Autumn Skye Morrison grew up traveling and getting inspired by the majestic landscapes and rich nature of North America. Ever since she could hold a pencil, she has been expressing her fondness for the natural world through her paintings.

Autumn is a self-taught artist who has dedicated herself exploring the art and created her own unique style. Her artwork is a beautiful combination of "realism, iconic imagery, profound symbolism, and subtle geometries.' The paintings often feature animals, women figures and symbols painted in acrylics that seem to illuminate the canvas.

“Each Canvas Takes Me On A Journey, And As My Paintbrush Follows, Each Time I Am Led Back To My Centre. I Believe That The Role Of The Artist Is Especially Crucial At This Challenging And Exciting Time. While The World Is At The Precipice Of Momentous Change, Artworks Have The Potential To Be Maps, And These Maps Can Help Guide Humanity Forward Into New And Positive Ways Of Seeing And Being. Through Creativity We Have The Opportunity To Transmute Shadow And Pain Into Visions Of Healing And Wholeness."

She now lives in Canada, teaching and showing her work all over the globe. Her paintings have gained her a world wide recognition and attracted fine art collectors. You can find her originals, art prints, tapestries, cards, stickers and clothing in her online store - Autumn Skye Art.

Gorgeous Flora and Fauna Inspired Embroidery Kits by Jenny Blair













Lately, I have been interested in working with thread and needle. A little hand-embroidered detail on, for example, a t-shirt can completely change the look and feel of that clothing article. I think if you are a beginner then a diy kit will be an immense help to get you started. 

Jenny Blair is a UK based artist who creates contemporary embroidery kits inspired by nature and the local beauty of the little rural Scottish town where she lives. She makes embroidery kits in several sizes that come with hand screen printed design on fabric, color and illustrated stitch guide, instructions, a needle and threads.

Her diy kits offer variety of designs including birds, animals, flora, geometric patterns and seasonal designs. "Love wins" featuring owls and flowers in pretty colors is my favorite! There is enough time for you to hand make a gift for someone special in your life this Valentine's day. You can get started on one of the above shown designs or find the one you like in her online store.
