I didn’t mean to leaf you hanging.😅 Sorry I’ve been MIA lupus has been kicking my butt (& my kidneys, heart, & joints). I’m wrapped up in hope and ready to try moving again. The battered tree outside my window is sprouting new leaves and flowers so I can release this leaf saved from last season. 🍃🍂

Day 1 of #Capypril2025 Fun! #Watercolor #ArtYear Lambs frolicking in the field with the joy of living, spring, growth, and limbs that work seems the best of fun.

Day 31- Connect #Art A perfect re-post for this last prompt of #MakersmARTch My husband connecting with my preemie babe. 🥰

Day 29- Hook #Sketch #MakersmARTch #Pencil How about the hook(ed) beak of this falcon? I’m studying books and videos by John Muir Laws on sketching birds. I want to improve my eye and my speed so I can capture the birds that visit me each day.

Day 25-Stab #MakersmARTch #Watercolor #Art I’m running a bit behind. Life keeps life-ing, but sometimes my body doesn’t body. I feel like a hedgehog but all my spines are pointing inward. 😣Here’s a little hedgehog 🦔 whose body has taken a stab at a golden leaf.

Day 24- Pattern #Ink #MakersmARTch The Count has little patience for interruptions. Pattern meditation and a foray into character design.

Day 22- Draw #Sketchbook #Ink #Pencil #MakersmARTch Another blast from the past. This prompt from a 30 day challenge in 2016, Draw Something Mythical, seemed perfect for this prompt too. Meet Big Foot, Caught in a Private Moment.

#MkrsmARTch 22|draw First I draw a pattern, next I gather wool, silk, ribbons, lace, fabrics, dyed cheesecloth, floss and beads & the fun begins! #fabriccollage #draw #textileart #artyear #equine #ArtShare #art #sciart #artshow #onlybeautifulthings #uplift #WIP #horse #sew

Might save a life.

Day 21- Spray #MakersmARTch #Watercolor #Art It’s a challenge for me to paint loose. My art came out of me trying to control something in my life. My new goal is to trust and let go of that hard won control. Here is my attempt to capture the waterfall spray without touching it.

Day 20-Print #MakersmARTch #Art Look what I found! In the dusty spiderweb festooned corner of the garage I unearthed an old portfolio from my school days. Here is a print from my printmaking class. I remember bleeding a lot during this class. I’m glad the linoleum isn’t as hard to carve nowadays.

Wing print in the snow. This most commonly happens when a raptor drops down to catch or attempt to catch a critter for a meal. I had to dig back to a photo from 2018 for today. #MakersmARTch day 20 #print

Day 19- Fire #MakersmARTch #Art #Watercolor #Haiku Flame meditation seeking light that burns within controlled breath of life

Day 18- Glass #MakersmARTch #Watercolor #Art Stained glass-ish. It is raining and all my joints hate me. It is embarrassing how long it took me to do this picture but making straight-ish lines and creating some kind of order feels good even if my hands are shaking. Maybe because they are shaking.

Anyone recall these mini Wheaton glass bottles? When I was a kid, my dad placed them in all the windows of our house and I remember how excited I would get to see the sun come through them and shine all the colors on the walls in the early evening. #MakersmARTch #mARTch #Glass #Photography #art

Day 17-Thimble #Art #Watercolor #MakersmARTch I started this in the waiting room at the dentist’s office and finished it at home. I figured one of my small notebooks would be good for this one. A wee bit of green for St. Patrick and a clean check up for me. 😁🦷✨

Day 15- Sculpt #Art #MakersmARTch #Watercolor You know the saying “Do it scared”? Posting here I often have to “Do it frustrated”. There are scenes from a dream I keep trying to paint and I can’t seem to get them right. I will keep trying though and post even if I’m mad, frustrated, or scared.

#Makersmartch Day 14 #clay A thing hand sculpted rose is silver art clay, which when fired becomes a silver rose and the finished Moonlit Rose pendant. #ArtYear

Joining #MakersmARTch with some polymer #clay work.

Happy #PiDay Bluesky! With today’s art prompt material I made you a little apple pie 😆 #MakersmARTch #MkrsmARTch #clay

Day 14- #Clay #MakersmARTch #polymerclay I made this little friend years ago out of Sculpy. My son gave me a Gnomish buddy for him. Meet Pablo Pensando (a thoughtful guy) and Eddy. I love how Pablo’s expression changes based on lighting and angle. The pictures I took could tell a little story. 🤭

Day 13- Felt #MakersmARTch #Watercolor #Sketchbook Here is a quick paint up of various felt things that could be found around my house: A favorite hat, a dryer ball, a couple of catnip hearts and a wool garland. This is the last page of my 4x6 hot press Etchr Sketchbook. Time for something new. 🥳

Day 12- #Ink #MakersmARTch I love this ink. If you are only writing with it it is a perfectly respectable gray but the moment you touch water to it the colors separate into a magical lavender with pink floating around the edges. The paper towel is fun. My rinse water was mesmerizing.

Buenas noches 💫 Hasta mañana.

Bonne soirée

Day 11- Paint #MakersmARTch #Watercolor #Art Even if we make it there before sunset, can’t guarantee there will be a place to stay. I want to be there anyway.

Post a photo you took with no context, to bring some Zen to the timeline

Day 10- Glaze(d) #MakersmARTch #Watercolor #Art My son came & looked at this and remarked that it’s cool I always put the little man face and a dog in my paintings somewhere. 🫢😳🤨 Do I? Then they pointed them out to me in several examples. 😱🤯 I do! Can you find my subliminal sidekicks?

In the silence Of a winter wood Nudged by golden hour If I could stay Yes, I would Live inside Its calm forever. ❄️ #stunday #EastCoastKin #PhotographersofBlueSky #photography #Colorado

Every Kalash child is left with a dirty face, to avoid attracting unwanted spirit attention. The Kalash are known as the indigenous people of Chitral Pakistan, and their ancestors migrated to Chitral from Afghanistan in the 2nd century BC. #Pakistan #kalash

#MakersmARTch theme for Mar 9 is #Carved. This is my only carving so I'm reposting for today!

Ok, so here’s the results. The water lily potato didn’t really work out, I think I did it backwards 🤪 Next I tried a rose with the other one and started to get the hang of it near the end. Kinda like how that one turned out. #MakersmARTch #Carve #artisfun

Day 9- #Carved #MakersmARTch I stepped outside my comfort zone and made a thing! 🥳 Meet “OwlCat”. It started as a cat but the nose/beak gave me some trouble. My son has given me some great tips for block printing for next time. This was fun and I didn’t hurt myself so I will put it in the YES pile.

Day 8- #Pin #MakersmARTch These are my constant companions: My jean vest (which I wear because most of my clothing is pocket free and I can’t live that way) and my Bag of Holding (which I use to cart my portable art supplies to and fro).

Day 7-Glue #MakersmARTch #Ink #Markers #ArtTherapy How about a wee goblin cut out of my notebook and glued into a sketchbook? I really identify with him. I hope we both can work it out and get past whatever the cause.

A cygnet. An adorable cygnet. Yes, I love cygnets. #makersmARTch #soft #UKWildlife #Birding #BlueSkyphotography #Photography

Day 6- Soft #MakersmARTch #Watercolor #Art Warm and soft.

I see eyes on this old, weathered, wooden barn. #MakersmARTch #MkrsmARTch #wood #EastCoastKin #pareidolia #ISeeThings #eyes
