Another humpback whale in the making! Working on a mossy stone look for this one. Sculpted from paper mache, painted with acrylics 💚

Handmade art dolls inspired by folk art. Each character is unique and designed to look wonderfully weird and perfectly imperfect 🌿 littlebirdofparadise.bigcartel.com/products #bsnm #handmade #artsky #mhhsbd #originalart #weirdart #outsiderart #art

Hi again friends!! 🌱🐛 It's been a busy spring, with house hunting taking a lot of time and energy - fingers crossed that's sorted now, and I can get back to more regular gremlinposting 😌 I've really missed the vibes on here! These two are made from paper mache, spun cotton, and fabric scraps. 💕

These are my best goblins at the moment

It's Spring 🌸

some days you're the pigeon, other days you're the sad potato whale #sculpture #polymerclay #potato

handmade samdolls inspired of impressions of my interest in alpinism&mountaineering; the atmospheric unforgiving presence of tallest mountains. two for sale, springtime2025

For #makersMARTch theme #flash, I love how the evening sunlight caught the edges of this rustic squirrel necklace, reflecting off the metal similarly to how some artificial flashes might 🌰🍂 Based on the red squirrel, Tamiasciurus hudsonicus #eastCoastKin #stunDay #stun #animalArt #squirrel #art

Really happy about how I managed to assemble the arm and the folds of the cloth. I think I will work on the bottom part before making the right arm.

This. Seeing sketch lines in hand drawn animation. Seeing fingerprints in claymation. It's like hearing the faint sound of the hand moving over the strings of a guitar when someone is playing. Small imperfections are signs of life.

Best mail day ever thanks to @crumplings.bsky.social whose gorgeous little creature made it to me very quickly and safely. Find your own little friend here: shop.crumplings.co.uk/about-crumpl...

This image has recently gone viral, so I have decided to make prints available, the proceeds of which will be donated to www.compassionconnectionua.org Prints available here: the-zombie-penguin.myshopify.com/products/a-s...

I’m so excited!! Look how beautiful this little elephant calf is! Thank you so much 🥰

It's finally new moon, which means a giveaway winner has been picked tonight! 🌙 Congrats @raynarambling.bsky.social - the little elephant calf is yours 🥳💜

Over the last few weeks, I've been working on interpretations of the air, water, and earth elementals. This week, it's the turn of fire. So, meet Spark, a salamander (the elemental spirit, not the cute little amphibian) This little one is now available at spyderthread.com #dollmaking #handmade #art

American robin (Turdus migratorius). #birds

Sorry for the poor quality photo but I was so pleased with how these turned out. Tomorrow, I will add the ribbon and d ring. Free motion cottage keyring.

I'm looking forward to the return of the sun and being able to photograph my dolls outdoors again. Here's Garnet hanging out in a cherry tree last summer. Those garnet chips looked so pretty in the morning sun #artdolls

I made a ball-jointed textile doll 🥰 #fiberarts #dollmaking #bjd

New piece finished today. «The Old Gobelin». Mixed media on paper. Size A2. Comments and constructive criticism are very welcome!

Many of the smaller branches that fell during the last storm look similar to this one: crowded with years and years worth of cute, fluffy plant/fungal life. I love the variety of textures here

him!

The Ammonite sculpture is getting closer to completion. Next step, finish the seaweed and base. #art #sculpture #sciart #cosclay

Recent arty play. One of the many reasons I love creating art journals from old books is the magicks of using books as an oracle of wisdom words. "The magic is assembled here A deep wisdom about life A work of art And Many hours of enchantment" #ArtYear #artjournal #alteredbook #artwitchery

Today's work in progress is this colorful gremlin art doll! 🥹🎉 I'm mostly using paper mache, spun cotton, and fabric scraps for this lil creature.

Happy Valentine's Day! Love is knowing you can ask for that which your heart truly desires

finally got the chance to make something I’d been thinking about for awhile! I’d love to make more, in all sorts of colors- just ask! 🦌✨ www.stitchybutton.etsy.com

“Early Snow.” This 8×10-inch artwork, acrylic on gallery wrap canvas. A serene tableau of tall grasses & cattails, dots of snow, pond edge with ripples & cloud reflections. Inspired by nature, it was a unique journey to capture this atmosphere through my brush. #TraditionalArt

The theme is #flower for today’s #macrophotoFriday. Here the flower is captured in a drop of water. Taken with iPhone using an olloclip lens (wish they still made those). #macro #photography #EastCoastKin

Partners. Lovers. Handmade dolls🙂

Day 10 of FebruArty is #rings. Who knew birdsong looked like twirling rings???

Visited family in Finland! Was great to see my siblings, they're the best 😭 In lieu of new art, here's a pile of snow? (My dad & I made it for the Saimaa ringed seals, who need more snow for burrowing than they got this year. Only ~500 exist, but used to be ~100! Manmade snowdrifts help a bit 🦭🤍)

A butterfly elephant inspired by the upcoming Snow Moon, and her little calf with new moons on its ears! ❄️🌙 (These two are related to a small collection of reasoning puzzles I made in a similar aesthetic vein, though using watercolors and inks. I'll be posting more about next week!! Can't wait :))

Forgot the Alt text 😢

It'll take a while to finish this one (... please ESPECIALLY don't look at the face, it's just a mockup but somehow looks 10x scarier in photos gghdfgsdhh) - but this sculpture has been one of my absolute favorites to work on recently! 💫🐌 #wip

I have made quite my share of strange dolls but I feel that this one is one of the weirdest of the Little Bird's family. And I obviously love her 🖤 She is handmade from textiles, paperclay and found objects. littlebirdofparadise.bigcartel.com/product/wild... #folkArt #handmade #perfectlyimperfect

I think I’ll hide in this undersea garden for a while. Sea Poppies Acrylic on Watercolor Paper #art #painting #imagine #sealife
