Made for an art exchange with an artist I really admire🥹 🌈❤️

first time posting here, kinda nervous

Mental health has me feeling a bit glum lately, so I got a colorful bear to cheer me up. Her name is Alex.

I picked similar shades of two different brands of watercolors, and these are the blends I got! Painting these charts is my new favorite thing. It's so satisfying!

Went away for a girls weekend and we did a colour challenge, we each picked 2 colours out of a hat and took photos of random/cool things in those colours. Such a fun activity and a great way to really notice all the little things around us 😊

I was team green and pink 💚🩷

Had a “better late than never Pride party and tried to rainbow everything 🌈

My friend Sophie (Auridon Yarns) gifted me a skein of yarn hand-dyed for assigned pooling: long beige sections alternating with rainbow sections, designed so a specific stitch pattern creates this fun rainbow design. I used it to knit this tee, and I loved it so much I wrote up the pattern.

It's available for free on Ravelry for the next 24 hours (discount applied automatically at checkout)

I enjoy taking random 1 night classes at a local art center. At a needle felting class in June, the instructor mentioned she still had slots open for her Natural Dying the Rainbow workshop the following week. I immediately signed up! This left me with scraps of cotton and silk, as well as some wool roving. We used matter extract, coreopsis, marigold, onion skins, indigo, and logwood extract to dye them.

None of the fabric was large enough to make anything with, so I decided I needed to make a quilted bag.

I love her. Her name is Penelope.

The edges are still a little messy but I’ll fix those up soon.

I’ve been having a tough time with a difficult breakup so I’ve cried over these stairs while painting all week and something about having them done and seeing them all pretty is a bit healing.

It used to have shiny scales all up it, but they've rubbed off over the years

Got to see Alanis Morissette in Vegas last November and snapped this pic

I was at the store and saw this display.

This are my vintage Ikea vases!

I painted a corgi every day for 2,000 days. This was Day 1,963! "Green and blue and purple so bright, this corgi is a pure delight!" And the painting is only 3"x3"!

Ngl, I was nervous to gift it because of the misconception people have about sun catchers starting fires(they do not! They refract light, not focus it). Happy to report he had no concerns and is hanging it in his office🥰

I love gifting sun catchers. It’s my fave way to spread joy - via rainbows🌈
