A little look into our workshop! We collect all our washup water and eventually get these really neat sedimentary paint rocks! 🌈🌈 🌈

Hi friends, in yesterday’s stream, I painted abstract flowers on a postcard that will be my entry for their Art Mail campaign. I picked up my postcard set from - you can get yours at participating stores if you’re interested in putting your art out into the world. I’m excited to see my postcard travel to the UK and be part of an exhibit.

Replay of my stream is up on my channels…see pinned comment. My next stream is Mon Jun 1st at 9am PT. Everyone’s welcome - come hang and chat 🫶🏽

cyanotype + Beam Paints + Oliver!

I made a set of Ollie-themed cyanotype negatives so I could fill his face with wildflowers and keep his adorable irregular stripe and snip markings. Tinted with watercolours for some extra pizazz (and because you can never have too much sparkle✨️).

Oliver was a lovely model despite the flies trying to eat him this afternoon. Swipe to the end for our best outtake shot!

Beautiful!🥰❤️🍓🍓🍓✨ Calm in chaos

Remaining calm and centered in the mist of chaos whether it be from my mind or from external situations is something I’m proud I have learned . When we look deeper in ourselves we can discover so much . I do this through meditation, miigwetch

Imperfects! Til they run out! Our beautiful watercolors, in pairs mix and match a whole new palette 🌈🌈🌈

Imperfects are back! While supply lasts! No tariffs on US orders! As we make wonderful paints in our workshop sometimes the unexpected strikes and we make mistakes, like a double of the same color, a “wrong” color or accidentally splashed when were watering our shop plants (it’s worth it for a giant monstera and a hibiscus tree!) this is a mystery pack and a great starter to try our colors if you’re not fussy!

This time we have mystery paintstone duos! Each set includes a pair of randomly selected paintstones from our overstock of core colors, accidental one-off batches, limited edition shades, or stones with minor label wrinkles. They are random from over 80 colors so it will be a good chance of a wide range of colors but it’s still random!
