I'm taking part in Art Fight this year! My friend bullied me into joining the battle and I'm having so much fun so far

All my attacks as of right now are above

If you're taking part too, find me there as MulchLover69! (It's silly I know, I panicked)

This is Deilephila Elpenor. A fairy based on the elephant hawkmoth (her name is the fancy science latin name for said species). I think she's pretty neat

She's my Wild Beyond the Witchlight D&D character. A cheeky bard in a double act called The Moonflowers with a young goblin, Pippin. She sees Pippin as her son, and if anything were to happen to him, she would have no mercy

It's my first time playing d&d and this is my character, Scarlet Tyge! She's designed around scarlet tiger moths because I think they're neat

[caitlinsnestofwonders]

Just some doodles of little moments that happened in the d&d campaign I'm part of. It's my first time playing so it's very new to me, but it's so fun!

Test prints of some upcoming bookmarks: success!

I just need to fetch some yellow card so that these little salamanders have their true colours and they'll all be set!

This is my most intricate lino piece I've done so far, and I'm so pleased with how it turned out! It had a lot of spooky tiny details I really didn't know would turn out, but I'm relieved they do! Phew, I can finally breathe haha

These will be released in June after the market I'm vending at

I've been a very busy bug making lots of little friends to share with everyone

I just tried out Cyanotype for the first time and it's so fun! I used some of my pressed/old leaves from my houseplants and I'm in awe at how cool the syngonium leaf turned out!

I can't wait to experiment with more, I might even try printing on some and see how it turns out

[caitlinsnestofwonders]

I made some mugs! I had a go at slab building, throwing and pinch pottery

I had so much fun and I can't wait to see them with their glazes in a few weeks! 😊✨️

The sizing of them are quite extreme opposites though, I think I'd consider the slab built one more of a ceramic tankard than a mug haha. And my thrown mug is quite small but it's cute, I'm happy with how neat it turned out. The pinching one didn't turn out as nice as you can see back there, haha. Lets hope the glaze I picked out does it justice

My recent crochet creations! I'm fairly new to crochet so these adorable little projects have made me so happy to do

Surprisingly, the bee was easier for me, but I think that's because I went a bit tight on my stitches for the pumpkin haha. It was hard to get the hook between the stitches so it took me a while to do

[caitlinsnestofwonders]

The bug collection is growing! Ah, I'm so excited, these are so fun to make and seeing the finished results always makes me so giddy

I have plans to make more different little friends soon, but currently I'm stocking up on the ones I have already to make sure I have plenty to come with me to the market I'm vending at in a few months 🐝✨️🪲
