Painting with wool begins, like other styles of painting, by laying out a base and blocking in shapes. #BlueSkyMonday #ArtProcess #ArtYear #JanuArty

Finally we have some snow and it feels and looks like real winter again. I've been keeping busy in the studio. New pieces, including this one, are up in my etsy shop now. feltandforagestudio.etsy.com #Stunday #JanuArty2026 #Winter #Art

In the final stretch of a batch of new wool paintings to start off 2026. #felting #NatureInspired #JanuArty #ArtYear

For day 16 of #ArtAdventCalendar, I give you my Pine Grosbeak I drew for Artist's Choice day of Birdtober. I have a penchant for pink-red birds, and Pine Grosbeak males are so beautifully charming! #BirdArt #SciArt #FineArt #Copic #AnimalArt #ArtYear

Day 10 of #ArtAdventCalendar! 💚 A mossy green humpback whale, sculpted from coarse paper mache and painted with acrylics.

I really like how this #watercolor turned out. I’m weak for red-caped #mushrooms, there so magical looking. Anyway, enjoy 🍄🍄🍄 #art #painting #katart #katiraspainting #hobby #cute #relax #creativity

I don't know how to advertise ornaments but just like hey this one is pretty good www.galdrecraft.com/product/turn...

I forgot about this! #ArtAdventCalendar Day 7 Watercolor, mouse, EVs. Painted it for my student after we discovered a method to isolate EVs from the interstitial fluid of the mouse’s brain (Pait et al, 2023).

My response to Panetone's "Color" of the year. I called this quilt "summer comes to the hills". I am sure if I searched hard enough I could find a bit of "Cloud Dance" in it--but only a bit. #artquilt #color #abstracttextile #coloroftheyear #Panetone

December! I've begun mailing my holiday cards - I create different collaged cards for each person. Here are some more examples. Thanks for looking! #bostonartist #art #artsy #bskyart #blueskyart #collagesky #collage #collageart #mailart #snailmailart #notecards #abstract #abstractart #bosarts

Feasting 🪶

Layer, wet, agitate.This wool painting started as loose fibers and ended up locked together through pure physics. These vibrant sunset colors can keep you warm on a cold winter evening. #ArtAdventCalendar #Scape #Wetfelting #FridayFelting

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 5 I created this stained glass while taking a class to learn the craft, so it's my first "real" piece. #EastCoastKIn #StainedGlass #Art #AlphabetChallenge #WeekWforWindows

An old one I drew for an art calendar. #Art #Azra #OC #ArtAdventCalendar

Here’s an acrylic painting I did on location in Western Pennsylvania near Ligonier. I had about 45 minutes to paint it before returning it to the museum for art exhibition the next day. Curious for more? drop me a message. Available to a new home. #ForestFriday #EastCoastKin #ArtAdventCalendar

“Mouse in Moss” I have been working on these new watercolor paintings with ink and color pencil. This original art piece is 11” x 14”. Available here: www.etsy.com/listing/4413...

#ArtAdventCalendar day 3. I haven't done much actual drawing all year but today I did this.

This vessel mimics the Karner blue butterfly palette—muted tones dotted in black and white, with blue hidden inside like a folded wing. 🦋 Available in my etsy shop: feltandforagestudio.etsy.com/listing/4401... #BlueTues #NatureInspired #FiberArtist #OnlyBeautifulThings

Respectfully submitted for your approval #sundaystunday yet another posting of WIP oil painting “Illusion of Still Water” 24 x 36 aka “The Beast”🙄😝 #art #tradionalart #artyear #artshare #blueskyart #botanicalart

Fall foraging on the brain. This vessel grew its own chicken of the woods because I apparently can't make anything without adding shelf mushrooms now. The obsession is real. #OrangeSun #Mushrooms #FiberArt #Foraging #ArtYear

Looking back at one of my first needle felted pieces, made on linen. I don't use this technique much these days, but I'm glad I documented the experimentation. Every piece teaches you something about your craft. #Scape #Needlefelting #ArtYear #FiberArt

The under story. #mushrooms #needlefelting #natureinspired #artyear

Starting the week off with a bang of color. #PinkMon #bloomscrolling #natureinspired #artyear

It's been a while since I've posted a needlefelting process video. Here's a chanterelle ornament in progress. #ArtProcessVideo #FungiFanatics #OrangeSun #ArtYear

Seed heads are the final stage of a wildflower's season. They dry out, curl up and hold onto their seeds through fall and winter until conditions are right to disperse. #wetfelting #natureinspired #fiberart #artyear

This little beauty was an experiment in making a new type of lid. I really love how it turned out. What would you store in here? #Felting #Wetfelting #Bloomscrolling #ArtYear

🦋 Felted vessel with monarch butterfly wing patterns. The monarchs themselves are long gone from Wisconsin by now, headed south for winter. #ColorADay #OrangeSun #Butterfly #ArtYear #ShopSmall

Trying something new. These nature inspired ornaments are available now in my etsy shop. www.etsy.com/listing/4397... #Needlefelting #FungiFriday #ArtYear

Some bracket fungi live for decades on the same dead tree, slowly decomposing it. They're in no rush. Neither am I, apparently, since I keep making more of these vessels. #mushrooms #wetfelting #fiberart #artyear

Prairie wildflowers bloom in waves through summer. What looks like chaos is actually a careful succession, each species timed to its pollinators and the available light. #bloomscrolling #woolpainting #natureinspired #artyear #Needlefelting

#Autumn means birch trunks standing bright against the vibrant golds and moody rusts. #BlueSkyArtShow #wetfelting #artyear

Some might see a bunch of muted brown clump of lumps, but if you stop to look at bracket fungi up close, there's real beauty in those layered curves and subtle color shifts. 🍄 #fungifriday #wetfelting #natureinspired #artyear

🌻Some days you just need something bright to look at. In progress pic of sunflowers against a cobalt sky. #YellowThu #bloomscrolling #wetfelting #artyear

🌟 Aurora over the pines. The way those colors move across the sky is intense, all greens and purples shifting against the dark. #northernlights #BlueTue #woolpainting #artyear

Mushroom season's winding down but I'm still thinking about all the fungi I spotted this fall. Felted up some of my favorites here, from delicate inky caps to chunky chanterelles. 🍄 #MushroomMonday #Needlefelting #NatureInspired #ArtYear
