A close up of an embroidery project in a hoop. There are three partial colourful circles. There is some red-violet thread in a needle sticking into the black fabric in the central circle.

A hand is holding an embroidery project of a mermaid with her hand under her chin. The mermaid is outlined in black thread. Her hair is filled with a gradient of many colors. Some of her scales are also coloured in with the colours in her hair

An acrylic painting of a waxing crescent moon on a circular canvas. The craters on the moon are not realistic. It's a vibe-based moon. In the shadow of the moon is a purple barred owl. Surrounding the moon is a matte sky with stars. The painting is hanging in a blue wall

An acrylic painting of matte black profile with leaves behind and leaves & there red flowers in front. The plants are very stylized and overlapping on top of each other in several hues of green. Some layers of paint are scratched away to create the forms and veins of the leaves & flowers

A piece of textile art made of lots of different embroidery stitches. It looks like there's a creek in the lower left corner and a fallen tree in the lower right. With some (oversized) purple  flowers in the middle

Day 19 of #ArtAdventCalendar is this like embroidery thing I made.. I was trying to make a forest creek from above. I don't think it was successful as such, but I like the textures

Many layers of acrylic paint applied to a canvas with a palette knife. Dominant colours are pinks greens and grays.

Day 18 of #ArtAdventCalendar is another one I'm not sure wholly counts as art, but I've been putting all my leftover paint on this canvas for a couple years. I think it's done and I'm starting a new one in the new year

An embroidered mermaid, mostly in black thread. Her hair is filled in with orange, red & purple thread. The mermaid is stretching in a circle shape with her tail fins almost touching her head. The stitching has lots of little mistakes and you can still see some of the mostly erased pencil under-drawing

Day 16 of #ArtAdventCalendar is a moon painting from 2023 before I decided to challenge myself by making the moon more realistic. It's more of a vibes-based moon :P

A hand holding a card with a cutout window. Inside the circular window are pink cosmo flowers on a green background. The flowers are painted on cotton with watercolors. The details of the flowers are embroidered on top. Written in black cursive on the lower right edge of the circle is "Happy birthday Amy!" A pen is hooked on the corner of the card. In the background of the photo is grass & a sidewalk

A stylistic acrylic painting on a square clear-primed canvas. In the middle of a simple maze made of white bricks is a flat black silhouette of a bust of a minotaur. The minotaur has simple white tattoos all over. Coming out of the minotaur's back is a sword. On the bricks of the maze is illegible graffiti in charcoal

Day 14 of #ArtAdventCalendar is the first painting I did when I decided to take up acrylic painting in 2020 (I was, and remain, nervous about my use of colour lol)

A little yellow orange mushroom growing out of bright green moss with some brickwork in the background. The kinda blurry focus makes it look a bit whimsical

A pen & ink drawing of a donkey laden down with bags and baskets of books. The drawing has no background and you can see the blue pencil sketch under the ink. In blue pencil, it says Burrobiblio in the lower right
