ART, DESIGN, CRAFT, AND CULTURE.

Hello there! I left this blog to archive many years ago now, no idea who still posts on here, but here are two of the nudibranchs I’ve been stitching this week 💚🩵

[matthaytonillustration]

Introducing my two new hard enamel pins! 

The first design is based on my Selkie illustration. — “Male selkies are described as being very handsome in their human form, and having great seductive powers over humans. They typically seek those who are dissatisfied with their lives. If a someone wishes to make contact with a selkie male, they must shed seven tears into the sea.“💧

The second design is based on my Hufflepuff Badger illustration. As a Hufflepuff myself, I’ll definitely be wearing mine to show some Hufflepuff Pride but I also love the folklore surrounding the badger — "In folklore, the badger is regarded as the keeper of stories in the animal kingdom and was revered for its wisdom, strength, courage and persistence. In the past, the badger was also thought to have magical powers as it was nocturnal." 🌿

I’m over the moon with how they turned out. 

They’re listed in my Etsy shop already so if you fancy picking one (or both) up, you can HERE

Introducing my first ever enamel pin! They arrived today and I couldn’t be more pleased, they’re lovely! 

The design is based on my ‘White Rabbit, Black Rabbit’ folklore illustration. “In parts of Britain, people say ‘Black rabbits, black rabbits, black rabbits’ in the closing seconds of the old year. Then they say, ‘White rabbits, white rabbits, white rabbits,’ as their first utterance of the New Year. This is suppose to bring good luck.” 

Pin size is approximately 30mm at its widest point. Each pin is made with hard enamel so the colours sits flush with the metal for a smooth finish. 

They’re listed in my Etsy shop already so if you fancy picking one up, you can here — https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/fawnlorn 🌿

Feminist Fiber Art show is a wonderful new show celebrating all things textile and the incredible ladies making artwork, it opened at the Washington St. Art Centre, in Boston on August 14th, and will travel to different locations next year. 

The exhibit showcases the work of a truly talented bunch from all over the world, from some previously featured artists like Sally Hewett, to Alaina Varrone & Jess De Wahls among others! The show looks like it had a brilliant opening, and the accompanying art crawl was a stroke of genius. 

You can also find volumes 1 & 2 of their zine for sale over here. With all proceeds going on to support the travelling exhibition, the second volume of the zine also features the work of some male fiber artists—with digital copies of both zines viewable on the Feminist Fiber Art blog.

By Adam Pritchett, from brightly coloured spiders, to a poisonous plants series, and a troupe of witches & wizards (including one you might recognise from the original Power Rangers)—more shots over on The Old Needle, Instagram, and on Etsy.

[therhumboogie]

By Matt Hayton, gorgeous watercolour illustrations of original characters such as the two birds (for an upcoming zine!), and fan favourites like Victor & Lily Frankenstein from Penny Dreadful—also on Tumblr, Instagram, and Etsy.

We just wanted to let you know that we are so touched by the positive response and support that we have received from all of you guys! You can’t know how appreciative we are. <3 We have received some incredible submissions so far, and we are still accepting submissions through June 30! So get your application in if you haven’t yet; you only have a few more weeks! You can find all of the guidelines for applying on our website at www.feministfiberart.com/submitart. 

Any artist that identifies as a woman is welcome to apply to this exhibition. You do not need to be based in Boston or exclusively a fiber artist. Your work does not need to explicitly have a feminist agenda either - we are considering all submissions regardless of content. We are also accepting submissions from artists that identify as male for the zine that we are creating to accompany the exhibit. We are calling it Men Can Make Kickass Fiber Art Too. We decided to organize this exhibit because we are frustrated by how under-represented female artists are in the art world! We wanted to empower women artists and were particularly inspired by the Guerrilla Girls’ statistic that less than 3% of the artists in the Met’s Modern Art sections are women, but 83% of the nudes are females. Women shouldn’t have to be naked to get into an exhibit! 

So far we have confirmed the incredible artists Alaina Varrone, Sally Hewett, Ýrúrarí, Jess De Wahls, Mia Cross, Michelle Gauthier and Adipocere. We still have space to accommodate more artists, so don’t be shy, submit!   

We have big, badass plans for this exhibit! It is traveling through alternative art spaces in Greater Boston for several months, beginning with an opening in Somerville on August 14. We are totally throwing down for the opening party, with work installed in three dope locations in Somerville, alcohol served at every venue, and bands fronted by bad bitches that will be performing. The headlining band, Dent, will be wearing costumes handmade by our featured artist, Ýrúrarí. Here is the facebook event page for the opening, if you want to read more about it or if you happen to live near Boston and can make it!  

We can’t make all of this happen with out all of your support! Please consider sharing this blog post, volunteering, or donating to our exhibition funds. A group of friends and I are paying for this exhibit out-of-pocket, so any amount that you would be interested in contributing would be incredibly appreciated.  

If you have any questions or would like to get involved in any way (this is an incredibly collaborative, community event) please email Iris Nectar at [email protected].

By Allison Sommers, one of my favourite artists of the moment — dark, mysterious, and utterly beautiful drawings and paintings. I was at the Kendal Comic Festival over the weekend and bought a book from Tiny Pencil, which has Allison's illustration on the cover and it is wonderful! Check out more of her work on Tumblr.

I’m a super geek so i decided to draw my boyfriend and myself as classic Universal Monsters from Hallowe’en. Adam is the the Wolf-Man from the 1941 film of the same name and I’m the Gill-Man from the1954 film The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Creeping it real!

In other news, I post a bunch of progress work as well as random geeky stuff on my Instagram account if you fancy checking that out.

Plus. here’s a bunch of places I also post my stuff - Etsy, Twitter, and Facebook

By Iris Grace, in a remarkable feat for a young girl of just five, all of the amazing paintings shown here have been painted by Iris (with a little help from her cat it seems), as a way to express herself — something that her autism can mean is challenging. Iris' mother says, 

"I make up some cups of very watery paints, she chooses which one she would like to use and gets me to make more when she needs it and she mixes her own colours from mug to mug. Her autism has created a style of painting which I have never seen in a child of her age, she has an understanding of colours and how they interact with each other."
