Wet felted a couple of bookmarks yesterday! So fun! It’s like finding another medium to paint with! 🤗And it’s very addictive! I get lost in it and don’t think about anything else. The best stress relief is creating something! 😁☀️

Finished my first needle felted landscape! 😁
It's called "The Lake" and I did it on linen. So fun! Can't wait to do more, and maybe mix wet felting with it! Did a bit of embroidery on it, added fabric & a sleeve on the back, and used a twig I found in my yard. 😊☀️

A little house sits on a small hill in the middle, with a round magenta tree next to it. Striped fabric in gold, light blue, green and burgundy covers the back of a needle felted painting. A hanging sleeve is attached with a twig going through it.

I made this little one last night start to finish. It's incredibly hard to stop working on them once they are started! It took about 6 hours. Or three movies! 😆
It's my first bear, and there are things I want to improve on, but I think it turned out pretty cute.🥰

Took a needle felting class today, and made a cute little mousie! Learned how to wet felt the tail, which was a great tip, plus how to make the head and body out of one piece of wool, then soft sculpting it, instead of making separate components. Love that technique! 😁🥰

I made my first little highland cow! 🤗🥰
There are a few in a field, as I drive to town, and I always think that I want to paint them, and I still do, but making a feltie one was so fun! 😁☀️
I'm so addicted to felting! It's such good stress relief!

The wet felt landscape class was fun! I went in after it was dry and added some embroidery and needle felted the sun to make it stand out more. The other is from a fun tutorial by LivingFelt I did on YouTube: youtu.be/wLnnM_G63nU?...
That account has lots of great tutorials!

Getting lots of love for these at my personal account, so need them at this one too!😁
I'm so into needle felting right now, that I'm having a hard time stopping! lol I have a few WIP paintings on the go too, so switch back to that when my hand starts to ache! 😝

I made my first needle felted dog! 😁☀️ It was very relaxing. Can't wait to make another! My girls went to the groomer yesterday, and she gave me 2 bags of their hair, which I incorporated into the feltie dog. 🥰 It's standing on my as of yet unfinished wet felt landscape.

Either I've lost my creative mojo and don't want to make anything, or I have an abundance of ideas and desire to do them, to the point it can get overwhelming and I procrastinate. It's maddening! 🫠
I need to just pick one thing at a time, but which idea? I'm adding learning wet felting next week. 🤪

Building complex layered backgrounds is relaxing and fun! I love the moodiness of this! It ended up being a super colourful piece, but revisiting this WIP photo is making me feel like trying something more moody and mysterious, with a more subdued palette than my usual, for a challenge. 🙃☀️

Recently finished "The World Inside". Acrylic, modeling paste, dyed paper towel on canvas. I put it in a small local art show this weekend, and it was so wildly different to all the traditional work there! 😛 I don't know how it was received, but I love it. 😊☀️

Making collage papers with paper towels. I hand dyed these with acrylic inks, but they were used in the kitchen, as I rarely throw them out unless they are really soiled with food. I also reuse the ones I wipe my brushes on, which can be really pretty!😊☀️✌️

It's been a while since I posted. Just been in a painting funk. 🫠
I FINALLY finished this one, though, little by little.
It's called "The Gate". Acrylic and mixed media on cradle board. 8"x8"

#art #mixedmedia #acrylicpainting #fantasyart #painting
Painting of a fantasy landscape. A large tree with a large leafy canopy stands on a hill in front of fields in the distance. Sheep graze on one, hay bales dot another, while a crop of small green trees occupy another. A row of magenta trees grow into the distance along a dirt path leading to the portal. There is a bank of large fluffy white clouds surrounding the teal coloured portal, through which is a land of giant mountains. There are various multicoloured flowers in the foreground and a pile of gray rocks to the left. Two little magenta and peach coloured birds fly near the big tree. Dyed green cheesecloth mimics grass at the tree base. "The Gate" acrylic and mixed media on cradle board. 8x8
