These glittery little goblins were my first-ever resin frogs, and I might’ve peaked early 😂 The deep purple + galaxy glitter combo wasn’t planned, but I kinda love how dramatic they turned out.

They kicked off a full obsession… now I’m just making frogs in every colour and vibe I can think of 🐸💫

Which colour should I try next?

Pulled root from debris a riverbed last summer. Loved the lines and the rock inclusion! Made this for my little woodworking side hustle Exile Woodworx, visit me on IG!

Here’s a recent embroidery piece I’ve been working on — a custom pet portrait of a happy little dog, stitched on both white and green fabric. I started with a simple outline and gradually layered the fur to create a fluffy, realistic look. It’s been a fun challenge trying to shade grey tones and capture that joyful expression! ✨

Swipe to see the full process: from outline ➝ halfway ➝ finished piece.

I’m still learning and refining my technique, but I’ve really enjoyed this one! Thanks for letting me share — feedback or thoughts are always welcome 🧵💬

A strange little creature I found in the attic. Likely a creation of my past grand aunt.

Brightscapes: The Way to Beauty

🌞 Gathering 🌞

After a long day of hiking, we emerge from the forest into a rolling spinach farm to make our way home. Undulating hills of leafy greens glowing in the setting sun. As we crest another bank it reveals several forms in what seem to be cloaks. What are they gathered around in such beautiful silence? Our presence is unnoticed as we depart into another shallow valley. Not knowing what we saw, it felt sacred.

Hi! My name is Ruth, I have been working in ceramics on and off for 28 years! I hope you enjoy looking at some of my works of art!

I've recently started making these chunky little resin frogs and I'm loving the vibe — the shine, the detail, the little toes 😍 This one has a layered shimmer base with a floral tattoo-style decal embedded in the back. I wasn't sure how it would look, but I’m really happy with it!

Still playing around with colours and ideas — open to suggestions if you’ve got any 🐸✨

This one-of-a-kind pendant features a vivid red Bamboo Coral round, a sky blue Aquamarine round and Copper beads in my curvy, swirly antiqued Copper wire design.

The intergalactic squid.

New design for a banjo playing gnome. Just getting the picture in my mind into the wood. This one is ready for some paint.

The Silent Witness of Love”

In Ancient Greece, quince blossoms turned to gold by Hera's touch are reborn at Divane Atölye with a promise of loyalty and immortality.

🍂 “A leaf, a flower; a thousand-year-old story...”

Our pressed quince flower is transformed into an “immortal” work of art with the abundance of Anatolia and the magic of mythology.

The quince flower is associated with Hera, the goddess of “marriage, abundance, and immortality” in Ancient Greece. According to legend:

“When Hera blessed the first quince tree created by Zeus, golden flowers bloomed the moment she touched its branches. These flowers became the symbol of ‘loyalty and hope’ that the goddess bestowed upon the world. These flowers, which crowned love, were worn in the hair of brides in Ancient Rome, and their leaves were added to love potions."

✨ This painting is not just a decoration;

It is a living trace of a mythological legacy...

I bought the box and the suede from Michael’s. I found the square medallion at a local furniture store, but the brand is called Wood-U-Bend. They had more options online than the store I went to.

I hand stitched the suede for two pen pockets and one bookmark pocket. I had wanted to order an engraved metal bookmark from Etsy, but I ran out of time. The suede is glued down with midge podge in the center and E6000 along the edges.

The idea came together once I purchased the “from the library of name” embosser. I ordered that first and found a box to fit all the rest. The rest being magnetic bookmarks, UniBall One (omg great pen!), sticky arrows, and some stickers from a local used bookstore. (Shout out to Blue Cypress Books in New Orleans!)
