    ALOHA! Artist Introduction

    Aloha!

    🌺 I’m Gemma ~ a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Hawaiʻi. ✊🏼 Kanaka ʻŌiwi

    🖤 My work explores dark naturalism, Hawaiian lore, and local flora & fauna through traditional and digital mediums. I also enjoy doing portraits of people, pets and plants.

    What you’ll see here:

    • Painting – acrylic & watercolors – one day I’ll be brave enough for oils
    • Drawing & Illustration
    • Ink Work, Fountain Pens & Calligraphy
    • ProCreate process videos
    • Bespoke Hand-embroidery projects
    • … and lots more!

    (p.s. I’m trying my best to add good ALT descriptors for accessibility reasons – still learning best practices while I’m new here in the Fediverse!)

    (p.p.s. I am slowly learning the following languages – let’s talk! : ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, Française)

    (p.p.p.s. I’m building a little thing here on my site because I’d like to eventually run away from Instagram and never look back🖤)

  • Hungry Kitty Zipper Pouch with Simple Hand Embroidery

    Hungry Kitty Zipper Pouch with Simple Hand Embroidery

    I am once again sewing kitty pouches! (I’m so happy I remembered my process.) Just like before, I’m using my custom Maneki Neko fabric to make this kawaii zipper pouch. I hand embroider a little face on it, then I sew it up with a full lining.

    Here’s my TikTok video where I turn out the lining, and then the pouch.

    Yes! I will be selling these soon on my site. The thing is… The ones in this post that I just made, are for an upcoming Bazaar. I hope I get over my anxieties and make it out for this!

    I also promised I’d make some for my friend’s Pet Shop like a year ago… So, you might find them there before they end up on this site. But, the response has been good so I’m fired up to make at least a handful more. I’ll probably design some NEW and EXCITING fabrics lol. Or make some deluxe versions with more serious embroidery, maybe some beads.

    When I put them up for sale on the site, my subscribers will be the first to know. Make sure to sign up below! Bonus: you can also read more of my random rants and musings.

    These hungry kitties want to eat up your secret stash and hold it for safe keeping. Zip it – Mum’s the word.
