A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of an winged frog with gold moth antenna and pink-purple insect wings sitting on a small grass island in a stream, with grassy stream banks and tree trunks in the background. The frog is facing left, and has a metallic green and gold body with metallic brown spots, and large shiny black eyes. A pink egg with white decorations is floating in the water front left. It is the Easter Frog Thing!

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a frog in metallic gold and green leaves, like an enameled Fabergé egg. The frog is facing right in profile, head pointed up. They have a gold collar with a pearl hanging from the front, and a deep blue-green jewel eye. Background sky is dark purple, with red ground. Reference: Anton Seder frog print.

A wicker basket filled with 30 knitted toy mice, all placed so their noses are up, looking at the viewer. The mice are multicoloured, some using variegated yarn, some with different patches of yarn knitted together. This is donation project, it will be going to the toy box of a group Ibelong to, to be given out to kids. The mice are safe for kids 3+ yrs old. The wicker basket is sitting on a table covered with a red tablecloth. A white piece of fabric is bottom right, which will cover the basket.

A photo of my non-studio craft storage table, where I’m supposed to keep markers, glue, and anything that is craft related that isn’t in my studio. There is a dollhouse on top, surrounded by bottles, boxes, paints, glue, and boxes in front of the 8 storage cubbies under the table. It is a mess, but I have anything I might need!

A photograph of a piece of an embroidery project that will become a 1600s embroidered women’s jacket, embroidered in black monochrome flowers with intricate fill patterns, and some gold embroidery.

A photo of a 14th century style woman’s heraldic dress, in black and yellow linen, quartered so that the front and back are black on one side and yellow on the other. The yellow side of the dress is stenciled with black curly stars (called etoiles), done in black fabric paint. The dress is old, but I repainted all the stars this past week.

But, I got my knitting finished!😊💜💜💜

The Book of Hearth Magic part 2 (WiP): a found object sculpture in a book of three shelves. Part 1 is on the left, has a translucent purple background, and the shelves are filled with small bottles of natural objects. Part 2 is on the right, and has a yellow-green translucent background with sprays of bronze metallic paint on the wood, but no bottles or objects yet. The sculpture is photographed with light from behind, to highlight the colours in the back.

A marker, ink, and paint pen cartoon on lined notebook paper, showing my OCs, The Watchers (two faceless robed beings with horns and dragon wings) standing back to back against a sky of stars, with a green eye centered above them and bony hands reaching out on either side. The page is laid out like an ad. Text above the drawing reads “Do you have problems? Why don’t you SUMMON THE MOUSE PROPHET?!”, with a red *note star at the end. Left Watcher is saying “We’re here for all your prophet needs!”, and right Watcher is saying “If it’s fixed, we can break it!”. A red 2 notation is at the end. Underneath the drawing is text, then all the notes: “Use Incantation #28 (page 70) for general help. (3) Use Incantation #276 (page 463) for special requests.

A photograph of 26 hand knitted mouse toys, all different colours, gathered together on a grey sofa with a green cushion in the background. The mice are all oriented so their noses are pointing at the photographer. They have knitted ears and braided yarn tails.

They wait. Soon their numbers will be complete.

(26 so far. I’m aiming for 30, but it’s for this weekend, so… 🤷🏻‍♀️)

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a round label with “Democracy Farms Anti-King Spray” written in Charles Rennie Macintosh style lettering around the yellow border. The picture in the center is a large spray can spraying white vapor at an orange frog, blowing the gold crown off his head. The can is blue with a red label, and “NO!” written on it in white. Underneath the round label small writing says “”Keep that ruler out of our cooler! Keep that crown out of our town!!”.

An ink sketch cartoon of my OCs The Watchers, interdimensional twin hooded robed creatures with no visible faces (it is entirely possible they don’t have faces, or even bodies, and are just sentient hooded robes). Their hoods have bumps like there are mouse ears underneath. They both have dragon wings and horns. The left Watcher is wearing a corset and a spiky vertical halo. They are considerably taller than the right Watcher, which is odd, because they are normally slightly shorter (The Watchers are variable in size, but the other one is always taller). Right Watcher’s hood is looking up at the left Watcher, and they are saying “You’re wearing platform heels under your robe, aren’t you?”. Left Watcher replies “Maybe.”. In this one, right Watcher is not wearing a corset, but it was a very quick sketch.

#postaday2026 #artsky #blueskyart #bskyart #sketches #thewatchers #mytummyhurts

It does. 🤒

This was the sketch that I did for the last Watcher drawing. The Watcher on stilts looks too serious. I fixed that.

A marker, ink, and paint pen cartoon of my OCs The Watchers, interdimensional twin hooded robed creatures with no visible faces (it is entirely possible they don’t have faces, or even bodies, and are just sentient hooded robes). Their hoods have bumps like there are mouse ears underneath. Their robes are tan, and both have red dragon wings and gold horns. The left Watcher is wearing a fancy black and red corset top and a purple spiky vertical halo. They are considerably taller than the right Watcher, which is odd, because they are normally slightly shorter (The Watchers are variable in size, but the other one is always taller). Right Watcher’s hood is looking up at the left Watcher, and they are saying “You’re wearing platform heels under your robe, aren’t you, short stack?” in a silver edged speech bubble. Left Watcher replies “Maybe.” in a gold edged speech bubble. Actually, the Left Watcher is wearing stilts. And a crinoline, because it’s pretty.

Actually, they are wearing stilts.

And a crinoline. ^^👁️💋👁️^^

A marker, ink, and paint pen cartoon of my OCs The Watchers (they’re twins, the one on the right is shorter than the other), standing side by side against a starry background with the Milky Way behind the right Watcher. Left Watcher is looking left, has their hand on their hip, and their hood looks annoyed. They have red dragon wings, gold horns and hands, are wearing a basic red corset, and holding a hooked fork weapon. They are saying “Just HAD to get the fancy corset, huh?”. Right Watcher is looking right, has one gold hand down in a model-like pose, and one hand at shoulder height, holding a spear with sharp hooks beneath the spear head. They also have gold horns and red dragon wings, but their red corset is brocade fabric, and has black straps and gold hooks in the front. Their waist is pulled in tight (they might not have a body, so the fact that the corset only has light boning doesn’t matter). They also have a shiny purple pointy halo headband. They are ignoring the other Watcher, and sing very loudly “I FEEL PRETTY, LA LA, LA-A!”. Someone did NOT spray paint their halo black! Very pretty!

Someone definitely doesn’t know the difference between a corset top and a corset. Nor do they care. 👁️💋👁️💜

(Sorry I haven’t done any #artshares, w/ the garden & trying to art, I’m exhausted & my throat hurts. 🫩)

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a round bottle label in blue, green and yellow, with copper lettering. The drawing in the center is of an anthropomorphic bullfrog sitting on a mossy stone in the middle of a pond, with bulrushes in the background against a yellow sky. The frog is yellow-green and brown, and is holding one leg against their body with both arms. One of the toes on that foot is bandaged with a pink ribbon. They look sad, with a huge pout on their face. Their other leg is under the water. Behind them to the left is a pair of eyes poking up, looking at the hurt bullfrog. There is a wide aqua blue border around the center drawing, with copper lettering that says “BULLFROG BLISTER BALM”, and a little motto on the left in black that says “soothe your harm with the Balm!”, and 2oz on the right. Bullfrog references: Anton Seder, Sam Stukel/USFWS (Wikipedia). Lettering reference: David Rakowski’s fonts ‘Reynolds Caps Regular’ and ‘Benjamin Regular’, free fonts.com.

“The Book of Hearth Magic” - A found object sculpture of natural materials put into corked glass bottles (some vintage) and rocks set into a 11.5x4 inch open front box (a repurposed storage container) with three shelves. The translucent textured back is painted with purple stained glass paint mixed with gloss, and the bamboo box sprayed with splashes of iridescent gold. The bottles are assorted sizes and shapes, most tubes, none larger than 2.25 inches. They are filled with ethically collected natural objects, including bone, feathers, lizard egg shells, insects, a small paper wasp nest, a hatched monarch butterfly chrysalis, a cicada wing, a pressed four leaf clover, and quartz rick. More quartz rocks are set on the shelves between the bottles. The box is photographed with light behind it, to show the purple light.

“The Book of Hearth Magic”, found object sculpture, 11.5x4”, purchased bottles (some vintage) and box, painted by me, and filled w/ natural objects found on our land (all ethically collected).

A colour photo of a purple-backed miniature 3-shelf box (about 14 inches high, 5 inches wide), standing upright on plain paper. To the lower right, a collection of corked glass bottles filled with nature finds from my garden/woods. A pair of tweezers in bottom left. Background is my floor, and the mat in front of the door to the deck. This will be a found object sculpture.

This… will be a found object sculpture. Soonish. The paint is drying.

A marker and ink cartoon WiP of my OCs The Watchers (they’re twins, the one on the right is shorter than the other), standing side by side against a blue background. Left Watcher is looking left, has their hand on their hip, and their hood looks annoyed. They have dragon wings, horns, are wearing a basic corset, and holding a hooked fork weapon. They are saying “Just HAD to get the fancy corset, huh?”. Right Watcher is looking right, has one hand down in a fancy pose, and one hand at shoulder height, holding a spear with sharp hooks. They also have horns and dragon wings, but their corset has straps and a fancy top, and their waist is pulled in very tight. They also have a pointy vertical halo. They are ignoring the other Watcher, and sing very loudly “I FEEL PRETTY, LA LA, LA-A”. Apparently the new dress code has some wiggle room. Unlike that corset.

Apparently the new dress code has some wiggle room.

…unlike that corset. 😁💜

An ink cartoon sketch of my OCs The Watchers (hooded robes with mouse ears, no visible faces, blah, blah, etc.). Two panels, stacked one on top of the other. Panel 1: Watcher 1 (the shorter one) is singing to themselves happily, feather wings behind them to the right, facing left, putting a vertical halo on their hood. Watcher 2 (not visible) What are you doing? Watcher 1: Accesorizing! Panel 2: Watcher 2 (the taller one) is looking to the right, at Watcher 1 (not visible), and is wearing devil horns, bat wings, and a black leather corset, holding a weapon that is vaguely similar to a mace (all written out, with arrows). Watcher 2: The Prophet wants to go with a different look. Watcher 1: Damn.

An ink sketch cartoon of my OCs The Watchers (hooded robes, mouse ear bumps, no faces). Two panels, stacked vertically. Panel 1: Watcher 1 (the shorter one) is standing facing 2/3 left, their feathered wings spread, their hood looking anxious. In their hands is clutched a headband-like halo with little spikes. Watcher 1: *whine* But I just got these wings looking good! Watcher 2 (not visible, left) *AHEM*. THE PROPHET IS GOING WITH A NEW LOOK. Panel 2: Watcher one is standing in the same position, but now they have devil horns, bat wings, and a corset, their hood looks resigned, they are now holding the halo low down. Watcher 1: FINE. …but I’m keeping the halo. Watcher 2 (not visible, left): SPRAY PAINT IT BLACK. Watcher 1 never gets to keep their wings. It’s a thing.

#postaday2026 #sketchbook #artsky #blueskyart #bskyart #thewatchers #silly #cartoons

This is how the idea shook out in my sketchbook. I like Watcher1 1 whining, but I think I prefer the surprise in the final.

OTOH, there’s a style to these hurried sketches that I also like. I share! 😊💜💜💜

A WiP marker, ink, and paint pen 2-panel cartoon of my OCs, The Watchers (hooded, robed creatures with no visible faces*, gold hands, and wings)(hoods have mouse ear-bumps; wings subject to change). Panel 1: Watcher 1 is holding a gold halo-like headband over their hood, about to put it on. They are also covered with multicolored glitter, and have yellow feathered wings. They are singing to themselves, when their twin, the other Watcher (who is to the left outside the picture) finds them. Conversation: W1 (singing): Mm-hm pretty, oh so mm-hmm… W2 (not visible): What are you doing? W1 (sparkly): AcCeSsOriZinG! W2 (flat): You didn’t get the memo. Panel 2: Watcher 2 is visible; they are facing right, talking to the other Watcher. The Watcher is wearing a red corset, holding a whip with multiple silver ropes, has red dragon wings on their back, and horns on their hood. Their hood looks serious. The non-visible Watcher (W1) is speaking first. W1: (questioning, then panic) Memo? AAAAAH!! What the hell are you wearing?! W2: (flat) New dress code. Lose the wings. W1: (annoyed at losing their wings again) Dammit! (W1 loves their pretty feathery wings.) (Muttering) I’m keeping the halo. Background is dark blue sky with stars, tan ground with shadows to the right of The Watchers. *(We’re not sure whether they HAVE faces; they could be sentient robes that have hands. Those sure are cute mouse ear bumps, though!)

An ink and marker WiP cartoon of my OCs, The Watchers, interdimensional beings in hooded mouse-eared robes with no visible faces*, wings, and gold hands. One Watcher is visible; they are facing right, talking to the other Watcher. The Watcher is wearing a red corset, holding a whip of some sort, and has red dragon wings on their back, and horns on their hood. Their hood looks serious. The non-visible Watcher (W1) is speaking; this is a continuation of the last cartoon, where the non-visible Watcher was putting on a spiky gold halo and multicoloured glitter, when this Watcher (W2) mentioned a new memo from their boss, The Mouse Prophet. W1: Memo? AAAAAH!! What the hell are you wearing?! W2: New dress code. Lose the wings. W1: Dammit! (W1 loves their pretty feathery wings.) I’m keeping the halo. Background is dark blue sky, tan ground. *(We’re not sure whether they HAVE faces; they could be sentient robes. Those sure are cute mouse ear bumps, though!)

This is only the base colour as of yet; I’m not rushing it. Also: killer migraine today. Oof.

So THAT’S what the memo was about! The taller Watcher is less ADHD than their twin. 🤣🤣💀💜

I wonder what’s coming! *manic giggle*

Um, so… yeah. Wind took out the power yesterday right as I was about to post.

Memo? What memo?

A paint pen and ink sketch cartoon of my OCs, The Watchers (faceless multidimensional beings who wear robes with mouse ear bumps and changing wings, who work for my OC The Mouse Prophet). The left Watcher has feathered wings, and is looking excited (hard without a face, but their hood is very emphatic), and is surrounded by floating metallic glitter in green, pink, purple, gold, and blue. They are saying “But, the glitter is biodegradable!”. The right Watcher’s hood looks extremely unimpressed, and is holding a cup of steaming hot coffee (The Mouse Prophet loves their coffee!). They have dragonfly wings held horizontally behind them. They are saying “The Prophet REALLY hates glitter. Says it doesn’t look omnipotent.”. (I don’t think The Prophet has a preference, as long as it doesn’t get on their robes. Glitter is absolute hell to get out of fabric, and the fabric gets mad if glitter gets in its eyes.)(The Prophet’s robes are sentient, and covered with eyes.)(This is a lot of background for a silly sketch, sorry!)

#postaday2026 #artsky #blueskyart #bskyart #art #TheWatchers #sketches

I’ve created lots of characters, but I have to admit, The Watchers are my faves. I need to do a character sheet.

One just LOVES glitter. The other cannot be persuaded.

A quick ink cartoon of my OCs The Watchers, two creatures in robes with mouse ear-bumps, no visible faces, gold hands, and wings of varying styles. The left Watcher has feather wings, the right Watcher has dragon/bat wings, and is holding a cup of coffee in front of them. The coffee has something in it, and has steam rising from the top. Left Watcher is saying “These wings are awesome; why can’t I keep them?!”. The right Watcher is replying “…Prophet keeps getting feathers in their coffee.”. To the right is a little rectangle, with the two Watchers drawn sideways, drawn very loosely, both Watchers looking angry, and the left Watcher yelling “YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS YOU GOT BAT WINGS.”.

A close-up of the inset cartoon in the Watchers coffee cartoon, sketched very fast. The left Watcher has barely sketched feather wings, and is yearling “YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS B/C YOU GOT BATWINGS.”. The right Watcher is silent, but has anger steam rising from their head. They also have dragon/bat wings.

An ink, marker, and paint pen cartoon of my OCs The Watchers, two mysterious interdimensional beings in beige/yellow hooded robes (they might BE hooded robes!) with mouse ear bumps, and gold hands and wings (usually). Their faces are never visible (they might not have faces! No one knows!), only black shadows. The drawing is 6x12 inches, vertical. There are two panels, a large one above, and a smaller one below. The drawing is titled “LA MORT DES AILES: Une Tragédie!”, which, translated from French is “The Death of Wings: A Tragedy!”. Underneath is written “Partie 1: quoi, moi, m’iniquiéter?” (Part 1: what, me worry?). Titles are black lettering on white, outlined with gold. The Watcher is posing, looking coyly over their shoulder, wings folded against their back, one hand up to their “face”, the other elegantly held out behind them at hip height. They are singing “I feel pretty, oh, so pretty…”. Their hands are gold, their feathered wings are yellow, gold, and orange. Ground is tan, background is dark blue with stars with a band of stars like the Milky Way. Panel 2 (underneath) is titled “Partie 2: Oh! Un coup de poignancy en plain cœur! Alors!” (Part 2: Oh! A stab in the heart! Oh dear!). Same colouring as the first title. Below, both Watchers are facing each other, the taller Watcher on the left, with red dragon/bat wings partially visible, the shorter Watcher on the right, yellow feathered wings folded. The left Watcher says “Um… how attached are you to the wings?”, and the shorter Watcher replies “They’re fused to my spine. Why?”. And the taller Watcher says “Damn.”. Background is dark blue with random stars. The shorter Watcher has the worst timing. To be continued…

A photocopy on art paper of a fashion plate from Harper’s Bazaar, 10/10/1898 (from Dover Publications), of a woman standing by a fireplace, wearing a tea gown coloured with marker and paint pen in bright red, fluorescent pink, fluoresce t blue, and black, with pink and blue flowers on the skirt. The woman is looking thoughtfully to the left, elbow on the mantel. Red hand-lettering upper right says “I CRAVE VIOLENCE.”. The same lettering lower right says “OR ARSON.” over orange marker flames coming out of the fireplace, with the small lampshades on top of the mantel on fire. The woman’s face is coloured in natural-ish colours, and she has upswept brown hair, with a fluorescent blue hair ornament.

Their faces are never visible (they might not have faces! No one knows!), only black shadows. The drawing is 6x12 inches, vertical. There are two panels, a large one above, and a smaller one below. The drawing is titled “LA MORT DES AILES: Une Tragédie!”, which, translated from French is “The Death of Wings: A Tragedy!”. Underneath is written “Partie 1: quoi, moi, m’iniquiéter?” (Part 1: what, me worry?). The Watcher is posing, looking coyly over their shoulder, wings folded against their back, one hand up to their “face”, the other elegantly held out behind them at hip height. They are singing “I feel pretty, oh, so pretty…”. Panel 2 (underneath) is titled “Partie 2: Oh! Un coup de poignancy en plain cœur! Alors!” (Part 2: Oh! A stab in the heart! Oh dear!). Below, both Watchers are facing each other, the taller Watcher on the left, with dragon/bat wings partially visible, the shorter Watcher on the right, feathered wings folded. The left Watcher says “Um… how attached are you to the wings?”, and the shorter Watcher replies “They’re fused to my spine. Why?”. And the taller Watcher says “Damn.”. All signs point to something terrible! Oh, Mouse Prophet, protect us with your bony, bony fingers!

[Terrible Google translation] French New Wave Surrealist theatre!

Little do they know the terrible fate that awaits them. They will smoke, & stare moodily out of windows. *giggles in Truffaut*

A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a red and pink frog sitting on a lily pad in a pond at sunset, legs splayed, rolling their eyes upwards. There are lily flowers floating on the pond and bullrushes at the left edge of the pond behind the frog, and the sky has orange and red clouds against a blue sky. The frog is sitting like a human, hand around one ankle, other arm resting on the other leg. They look slightly tired and annoyed. Mood.

Portrait of the artist being severely annoyed at being chronically unwell, as I got a migraine today.
Um, while being a frog. Totally a frog. A very annoyed frog.
