Accidental art. This is the unintended art that happens when you’re a messy painter 😉 my table is covered in lining paper so it doesn’t matter what gets spilled or oversprayed. And these organic patterns grow out of nowhere over the weeks. Sometimes I cut bits out for future-me to use as collage bits or backgrounds or as ideas. Art is everywhere, folk! 🙏💕✨ #purpleandblue #accidentalart #serendipity #artiseverywhere #studiotimes #dropsheet

While my studio is too stuffy to work in and while my energy levels are all frazzled by the unexpected heat, I’m finding other ways to move color around. (*im not complaining!* I love that we’re having a real summer this year, but I’m not used to keeping up with normal life in temps 10 -15 degrees higher than usual!) I’ve been working on this wall hanging for a really long time. Years. I pick it up and add some more, then set it aside for weeks or months. It waits. I come back and add some more. These last couple of weeks I’ve spent my evenings curled up by the open door, enjoying the breeze, and stitching more bits and more doodles. #textileartist #wip #summerevenings #allthecolors #fabriccollage #fiberart #appliqueart #patchworkwallhanging #madebymixy

Back at the start of this month I had a burning desire to do the #icad2018 thing. I’ve got a bunch of old index cards wanting to be recycled into art and taking a new project on always lights me up. But at the start of this month I was also feeling a heaviness around the commitments I already had. Too many balls in the air already. ‘No more balls’ I told myself in all earnestness. ———————— I didn’t listen. I made these instead. I think there are 10 or so. And then I reached that critical mass of *too many damned balls* and I’ve struggled to create very much at all since then. And so it goes. I’m sitting it out, waiting for the momentum to return. ———————— #creativityistidal #theebbandtheflow #keepingonkeepingon #stilltryingtofigurethisout #artoutofnothing #indexcards

Look what arrived in the mail today! Just when I needed a new spark of inspiration, these #tinybookcollaboration books (which really are tiny!) arrived from @hopefitzgerald_art ... #watchthisspace 🤗

day 68 of #the100dayproject #100layersbyMixy In every layer it gets more cohesive, and more scattered. More together and more apart. Feeling quite lost in it all right now tbh. Reminding myself that’s part of the process,keep moving forward. Keep painting. —————————————— #morelayers #moredoodles #moreswirls #whiteacrylic #day68of100 #100dayproject2018 #100daysproject #100dayproject #100daycollective #100daysofpainting #abstractpainting #dailyprogress #allaboutlayers #dailyprogress #timelapsepainting #makingitupasigoalong #creativeprocess #creativepractice #intuitivepainting #intuitiveart #organicpainting #abstractart #madebymixy

This. This appeared in an email reminding me the 100 day project is 78 days in, just as I was about to post my day 68 update. I’ve been feeling this project (and a bunch of other stuff) is slipping through my fingers. I know I have crazy big ideas and I’m not always sympathetic to myself when I don’t do all I set out to achieve. So much to learn. —————————- #100daychallenge #stilllearning #stilltryingtofigurethisout #stillgoing #reallyslowly #itsallametaphor #keepingonkeepingon
