It is fabulous!

Chunky silver and stone pendant hangs on a chain in front of a dry-point print of a daisy on off white paper. The pendant features a slightly crescent-shaped piece of black stone suspended over an almost circular crescent of silver

Just finished today: a pendant remade from the components of a ring made by another artist (a friend of mine). I reused the original band, which is the crescent at the bottom, and added a bale. The meteorite stone was the centerpiece of the ring, now sits about the repurposed band.

I have noted your statement as not reading the room, being a little tone deaf and I will happily take responsibility for that :)

Oof. Read the room buddy. If downvotes were available on posts you'd be getting one

A drawing of three girls playing around an outdoor shower (which we had at our local pool) in bathing suits. One girl has her back to us, arms out at her sides, one has her arms raised and moth open as she struts around the pole, one is not very visible, but we see her arls out to her sides as though she is balancing

A drawing of kids playing wit ha garden hose. One child is very gestural and sprays the hose at another child in the foreground who has her hands up to her face as the water hits her

More drawings, these ones were ideas sketched up to potentially do further work with, memories of childhood playing with water

A drawing of a girl in a bathing suit standing in the rain catching raindrops in her mouth, which is wide open, face to the sky, eyes closed. the background is gestural blues, and the heavy rain is depicted running off her hands which are out to either side of her.

And me feeling a bit of shame, is really about me knowing I should alt text every time. I suppose I was thinking about how people can turn away and disengage when they feel ashamed, hence suggesting refraining it ☺️

I wasn't upset by your wanting people to use alt text, I actually agree with you. I was offering you a perspective on how you came across, and suggesting an alternative

I wonder about framing this differently? i.e. "Thanks to the people who post alt text for their images, it means I can share them with people in my vision impaired/disabled community." I guess reading your words I felt a bit like I was being shamed for forgetting sometimes.

Image of a silver and opal pendant, with insect and leaf themed design

A very early piece of jewellery work, reticulated silver cut-work design around an opal set in silver. The opal can be worn separately.

A costume design sketch of Greybig from the play Amadeus. He wears 18th Century inspired blue coat, wig, and breeches. He is holding a tea tray. The illustration is caricatured to emphasize his lean height and dour expression.

The (valid) point being made here aside, this caricature kinda looks a bit like Kevin Costner and I can't unsee it

A wide silver bangle with a geometric design created by soldering two layers of silver together, one with the design cut out and one flat

A silver bangle made for a friend. This is made by soldering a piece of silver with the design cut out to a flat piece of silver. Then it is shaped into a bangle

This is magical

I'll second that. lovely pics!

yes, and that way of using watercolour rather lends itself to it I think :)

love this, it's very moody

About me and my art. I trained in (or taught myself) printmaking, drawing and illustration, jewellery making, and textile arts (knitting, embroidery, weaving, braiding, sewing) and other things besides. I generally post my work in progress, some experimental things, or older pieces I like
