Mixed-Media(1)
Mixed-media art is the playground where painting meets print, ink meets fabric, and just about anything can become part of the masterpiece. It’s a form that invites you to blend, layer, and experiment—combining paper, paint, textiles, found objects, and digital techniques until something surprising takes shape. While many celebrated artists have pushed boundaries with mixed-media, this creative realm is open to anyone—no rules, just possibilities.
Famous forms of mixed-media art include: • Collage (paper, fabric, or found objects) • Assemblage (3D constructions and sculpture) • Art journaling • Painting with added textures (sand, metal, fabric) • Digital and hybrid works
“Mixed-media” simply means combining two or more art materials or methods in a single piece. Whether you use pencil with photography, paint with fabric, or your own inventive mix, there’s no single way to define what this art should be—except yours.
This category is all about adventure over perfection. Here, you’ll find works that inspire, astonish, and sometimes take a gloriously wrong turn before arriving somewhere wonderful. Mixed-media celebrates both the breakthroughs and happy accidents, and invites every curious maker to add their voice (and materials) to the creative conversation.
Crochet(4)
Crochet is the quiet art of pulling loops through loops with nothing more than yarn, a hook, and a flick of the wrist. A humble tool, yes—but one capable of conjuring lace, warmth, sculpture, and story. Modern crochet, as we know it, blossomed in 19th-century Europe, its threads touched by the hands of lace-makers, innovators, and everyday makers. But its spirit is older—echoing tambour embroidery, shepherd’s knitting, and looped crafts from cultures around the world. Each stitch holds history. Each loop tethers us to hands and hearts that came before.
In this corner of the site, you won’t just find polished projects or picture-perfect patterns. You’ll find what happens between the stitches: wrong turns that became right endings, rows that taught patience, and pieces that unraveled beautifully before they came back together. These are posts spun not only to inspire and delight—but to honour the learning, the laughter, and the magic in mistakes.
Whether you’re crafting heirlooms or simply escaping into a skein and a moment, this space is yours. A celebration of process over perfection, where every post is a loop in progress—and every loop is part of a larger, unfolding story.
Knit(6)
Knitting is the gentle art of looping yarn together with needles—turning long, unassuming strands into warm scarves, little wonders, and big adventures. With roots stretching back over a thousand years, knitting has cloaked entire civilizations, from Egyptian socks to Shetland lace shawls. It’s part math, part magic: two stitches—a knit and a purl—dance together in countless patterns, from simple garter to sculptural cables.
In this category, expect a tapestry of tales: moments of delight, tangled mishaps, unravellings, and eureka discoveries. These posts are crafted to inspire, amaze, and celebrate not just the triumphs but also the lessons along the way. Sometimes you win, sometimes you drop a stitch, but there’s always something new waiting between the loops.
Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your sense of wonder. Every row is a fresh beginning, and every project an invitation to learn—and laugh—with me.
