Around table with a black and gold embroidered tablecloth, upon which is a small cabinet made up to look like a Victorian sitting room with tiny books in a Tony bookshelf. There are also some time paintings hanging adjacent to it, and to the right is an upright display holding fiber art pieces of assorted media

A shelf with a purple cloth, upon which is a jewelery display folded out to feature many hand painted or embroidered necklaces. On the right is a round table covered in a black and gold embroidered tablecloth, upon which are assorted pieces of small art. There is a mannequin head Without a Face wearing a sparkly headpiece

I've popped up at first friday, again! I'm selling all of my tiny books and tiny art! Also, some Cosmic Eggs. ( the tiny LED fairy lights are not showing well in this picture...)

In an ornate gold colored oval shaped picture frame is a watercolor painting with swirls and clouds of different colors interspersed with tiny white dots of background stars.

I painted another nebula!

I'll have it in my Fine Art for Ants gallery at First Friday, tomorrow!

An enhanced photo from a deep-space telescope, of an orange swirling nebula with an almost sky-blue background haze. Shining through it are thousands of points of light from distant stars and galaxies. In the center are three larger and very bright stars, with six refraction lines bursting out of each one.

A very basic swirl of felted wool roving, with shades of blue in the background, and a swirl of orange from around 1:00-3:00 and 4:00 to 8:00, with a white swirl at the center of that.

Starting a new needle felting project!

This is about an hour or so of work - so there's obviously a lot more to go.

Once I get all the felting done, I will add the stars and galaxies with embroidery and glass beads.

A small painting depicting a field of chunky ice under a starry twilight sky. In the background are some silhouetted mountains

An expanse of chunks of ice that have broken, rubbed against one another, and fused back together, so there are softened edges as well as deep cracks between the pieces. It kind of looks like a flagstone floor. In the far distance, along the horizon, is the land on the other side of Sandusky Bay. The sky is blue, but with some light purple clouds coming in from the direction of the horizon.

On a brown paper packaging envelope sits a small wooden box stained with a rich dark brown color. A paintbrush just under 2 cm wide sits to the left of it. At the 11:00 position is a pickle jar with dark brown Walnut ink in it. At the 1:00 position is another balsa wood box with a lighter coat of the same stain on it.

I stained one of those Dollar Store balsa wood boxes with my homemade walnut ink, and I have to say, it looks pretty good!

In a small square balsa wood tray covered in gold tissue paper, a diorama depicting the Tarot card The Hanged Man. The background is an elaborate floral pattern from a Victorian era wallpaper design, and in the foreground are some cut-outs of flowers: some from a Klimt painting postcard, and another from a different Victorian wallpaper design. There are some cut-outs of birch trunks in assorted spots. In the back left corner is a rather thick forked branch that, in scale, looks like a stout tree with a sturdy limb sticking out toward the 2:00 position. A green ribbon with many leaves coming off of it is wound around the branch and up and around the inside of the tray. Dangling from one end that is wrapped around the diagonal limb of the "tree" is the eponymous man, dangling upside-down by one leg. His left leg is bent so that his ankle lies across his right thigh, and his arms are bent with his hands resting behind his neck. He looks rather relaxed, to be honest. There is a yellow "halo" emanating from his head.

Today's tarot card diorama - with background and snippets of William Morris wallpaper patterns, some birch trunks and flowers from Klimt postcards, some leafy ribbon, and a real tree! (;

In a square balsa wood tray is a diorama of the tarot card The Moon. The tray itself is covered in black tissue paper, and there is a vintage photo of the Moon pasted in the very back. It takes up almost the entire inside. The two watchtowers on either side are cut out and perched on some three-dimensional Hills made from crushed up gold tissue paper. The two dogs that are banging at the Moon in the foreground, red on the left and yellow on the right, are also mounted on three-dimensional Hills made of crushed up gold tissue paper. At the very center in the front is a Red Lobster looking like it is jumping out of the water and shouting yay!

This one is also not finished, but I had to point out how the dog on the right side kind of looks like Pikachu. And I couldn't leave out the celebrating lobster.

In a small square tray turned on its side, a diorama of the tarot card the fool has been set up using ephemera cutouts of old astronomical illustrations, origami paper with Japanese wave patterns, and some paper with a design reminiscent of a Klimt painting. The fool himself is cut out from a shiny golden Tarot picture (not a consecrated deck, fear not!), and the little creature at his feet has been replaced with a cutout of a neko good luck cat. The exterior of the box has been covered in a floral line drawing design tissue paper.

It's not by any means finished, yet, but my latest arts and crafts project is a Foolish little diorama.
