Surreal Days III #art #illustration #drawing

Initial paintings of a 'La Fontaine au Loup', Mailly-le-Château, France (its sculpter, Yves Varanguin, has kindly given me permission to include it in my art :-)). Thinking about making these into postcards, art prints...? What do you think? #wolf #art #loup #gouacheart #wolfpainting #folklore

evening tea the truth of Aesop’s fables swirling in my mind #haiku #haiga #gratitude #Aesop #tea Last evening’s tea bag tag brought to mind the small yet significant ways in which the Bluesky community lift one another. Thank you all so much 🙏🏼✨🤎

Mini artwork... Created with the prompt 'Quiet' which will be its title. The two elements of #cat and #mistletoe were from quiet walks around the village. The cat had a very quiet energy too. #mixedmediaart #miniartworks #art #intuitive #amandatamsin #originalart #artbyhumans

What a fascinating rock and great colour inspiration! #minerals

A beautiful and healthy #fern 💚 #houseplants

The woodland is rather brown right now, so the planthanger blended with it too much, so I removed the background in the second picture. Though left the other to give an idea of size. What do you think of these triple #planthangers? Would you have one for your #houseplants? #macrame #fibreart

Good news! Earlier this year I shared reports that the land around the Cerne Abbas Giant was up for sale I’m delighted that, after lots of conversations, the land has now been bought by the National Trust (who already own the Giant): www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... bsky.app/profile/guys...

Love the affirmation in this 💛 #haiku #gingko

Mini pieces of #mixedmediaart Made for a #awitchyyuletide challenge on Insta. The prompt is 'Gather'. The backgrounds are pieces from an old artwork, the #gingko leaves gathered locally and attached with golden thread and my husband's grandmother's lace. #trailtreasure #contemporaryart #nature

The first one I think is Oakmoss #lichen (Evernia Prunastri), the second I see less often here in #Burgundy. Can anyone ID? From #dailywalk, coming out of thin #woodland into 'prairie seche' as described here. #naturefinds #mindfulmoments #trailtreasures #bourgognefranchecomte #forestfloor

A good guide to some lichens found in #Northumberland, UK, though I think it's helped me identify some Oak Moss in #Burgundy. www.northumberlandnationalpark.org.uk/identifying-... #lichen #naturemagic #nature

Such a beautiful bird! Lovely seeing these accents of red in this season ❤️ #cardinal #birds #nature

Stoked to have controlled this #Firecrest in the 'wild' area of @londonzoo.bsky.social. It had been ringed at @landguardbo.bsky.social in October and is almost certainly a continental migrant. It is one of only ~6 Firecrests that have travelled over 100km in the UK #Londonbirds #birdinging #BTO

It would be so helpful if you could RT my post above about my Etsy shop. I haven't been able to work for more than half the year due to severe depression/a breakdown. If you see this & could spare a few moments for a RT it would help me put my designs in front of a few more eyes. Thankyou so much🌿

When in my Google feed, I search for calming articles about nature. Since I've been doing this anxiety-provoking news titles have reduced. This morning, the top article in my Google feed was this one about #walrus, Svalbard ❄️ www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts... #nature #wellbeing #bienetre

So true! We can all think and act positively as individuals and the cumulative effect of all these little actions is powerful. #SundayThoughts

Sharing the primary/strong colours today! (by chance) ❤️. Beautiful #lichen

My brain is tired after the market today, plus visiting a fascinating 3D printing and laser cutting studio in the village 🙂 So time to #slowstitch - definitely about the process and creating organically... A bonus if outcome is good! #mindfulmoments #fibrearts #meditative #art #recycle #coudre

Au marche du village aujourd'hui. Toujours un bon ambience et evenement pour socialiser. Cartes postales d'art #loup et #ours sont ont train de partir vite, mais quelques choses de macrame vendues aussi. Comme on voit, les suspensions ne sont pas que pour les plantes! #mixedmediaart #Frenchmarket

A car park #meadow! #carparkplants

Found a couple more #carparkplants posts! Magnifique💛

So much colour inspiration in Auxerre... Beaucoup l'inspiration pour les couleurs en Auxerre... #artinspiration #urban #bourgognefranchecomte #Auxerre #dailywalk #architecture

Such a pretty church and beautiful setting!

Felt like I didn't do much yesterday, though I did pot these tradescantia cuttings, which had rooted in this jug. I put three cuttings in each pot, so they should look nice and bushy. Love to paint/draw them. #houseplants #plantsky #plantesintérieures #tradescantia #plantlovers #artinspiration

Is there a hashtag for #carparkplants? These were in Vermenton, France. Surroundings rather grey, but these added some colour! #plantsky #plantes #autumnleaves #feuilles

Black Friday is a day to boycott billionaires.

Just finished these little assemblage macrame charms. Each piece unique. I'll be adding some to the shop this Sunday (link in bio). Je viens de finir ces petits amulettes macrame assemblage. Je les ajouterai a la boutique (lien en bio) ce dimanche. #assemblage #art #amulette #charm #macrame

'Coprin Chevelu' en francais ou 'Shaggy Mane' in English (my husband and I believe, though we're not experts). Growing beside a canal pathway in Burgundy, France. First time I've seen these. Photo taken mid-October. #fungifriday #naturebeautiful #bourgognefranchecomte #nature #mindfulmoments

I thought I'd finished these a few weeks' ago, but have returned to add some warm yellow. Will probably do a little more blending too. #art #originalart #gouachepainting #insectpainting #katydids #insect #artbyhumans #wildlifepainting #amandatamsin #artinprogress #insecte #peinture

Feeling pressure to get things done, but this morning I returned to 'L'Or de la Terre' by Bernard Clavel. Also reading Dr Tara Swart, who reminds us that this time is not wasted - it is just right for allowing free association of thought = creativity & solutions. #Thursdaythoughts #reading #book

When I see photos of these fairy #wrens in my feed, it takes me back to my travels in #Australia like it was yesterday. Social media can be wonderful, when used well. #nature #beautiful

Wow! #birds #nature

Love these #birds. I've only ever seen them pretending to be a branch. #TawnyFrogmouth #nature

CANDLESTICK FUNGI The first time I found these, they were like alien sticks. I didn’t even know they were fungi. Now they have grown quite a bit, some looking a little like antlers. #fungifriends #moss #candlesnuff #photography #nature #OurFuture

A cute little gift here for someone who loves #houseplants Mini Macrame Planthanger. Choice of colours available at amandatamsin.fr/products/mac... #macrameplanthanger #handmadegift #suspensionmacrame #shopindie #shopsmall #homedecor #Planthanger

Quand on fait la promenade, c'est les petits mondes feeriques qui me captivent en ce moment. When we go for our walk, it's these enchanting mini-words that are captivating me... #moss #conker #mousse #naturesky

Lovely job for @nationaltrust.org.uk Dinefwr: for every xmas they commission a local fibre artist to create tree decorations of the wildlife on site. But they realised they'd never told the public about the decorations. So they commissioned me to illustrate & create interpretation panels:
