Millie Moth My colourful flower artwork is inspired by my wild garden and the joy I feel when I’m amongst flowers & foliage.

I work with 2 techniques - alcohol ink pens onto Yupo paper with splashes of isopropyl alcohol, or by creating layered digital collages.

🎨 Come and say hello if you’re in West Bridgford this weekend! I’ll be part of the trail along with loads of amazing artists all around the whole Lady Bay area.

🎨 I’ll be situated in a private house at 23 Lady Bay Rd. You’ll be able to see fellow artists/jeweller Rosie Rose and Helen Goodman in the host’s kitchen/diner, then it’s a short walk to the bottom of their beautiful garden to the ex stable building where you’ll find my colourful work. I’m hoping it will be nice and sunny and I can sit and demonstrate using alcohol inks just outside, inspired by the flowers around me! 🌺



🎨 Hope to see you there! 👋

🎨 Summer Meadow Alcohol Ink Workshop listings June-August are live and available to book on my website, and the relevant venue’s websites. This will be focussing on creating my signature splashy background on Yuo paper, along with pretty summer meadow flowers such as cornflowers, scabious and poppies. Maybe even a bee or two!

✨ There’s also a date in July for a brand new glass painting workshop, where you will create a splashy flower design onto a bottle with lights you can use in the garden on summer evenings, or inside on cosy nights in. More on this will be posted soon so watch this space!

🎨 Visit the workshop link in my bio to see all the listings and read more. Hope to see you there!

Ps sorry again about the annoying product link but Instagram just adds it back every time I delete it! 🤦🏻‍♀️

🌿 I’ve been having a play in the garden and ended up creating a kind of Chelsea Flower Show inspired installation! 😁 I’ve always loved making displays and this was great fun!

🌿 With advice from Tracy , I decided to turn turn this shady scrappy area of “lawn” into a no dig woodland bed. I’ve previously left it long and meadow like, surrounded by fern and woodland plant borders, but it’s never been terribly attractive and I don’t like mowing!! 😝 So I cut the grass short and laid lots of cardboard over it to stop the growth by blocking out the light. Then added loads of more or less rotted leaf mould from the top of my wild garden and bags of garden centre compost. I watered the cardboard well yesterday and will water it again soon (after my well earned glass of wine in the sunshine with the cats! 😎) I was looking round for things to weight it all down with and hit upon the idea of using lots of sticks, again from piles at the top of my garden. Then I remembered I’d be hoarding umpteen wooden stakes in the shed for years in case they come in. Which they never particularly did but took up loads of space! Same goes for silver birch branches I had in the garage. So onto the pile they went. Along with a pallet, general other odds n sods of wood. And then I thought, it needs a focal point. Let’s set a scene! So I used 2 wooden chairs which have seen better days but still look quite rustic, the old rescued chimenea and the previous years (or year b4 that…?) quirky display of old branches which I thought looked quite flame like. Then added shady plants in pots, an old rake and a disco ball! And last but not least, a cute old cupboard door which makes me think of an escape hatch, and my fab ammonite ornament.

🌿 I must say I love it, it makes me smile, and when everything has finally rotted down it can all be removed and planted up into a woodland bed. Dan gave a rye smile and raised an eyebrow so I’m taking that as a good sign 😁

Thanks too to who gave me the no dig bed idea a couple of years back when I did a joint workshop with her! Her flower beds are so beautiful 💐

🎨 Lovely atmosphere here as always 😎 We’ll be here until 2pm today!

🎨 A few photos and selfies - good and bad (hilarious out takes!) from last Sunday & Mon.

🎨 Fab to hang out with .art, although we were both so busy chatting to visitors all day we never had a chance for a catch up! Great to see the lovely too who was nearby and briefly her partner when he’d helped Gael setting up.

🎨 Thanks to for the photos (the good ones - not the bad outtakes! 😁) Good to meet you Nick!

🎨 And last but not least, thanks to everyone for such an amazing event and to all our wonderful visitors who make it all worthwhile ❤️

🎨 Talk about cutting it fine! My Belper Wild Bluebells piece is almost done to show tomorrow ! Just a few more tweaks and titivations for later today. You may have seen my on my story that another new design I’d ordered as a large canvas won’t be in on time for this weekend. Very disappointing but hey ho. So much to do and sort out for the art trails and summer workshops I don’t know whether I’m coming or going! 😆 One day I’m going to have a day off. So I keep promising myself anyway… 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m sure I’m not the only one.

🎨 I’ll be in the Strutts Centre, room 14, during the Belper Arts Trail with fabulous artist .art so do come and say hello to us if you’re around. I’m sure Strutts will be jam packed with amazing talent! I know another artist friend who will definitely be there so a quick shout out for lovely in room 18 with her beautiful wild flower cyanotypes, which I absolutely adore!

🎨Hope to see you there! Now I’d best get on as it’s set up day at Strutts later today! Eek!! Of course I’m almost ready!! 😜

💙 I came across this card design from 2021 the other day and thought how perfectly apt it was for now! Adorable lamb amidst pretty forget me not flowers. Gosh I do love springtime so much ☺️ I hope Annie won’t mind me announcing this but a little bird tells me this card and the rest of those animal designs may well be winging their way over to Tissington to be available for sale very soon… 🐑

🌿 Last Sunday I visited charity open day as part of the National Gardens Scheme. It was my first visit to this gorgeous wild garden based in Ambergate, although I’d heard lots about it from lovely owner Tracy, as she’s attended several of my alcohol ink workshops.

🌿 It was wonderful to see all the ducks, hens and goats we’d chatted about, as they enjoyed their idyllic surroundings on this sunny spring day. But the walks through the gardens was my favourite! Seeing all the pretty apple blossom, through the veg beds, and then down to the woodland walks to see the camassias, wild garlic and comphrey was a sight for tired eyes! I loved all the Yorkshire references and the quirky station and canal lock structures. Everywhere has hidden little seating areas where you can rest, sit and dream. I sat by “The Beach” just next to the river for a while and just soaked up the sounds and all the peaceful beauty.

🌿 There was even a tea and cakes tent, but as I’d been eating cake at my workshop that morning I thought I’d better give it a miss!

🌿 What a truly lovely day. If you’d like to visit this secret little gem, then visit page to see the next dates, which are in June and September if I remember rightly. I highly recommend it! Tracy and her husband Bill have a garden to be proud of ❤️
