#folkart — Public Fediverse posts

This started as a cheap winged cat statue tucked into the Halloween section at Michaels, the kind of thing you almost walk past. But I saw something in her and gave her a full repaint, glitter and all.

Now she sits on the shelf I keep for my cats who've passed. It feels right, honestly. Something a little magical watching over something so loved.

A group chat I'm in got started on the 'Sign painting, art or craft?' question today, and I linked to this article I wrote, which includes the quote below from Tony Lewery:

"Art is about the emotional response, craft is the practical handling of materials and techniques. Happily the two are so often involved and interdependent that this separation is quite unnecessary."

I bought several #artwork pieces from art students at the Ladysmith arts council garage sale, this past Sunday.
These are 4 of the wooden block paintings that I got. I will post more of the other paintings bought, soon.

Radio Prague International: More than 100 traditional Moravian folk shawls preserved in new digital collection . “Women in the South Moravian town of Lednice have created a new online collection documenting more than one hundred traditional woollen shawls known as vlňáky. Once a common part of winter folk costume in the Podluží region, these scarves survive today mostly in family collections.”

I'm carving a dalahäst, so it seems I've finally arrived in my gubbe era. Still a beginner but going for two ears with this one.

A dalahäst is a traditional carved wooden horse from Dalarna, Sweden. I bet you've seen them around, painted with flowers ;)

Hey! I'm tablet weaver from Finland. In this page I will post my on-going works, custom crafts and finished products. I also share little about my life in small cottage in the middle of Finnish forest and my perspective in world. Now the first thing I have to do is get inside this Mastodon.

Feel free to contact me. I am happy to sell my weaving items and I make custom work also.
