@caroll.noxatra immortalised, on film, this little corner of my Atelier. Atop my antique bench, where I craft all my jewels by hand, one by one, with sustainable sterling silver are stored upcycled jars holding my tools. Of course, I am also always surrounded by crystals, dried flowers and beautiful art, like this print of "Fantôme" my favourite @gwendolinoleum's drawing 🖤 . . . . #underthepyramids #portablemagick #CastelPyramids #Gwendolinoleum #meethemaker #toolsofthetrade #sustainablejewellery #sustainablejewlery #filmisnotdead (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/B369Qp_HQlN/?igshid=1joc8ovwa2ey2

#witchwithmewellness mini challenge (as always with Insta challenges I'm a day behind) . . I'm going to combine the witchy prompts with a bit of a meet the maker style thing to keep it on topic with my artwork . . Yesterdays prompt was Candle Magick. I mainly work with black or white candles, using then to process thoughts and banish negativity. I connect well with burning things so tend to write things down and burn them as a way of processing things and changing the way I look at a situation. . Candles also play a role in creating my Artwork. . . I like to burn a significant candle or incense when I'm starting a big Art project to help get into the right frame of mind. It also helps if I can't get in the zone to create, I now associate those smells with Art time and creativity. . There's a log slice on the windowsill infront of my desk where I have 3 'work' candles. 2 were gifts from friends which makes them extra special (@nabsnapsartandhenna painted the beautiful pink henna candle) and the wolf tin candle was from @yviedesigns . . . #witchwithme #meethemaker #meettheartist #thisishowiwork #myworkspace #artistinspiration #witchlife #behindthescenes #etsyartist #folksyartist #bookofshadows #candlemagic #artwitch #paganartist #fantasyartist #mentalhealth #mentalclarity https://www.instagram.com/p/CC-6gBvlm7W/?igshid=l88t3bpnopfw

Today's one of those rare days that my Art room is semi-tidy, so I thought I'd take the chance to do one of those #meethemaker "here's a glimpse at my workspace" posts. . . So this is my Art 'Studio' also known as the front bedroom of our house. (One day I'd love to get a nice big shed in the garden, or maybe a loft conversion... one can dream!) . . I've always been a scavenger and most furnishings and storage in my art space were freebies I saved from skips. One man's waste is another's treasure. It's taken a lot of trial and error to make these odd bits and pieces work in the space but it's finally at a workable level. . . My system at the moment is an L shape of tables, one for drawing, one for experiments/ drying and one for cutting down work and packaging. There's usually piles of handwritten notes... to do lists and ideas loitering everywhere. Once in a blue moon it gets too much and I have a good sort sesh. -Epic bonus, today I've found some notes for some awesome ideas I had at the beginning of the year! I'll probably remember to start them soon... . . Just off shot is some garage shelves where I stack materials, reference books & on going projects. 'The Beast' aka my printer. And one side of the room is dedicated to boxed work ready to take to events . Organised Chaos here 100% . . . #meetthemakermondays #myworkspace #meettheartist #organisedchaos #orangefruitcake #orangefruitcakeart #beckyfoxton #artist #artspace #workspace #workinghard #hardworker #artistofig #skipfinds #wasteless #reducereuserecycle #nolandfill https://www.instagram.com/p/CClN_rpF3hE/?igshid=rg7inr295hb7

#meetthemakerweek day 6 shopping small • QOTD: Where do you shop small? • Today is the last day of #meethemaker week and today’s focus is on shopping small. This is a little preview for the sticker sale I’ll be having soon, here’s what available (other than the red Dino which I sent to @laumoraiti.illustration for her son Tobi) Why should you shop small? Well...for a number of reasons, you’re helping out local artists and merchants with their business and making ends meet, helping them grow, and getting something awesomely unique. ❤️ When you shop locally enough you’ll get to know the owners, and that’s pretty cool too. All in all, shop local and get some cool stuff! • These hand cut/hand drawn stickers are currently available for purchase, DM to get some before the official post comes out! ...you might just get a freebie or 2 if you pre-order too...😉 • • I hope everyone has a wonderful meet the maker week! Thank you so much for all the support! Don’t forget to check out my Kofi and Redbubble if you want to support me as well 🥰 Today is the last day to order commissions by the holidays! • • For those of you in the Boston area I’ve included some of my favorite small businesses below @papermouseshop ( @papermouseatelier is having their craft show today from 11-5 go check it out!) @blackinkboston @redwagonboston @wellesleybooks @albrightartsupply And a special one to those in the Brunswick ME area @themixonmaine • #etsystickers #stickers #stickershop #stationery #bujo #bulletjournal #happyplanner #plannersupplies #bujos #stickersobsessed #plannerlife #planneraddict #plannerstickers #stickersforsale #stationeryshop #stationerylove #plannercommunity #plannergoodies #stationery #cutestickers #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #digitalillustration #illustration #stationeryaddict #illustrationartists #artistsupport #supportlocalartists #supportsmallbusiness (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5x2UXuhhNt/?igshid=18rw1tmt6f4u4
