

Sales were a bit disappointing - location I think, last year I was in the courtyard and sold more than I ever have, this time in the play area - just didn't work for me. Still lovely day in the sun.

Blood Moon rises.
Persephone walks.
The toad speaks through the tree—old magic, deep roots.
Sheep guide the liminal path.
Snowdrops bloom. The underworld exhales.
This is a threshold. Step through.

Today's market bombed. Ah well, onwards and upwards 🙏🙏🙏

So let's show off my latest wood slice paintings.
Painted wood slice of a Long Earred Owl, side profile with a gold rune dangling on a gold thread from his beak. The background is blurry sparkly light spheres, representing the ancestors. Wood slice is shown on an artist easel. Stylised blue / grey hare surrounded by swirly plants, including daisies. Gold highlights. Painted on a mini wood slice. Shown displayed on Nightshade Arte's easel. Whimsical small wood slice painting of a sitting hare, rubbing his ear. Background is soft pink and dark blue, with colourful flowers and swirls and gold highlights. Lovely Spring depiction

The Green Man watches, serene and knowing, woven from oak, ivy, and light. A guardian of the in-between, he invites you to listen, to remember. Lush, dreamy, and full of magic—step closer.
Framed prints tomorrow at The Night Market, Content, 5:30 PM.

Hi, I'm God.

I categorically reject Donold's request for Me to 'bless America.' I will not be doing that until he is long gone.

Fuck you, Donold.

I finally managed to treat mesen to an iPad (9th gen) and bought procreate. Mainly for digital using my art & editing for printing and to create references for paintings.
Here are some stickers I made while learning procreate 😍

Trying to decide whether to add a big crow at the top... or several smaller d more in keeping with scale... (tho obviously exaggerated the foxes size a bit)

A hand holding a little doll bust with a body shaped as a shell or a bun. The head I made of paperclay while the body is made of textiles.

The Nine Stone Close stone circle in Derbyshire was thought to be a dancing ground for faeries. A local legend tells of a farmer who discovered a clay pipe at the stones; on smoking it, he was able to see into the realm of Faerie.

A doll with a clay head and a textile shell body. She looks pretty strange and has only one eye.
