Reinvent Your Artist Journey

One thing that has been on my mind for a while is reinventing my art journey. In the beginning, I did not really have a plan or a clear path. I just drew whatever I wanted, without thinking much about whether an audience would connect with it from week to week. I still fall into that sometimes, but now I have more direction in what I create. Most of my work ties back to the world building of Veil of Entheos, the creatures and people that exist within it, and the stories that continue to grow […]

2nd Ombriani Fragment

In the depths of the ocean, the twin leviathans begin to change.The ocean demands less of them now, and their bodies shift in response. Their massive forms shrink, their weight giving way as they narrow and lengthen into twin eels. Their bodies glide more easily through the water, slipping between coral and stone. The Shadow Child remains, but altered. No longer a leviathan, now something quieter, more patient.The twin eels can no longer sing their sorrowful songs. The sound is gone, replaced […]

1st Ombriani Fragment

The twin leviathans, born from the twisted rebirth of the Shadow Child. The creature coils and writhes within a small glass tank, its body pressing against the sides as it sings low, wavering songs that seem to plead for release back into the depths of the [REDACTED] ocean. The sound hums through the water, soft but constant, like something remembering where it belongs.This cycle, the Shadow Child’s family, long accustomed to the transformations of their cursed child, are uncertain. They do […]

The third prototype is made with 100% wool felt. The wiring method in the arms and legs has been figured-out. I have just a few pattern tweaks to make. Because she's not standing on her own. #artdoll #dollmaker #handmade #handsewn #woolfelt #originalpattern #originaldesign #workingartist #smallartbusiness
Hmmm...I wonder what they're thinking about? [Something I put together yesterday for which I have plans.] #workingartist #smallartbusiness #dollmaker #artdolls #dollwithoutaface #felt #handmade #originalart
Artemis and Cosima are now completely sewn together! On to clothing design and creation! #artdoll #dollartist #embroidery #handsewn #workingartist #smallartbusiness #ooak #felt
The cheek embroidery on Artemis is complete. I've also added some lid colour around each of their eyes. I was so tired of a single thread satin stitch that a split stitch sounded fun. So that's what I used around the eyes. #dollartist #artdoll #embroidery #felt #handmadedoll #softsculpture #ooak #workingartist #smallartbusiness
Cosima has some much fancier cheeks this morning! #artdoll #dollartist #embroidery #handmade #workingartist #smallartbusiness
The green twin is all together, except the head. She's been given a name too, Artemis! I like how the second colour of green embroidery turned out. It will be strange to cover up a lot of it with clothing. #handmade #handsewn #embroidery #artdoll #dollartist #smallartbusiness #workingartist
I have the violet twin together, except for the head. She's got a name now too! Cosima! #embroidery #Dollart #artdoll #handmade #smallartbusiness #woolfelt
