Autism Art Post: Over stimulation

Hi Dear Readers,

I have been doing what I call “autism art” and I have decided to share some of it here. This is art that is meant to express some of my autistic experiences.

Art Styles and Movements

Dear Readers,

Today’s blog is going to be a mixture of research and general rambling thoughts, all centred around art style and movements. This is something that has been on my mind a lot and something I want to explore further so I thought that I would take you on my journey with me.

VOD 1 Uwmei

I have been streaming my art live on Twitch lately and I decided to download and edit some of the VOD’s (saved copies of the live stream) down into art timelapses which are spedup. I will be posting them on my Youtube. Here if my first one.

In this video I dew my new avatar / faesona. Her name is Uwmei. In future videos you will see that I made an animated version of her as an overlay.

I hope that you enjoy.
Peace and love
Ellie

Happy Easter 2024

Digital Art Tools: Woes

Dear Readers,

I write to you today about my frustrations with my tools for digital art!

January Art Gallery

Here is a little round up of everything I painted in January.

AWOL again!

Sorry friends that I have been so quiet.

Over the Christmas period I started doing a lot more digital art and I even managed to get some of them licensed to be turned into Diamond Art Painting kits which is so exciting! (Don’t know what those are? I have a video here explaining Diamond Painting.)

I have still been knitting and crocheting but I now do them more like a hobby and I have been focusing on my art more like a job. I wasn’t sure what to share here but I guess I can keep sharing my arty endeavours with you too. How have you been during my little hiatus?

I have cast on a pair of socks for a friend and I have orders for another 3 pairs all from friends and family.

Have a Crafty Week,
Peace and Love
Ellie

P.s. You can find more of my art on Instagram as @diellataylorart or on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Elliementalist

Diamond Painting Video Review of Salty

Here are my thoughts on this custom from Huacan.

Have you used Huacan for custom Diamond Paintings before?

If a crafter crafts and does not post about it, did they craft at all?

The post is going to be a bit ironic as I have been quite prolifically on social media for the last 20 or so years!  

Just to clarify that this is not meant as a judgement or as an instruction. This post is more of a personal evaluation/exploration of the idea.

Hobby Neglect Guilt

Dear Readers,

In today’s post I want to discuss something that I have been experiencing a bit of at the moment, hobby neglect guilt.
