#pinchpunchfirstofthemonth BUT last day of the @peakdistrictartisans#pinchpunchfirstofthemonth#showcaseintheshop Doors close 4.30 today, don't miss your last chance PS (End of upbeat Insta style post and revert to fedi mode) I haven't even sold a card this week 😢

winter is almost over, thank goodness, and my brain is coming out of its hibernation. I'm happy to be back at the loom. This is a mini-quilt, based on a big quilt I've had since I was a little kid. It's (hopefully) going to be on display for the bay area […] [Original post on toots.ravenoak.dev]

tada~ time to put it in the water and watch that merino go poof 🐑

I have discovered some stunning Art Nouveau and Neo-Baroque doors within abandoned buildings over the years. I love the organic, flower-like forms mixed with the decay that comes from the passage of time. #ArtNouveau #Doors #Design #Photography #Door #Abandoned […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Spent a pleasant day chopping up coffee sacks kindly donated to me by Buxton Coffee Roasters. I had an abstract urge and used a bag from our regular coffee order for a little study which I hope to frame tomorrow. Does anyone remember Issy Noho? […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

I'm happy with this now, blocked and stretched ready for framing. However I haven't got a name for it. It's an autumnal view of Sheepwash Bridge in Ashford in the Water, near Bakewell in Derbyshire. I usually have a play on words for my titles but I'm […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

✈️ 🚂 🚗 Planes, Trains and Automobiles (and a cable car!) 🚡 Old cars taken for one last drive and dumped in forests. Cable cars left in silent stations. Soviet-era planes, once gate guardians to old air bases, now just an out-of-place curiosity. Huge rusting […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

What a lovely surprise this morning when looking to make a post about my books, specifically Mini Book Of Monsters! I found I had lots of lovely reviews! I didn't have this available to me on my previous website, so thank you to those of you who have left glowing reports! buff.ly/POcrpyI #monsters

I think this is finished 🤔 It will sit on the back of the sofa for a bit, until I'm sure, and I will share a better pic once it has been blocked. I'm on duty at Chatsworth this morning if you're passing (unlikely I know at the weather is atrocious!) I'll try […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

🌳 Lonely, windswept trees existing on the harsh rocky outcrops of the Yorkshire Dales limestones. There is something evocative about these gnarly trees, symbolising nature's resilience and the idea that life always finds a way. The images were captured using a […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

🎭 The show must go on! An abandoned theatre, somewhere in England. Looking across the upper balcony seating, at the old VIP box. I wish I could have seen a play here, sipping prosecco in my own private booth. A girl can dream :) #England #Photography #Abandoned […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

☠️ The Church of The Baron, Romania Within years of its completion, both the Baron and his wife were interred here. Today, only the altar and a few pews remain inside the stripped interior. The impressive domed ceiling is gradually collapsing, and a rickety […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

I'm rather certain I've posted this one before. but looking at this picture pleases me so much, I decided to share it again #lichensubscribe #Mosstodon #naturephotography #macro #photography

Took a picture of this painting to see it. Didnt even look at it, packed away the painting, then realised I had taken this. Sigh. I hate selling things it gives me needles in my brain. I do like money though, could you all send me money for just existing please. I will make art. And exist.

I love old Citroens, especially the iconic 2CV. I found some abandoned ones tucked away in a small English village. My favourite was the Citroën 2CV6 Dolly. These were mechanically identical to the 1980s Special models (there were also a couple of them in this […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

Are there any artists on here I can commission a couple of logos from?

Do you make commercial digital art and take commissions? I'm working on a project for a new, local, independent appliance repair service, and they need a logo and header image for the web site. Looking for links to artist portfolios. (please boost for reach)

🏥 An abandoned hospital, which opened around 1900. Somewhere in Scotland. It closed roughly 40 years ago. Several blocks have since been converted into flats, though much of the site remains derelict. More recently, there have been several large fires, so I […] [Original post on mstdn.social]

After sleeping in until 1pm 🤯 I have only spoken to my son today (which is always brief as anyone with a teenage son will know) Therefore I have refreshed my spoons after too much peopling and I have achieved a little more stitching. Not sure about the white […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

Corridors of despair. A collection of sombre hallways that have surely witnessed some dark chapters of medical history. This is an old Italian manicomio (or "madhouse"), an archaic form of psychiatric hospital, abandoned since the 1990s […] [Original post on mstdn.social]
