Here's another "soothing stone" I finished up the other night. This one has a nice sunny vibe to it, and after putting on the thick gloss bumps, it feels lovely to hold and run your fingers over. :)

It's going to my mother-in-law. I hope she likes it.

And finally, one I finished varnishing up last night, another re-do of a previous triquetra or "Trinity Knot" design I painted a while back. The previous one was painted in warm red, gold, and copper tones, so I wanted to try again with cooler tones this time. :)

Plus a couple really small ones that will become magnets. A rainbow for #Pride

A bunch of "Soothing Stones". The first was a gift for a friend who was really into Taylor Swift, so the colours were meant to match her latest album, "The Life of a Showgirl".

I like making these; they usually go really quickly to friends, but I'm trying to build up a bunch of them so I can donate them to a good cause. I'll explain more about that later, once I have enough. ^^

Two more… The purple/pink/turquoise one is a re-do of a previous design I painted. I think the original works better… the fuchsia background didn't pop as much as a black background would have, I think.

The other was just because I wanted to play around with metallic copper, so I did a design based around that and red tones. I thought it came out well! Might have ended up a little too busy, though…

I've been doing some more dot painting lately, and I promised I'd share some of the results, so here we go… mini-thread!

The first one (green + purple) is a stone I made for a friend, I call them "Soothing Stones" because I amplify the dots with thick glaze, making a really pleasing bumpy surface. They feel really good to hold in your hand and run your fingers over.

The other is a "dragon egg" design. I did an earlier one in reds, and wanted to try again with blues. :)

Pink is the New Grey - This one has been sitting here unpublished for a while now... painted in late 2025: #acrylics and acrylic marker on carton, ~50×60cm.

The #painting is a wordplay on the saying that at #night all cats are grey. I always thought people just said that, but now that I own a grey cat I can only say - they're INVISIBLE at #twilight. It's uncanny. My black cats are still visible as absence of light at least.

Made my mom a badge holder for her new VTA Access card. I used reference photos of our actual cat

Another request for a Hariko design was an Ushi-Oni. A creature of pure terror. But now, it's a good luck charm. Though I dont know yet what they project you from.

My first try with acrylics! Jumped into the deep end to just experiment. A test of texture and colour mixing. With just three colours (magenta, blue, yellow) I kept accidentally creating every shade of green and nothing else at first. Trying to understand how to create texture was also great fun, I like how the corner bush feels

Part of my "don't be scared to try new things" challenge I've set myself

Everything came from a Scrawlr box I got years ago on discount
