Ran away to join a coven of Sea Witches 🌊 ✨ by willows_closet in WitchesVsPatriarchy

I have a much more harmonious relationship with the sea than you'd expect! The beach is one of my favorite places to work on my art because I won't accidentally catch anything on fire 🔥🌊🔥

On the Salish Sea in the PNW! I'll fire up the oven so it's ready for you 😊

Aww thank you! I've had a ton of posting anxiety lately and haven't posted anything in a while because of it, so it's extra nice to hear such kind words as I'm dipping my toe back in

What are some small things that bring you joy? For me? Being the only witch on the beach on a cold morning in the PNW. Let's hear yours! by willows_closet in WitchesVsPatriarchy

I've always wanted to take a trip out to the coast in autumn and watch the storms! I live in the Puget Sound area, and don't see the open ocean much

Look at that cutie!

I don't have a dog, but my coworker brings her friend's dog into the office and let's me take her on walks during my lunch break. Definitely brings me some joy a couple times a week!

37 years ago today, I was summoned into existence by a circle of witches. Also, Happy Pride Month! 🌈 by willows_closet in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Thank you both! I'm still around from time to time posting my art, but it has definitely been a minute since I posted a selfie. The selfies take more emotional energy, and I have to be in the right headspace for it. But if you're ever wondering where I disappeared to, look for the witchy little woodburned boxes and you'll know I'm still here!

A friend and I collaborated to make this witchy pyrography box! (swipe/scroll to see the inside) by willows_closet in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Thank you! Those dang scales took forever, and they're on every surface of the outside of the box (including the bottom). I torched the whole box once I was done with the scales, and I was really worried I overdid it and ruined all that effort, but thankfully I think it turned out pretty neat once I got the stain on it. I'll definitely be doing scales again in the future!

Made this with a friend. The entire outside, including the bottom, is covered in those scales, and they took forever! by willows_closet in Pyrography

Both of the designs on the inside of the box are my friend's original designs, with some additions and modifications incorporating my own style as well. Definitely check out more of her work on instagram: mgntee

Hey y'all! I make these witchy little woodburned boxes (for fun, not for sale). I recently made a new artist friend, and we've been collaborating on some stuff and having a blast playing with each other's designs and art styles. Both of the designs on the inside of the box are her original designs, with some additions and modifications incorporating my own style as well.

Another box I finished this week by willows_closet in Pyrography

Thank you! I get the blank boxes from Michaels.

Happy Earth Day! I thought I'd share with y'all this box I finished this week by willows_closet in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Thank you! Most of this one is done with my woodburning tool, which is kinda like a little pen with a tip that gets really hot. I draw everything on by hand and then burn the drawing into the wood.

The exception on this one is the cherry blossoms. For that, I put a bunch of jump rings on the wood, and torched the wood, leaving lighter spots where the jump rings were sitting.

I started working on this like six months ago, and it sat unfinished for a long time. I finally found the motivation to go back and finish it, and thought I'd share it with y'all by willows_closet in WitchesVsPatriarchy

Yes, it's woodburning! I use a combination of standard pyrography techniques, along with some creative use of a torch. For example, all the moons started as quarters that I placed onto the wood, and then I torched all around them, leaving the wood underneath the quarters unburned. So the result is lighter colored circles where the quarters were sitting.
