@weratedogs.com Bertie cooking himself on the 🔥 🥰

Here’s an experiment as part of my planning for a new portrait. I photographed the sitter after she had been sea swimming. The pattern behind her portrait will be starfish & seaweed #newportrait #newart #batikart #textileart #textiledesign #seaweed #starfish #patterndesign #portraitdesign #sealife

Nearly finished here’s a section #fishpainting #newart #batik #batikpainting #bluefintunafish

When you stop at the services and get the kids a Greggs sausage roll #greggs #greggssausageroll

Slow progress today… #fishpainting #batikart #newpainting #newart #batikfish #slowprogress

I’m working on a batik portrait today with bluefin tuna fish. The sitter’s passion is sea fishing since he was a child #tunafish #fishpainting #bluefintunafish #fishart #newpainting #batikpainting #portraitart

When life gives you lemons stick some Christmas lights on them! No new staircase for Christmas…

There’s a little bird that sits on the wing mirror of the car everyday & craps on it… #birdpoop #poop #isitlucky

We’ve been den building today. #denbuilding

Powercut fun #powercut #northwales

Really pleased I’ve managed to frame my own painting ready to drop off for the exhibition tomorrow. #pictureframing #pictureframe #fishpainting #batik #newskills

This is the picture I’m attempting to frame for an exhibition in Conwy at the Royal Cambrian Acacdemy Annual Exhibition #bluefintuna #fish #fishpainting #batik #batikart #newart

Framing your own pictures is not for the faint hearted. Mistakes were made… #framing #stressful #pictureframing

My eight year old just asked me “Why is it inside out & not outside in?”

On the way to the climbing wall last night singing along to the radio. My son says “how old is this singer?” I said “I don’t know” and he replied “Old enough to sing on their own?” 🤣 #teenagers #cheeky #getacar #driveyourself

m.youtube.com/watch?v=_i3A... watching this on family film night “There is nothing for you here only death” & my son says “& a load of curtains” #lordoftherings #twotowers #arwensfate #familyfilmnight #filmnight #kids #oneliner

I’m in Stwdio Biwmaris today teaching a batik workshop. All ready to go early as ever! #workshop #batik #teachingart #loveteaching #loveart #artworkshop

Just need to make some ears on a head band now #nativityplay #sheepcostume #makeitup

It’s 5 o’clock Friday evening & I’m having a cheeky #Baileys while trying to work out how to make a pair of trousers. YouTube videos were much too complicated 🤪 #sewing #nativity #noclue #sheep

While I was out I tried to pay to park & it wouldn’t take my 50ps. A lady came over & I said I’m not sure it’s working it wouldn’t take my 50ps & she offered me a pound coin. I offered her my money & she wouldn’t take it

I bought some fleece fabric from the fabulous little fabric shop in Llangefni today to make a sheep costume for my son’s nativity. Please pray for me I have no idea what I’m doing or time to do it but I wanted to #shoplocal #llangefni #sheep #sheepcostume #sewing #noclue

I’ve just had my first Christmas card from my wonderful friend Gwynfor Griffiths. This is his painting of the mountains in #Eryri #Snowdonia

At the climbing wall trying to finish a 6B I’ve been climbing for a few months now since my son started having lessons & I LOVE it! #nevertooold #staystrong #menopause #challengeyourself

Beautiful light in the woods this morning #sunlight #morninglight

Bertie has taken to hiding in the bushes in the garden as he’s afraid of our temporary staircase. I have to wave a pack of ham in the air to lure him back in… here’s his “more ham please” face #weratedogs

Beautiful sunrise again this morning #greatorme #llandudno #anglesey #sunrise

I just sent this to the builder as Bertie can’t cope with the temporary stairs. He’s scared of them but has to keep an eye on them at all times & whine 😢 #vizsla #ratemydog #saddog #staircase #sillydog

I bought some birthday boots & the main question I’ve had so far is “When are you going to wear them?” #schoolrun #aldishop #puttingthebinsout #likearhinestonecowboy

I took Bertie out in #stormbert Pretty sh*t weather 😅

3 times he has got me round the back of the legs with this stick! Look at his happy trot 😇

I keep getting adverts trying to get me to shave the “peach fuzz” (on my face) with a razor. I will not be doing this. It must have affected my subconscious as I dreamt I had massive ginger sideburns & I hadn’t realised… #peachfuzz #beautyBS #dermaplaning

Beautiful sunset & I’ve just bought the annual litre bottle of baileys to add to my hot chocolate… #sunset #anglesey #baileys #baileyshotchocolate #winternights

This is how much sugar you should put on your weetabix #breakfast #lightdusting #weetabix

I just found this in my packet of french fries. It looks like ET’s finger. Glad I didn’t eat it he might come back for it… #frenchfries #ET

Someone jumped over the stile and couldn’t get back. A series of photos… #vizsla #novemberrain #run #bskydogs #sillydog

This didn’t happen when I lived in Stockport #countryside #rural #bythesea #loveanglesey #anglesey #pig #escape

I’m working on a batik portrait today with yellow poppies in the background as it is the MP for Ynys Môn. I’m using this pattern I made a couple of years ago as a guide. I love the brightness of the contrasting colours. #portraitart #blueskybatik #batikart #patterns #welshpoppies #blueskyart

My morning walk with Bertie. Amazing moon one side & orange sunrise on the other. #bluesky #orangesky #supermoon #sunrise #anglesey #vizsla #morningwalk

My Dad knew I’d been stressed recently & struggling with insomnia. He’s a poet so he sent me this little prescription. You open one when you need to & have a moment of quiet calm & reflection. #poetrypharmacy #therapy #stress #insomnia #poetry #haiku #kindness #calm #reflection #modernlife

I am teaching a batik workshop in January Paint Your Pet, so I made an example of my beautiful dog Bertie. #vizsla #dogart #batik #textiles

More ducks! I love this one I am thinking it should be a #wallpaper

I love designing patterns for the background of my portraits to express their personality. Here is an example #patterns

During this project I have met so many wonderful, interesting people. Here is a very special new friend I painted, an artist himself & from Ynys Môn Anglesey, Gwynfor Griffiths

How it feels joining bluesky after leaving X

My first post here. I’m a batik artist currently working towards a solo exhibition at Oriel Môn Llangefni. Here is my latest painting of Kyffin Williams
