The reception for the art show I’m in was today, and I got lots of lovely responses to all of my pieces! 🤗People seem to especially like my felted landscapes! They were always surprised when I told them only started doing it a couple of months ago! lol Fuels me to keep it up! 😁☀️

😍

The three things I want to put out into this crazy upside down world to try and make it a bit better! 😊☀️❤️

Day 13 of #ArtAdventCalendar My very first wet felt landscape! I added needle felting to the sun and trees for more definition, plus did some embroidery accents. It is based of an alcohol ink piece I did years ago. 😊☀️ “Cosmic Fields” wet and needle felted wool 9x12 linktr.ee/sunshyneart #TextileArt

Day 12 of #ArtAdventCalendar What if Earth had a lush alternate world inside? 😁☀️ “The World Inside” acrylic and mixed media on canvas 16x20 linktr.ee/sunshyneart #Art #Painting #ArtYear #FantasyArt #WhimsicalArt

Day 11 of #ArtAdventCalendar Continuing with my new felting obsession is scene that appeared in a recent dream. Another vortex, of course! 🤓🤭☀️ “The Rabbit Hole” wet and needle felted wool with embroidery accents. 10x10 linktr.ee/sunshyneart #TextileArt #art #FibreArt #FantasyArt #ArtYear

Just caught her staring at me. She does that a lot. 🥰

I found my usual painting palette mixed all together in this bundle of gorgeous merino wool! 🤩😍 Working on a needle felt right now using it, and can't wait to use it in a wet felt, too!

So cool!😍

Day 10 of #ArtAdventCalendar I have a serious fascination with the idea of a multiverse, and paint a lot of wormholes! 🤓 "MultiWorlds" acrylic on cradle board 10x10 😊🌀☀️ linktr.ee/sunshyneart #Art #SciFiArt #FantasyArt #Whimsical #ArtYear #Painting

Day 9 of #ArtAdventCalendar I like doing minis. 😊☀️ This one makes me feel calm. "Contemplation" Oil and cold wax on cradle board 4x4 linktr.ee/sunshyneart #Art #ArtYear #Painting #OilPainting #abstract #Landscape #Blue

Day 8 of #ArtAdventCalendar Feeling abstracty this morning. "Helios" 😊☀️ alcohol inks on ceramic tile linktr.ee/sunshyneart #Art #ArtYear #AbstractPainting #Alcoholinks #AlcoholinkPainting #Abstract #Landscape

Day 7 of #ArtAdventCalendar One of my little cottage series. Whimsical little escape places. This one is called "Summer Cottage". Perfect one for such a frigid Winter day!😊☀️ acrylic and molding paste on cradle board 6x6 linktr.ee/sunshyneart #Art #Painting #ArtYear

"Belle" It was challenging to do a specific animal, but I think she turned out pretty good! Especially as I'm new at it! I made the eyes myself using clear glass cabochons, over pastels. 😊☀️ #textileart #needlefelting #softsculpture #art #fibreart

😍

Day 6 of #ArtAdventCalendar This piece started as a random background, and I saw a bunch of elephants, so they became part of the landscape in a whimsical world. 😊☀️ "Connections" acrylic on cradle board 8x8 linktr.ee/sunshyneart #Art #Painting #ElephantArt #ArtYear #ColorADay #GreenSat

Day 5 of #ArtAdventCalendar Sometimes I do something more traditional, for a change and a challenge. This one I did in pastel club last Spring, from one of my photos.😊☀️ “River Valley” soft pastel 5x5 linktr.ee/sunshyneart #Art #PastelPainting #landscapes #scape #ArtYear

Are You Ready??? #ArtAdventCalendar

Thanks Andy! Mine is here, last international post (to EU and a few other places) on Monday! So get your orders IN! www.emilyhare.co.uk

Jeff Bezos will be fine if we ignore him for one day. This Black Friday, support a small creator. Artists: drop your shop links below, whether you’re running a sale or not, and please repost everyone else’s. No NSFW. No AI. Here’s mine: dragonsofwales.etsy.com

I was digging around in my storage area for my fancy yarn to maybe use in my wet felt paintings, and I found this decorative shelf I painted 29yrs ago! My critters were piling up, so this does nicely until I sell/gift some of them.😁 Probably will need to paint a second shelf, since it's full. 😝

"That's why I paint. It's because I can create the kind of world that I want, and I can make this world as happy as I want it. Shoot, if you want bad stuff, watch the news." Exactly the reason I do it too.☀️❤️

Made a baby elephant. 🥰 #needlefelt #textileart #fabricart #handmade #softsculpture #wool

New little needle felted critter! I love it! It’s my cutest one so far, I think. Super easy! Took about 4 hours. 😁❤️ #needlefelting #textileart #handmade #arttherapy

"Mulberry Dream", wet and needle felt. I did the bg first then added the bear by needle felting it separately on a piece of thin prefelt I made for it. Then I needle felted him on, and needle felted the flowers to pop off too. Added embroidered French knots on the "trees".😊☀️ #felting #textileart

Here is my very first wet felted landscape, that I did in the workshop I took a little while ago! I went in and added some needle felt to the sun, because it was blobby 😝, and also embroidery accents. It's very "me".😊☀️ I called it "Cosmic Fields" #wetfelting #textileart #fibreart

Well said!

Two little wet felted "paintings" I made yesterday. 😊☀️ #wetfelting #textileart #fibreart #ArtYear #arttherapy #abstractart
