I'm Psy, a hobby artist and amateur naturalist from Switzerland. To craft with different materials is a big love of mine. My speciality are little mushroom lamps. But I also dare to draw dragons and animal people. Visit my place: www.psydrache.net

Next week you can find me at Eurofurence in Hamburg, Germany. At least you can try to find me - it's amazing how many people will attend! I try to get a place in the Artist Alley and sell some mushrooms and other crafted goods. I also bring something for the charity auction. Cya #eurofurence

Two mini mushrooms on a brown wood with some lichen. One mushroom is blue, the other green and the stems are white. The background is light gray.

The two mushrooms in the dark. They are glowing bright in their colors blue and green.

I WANT THAT! I wish I had a big garden, I would so use it for a nice pond x3 #frog #spitter #mushroom

A bronze figurine of two mushrooms and on one of them sits a frog. It's a spitter figurine for a well.

One of the larger mushroom lamps I built in 2022. The wood was naturally hollow on the underside, so there was plenty of room for the battery and all the wires. I installed a switch and finished everything off neatly. It’s now at my aunt’s house. #mushrooms #art #nature #forest #fungi #handmade

A light-colored piece of wood decorated with five mushrooms with white stems and amber-colored caps. There is naturally growing moss on the wood. The background is black.

The five mushrooms in complete darkness; only their caps glow with a bright, warm amber light.

As promised, here are more pictures of the wall hook I made. It's solid and really sturdy. Attached to the wall with a screw, it can hold even heavy clothes. Hmm, it almost looks like the fox is enjoying watching you get undressed >) If I don't forget I will bring him to EF! #furry #furryart

A sculpted fox bust in orange and white, mounted on a coat hook. The fox has a cartoonish appearance and a mischievous look. Side view.

Boop the snoot, says the fox. Sculpted something yesterday. More pictures will follow. #fox #furry #art #furryart #sculpture #handmade #handcrafted

A furry red fox bust I sculpted and painted. It looks like it is knowing your secrets :)

Habe ganz rasch mit dem Handy Fotos vom Balkon gemacht. Hoffentlich kann man was erkennen. Durch die zwei enorme Hitzewellen ist mir leider viel eingegangen oder wurde krank (Pilze). Es sind auch zu viele Töpfe, versuche immer mal was abzugeben. Fen freut sich dann immer, gibt Bewegungsfreiraum x3

Sorry folks, no new art from me - it's too hot and even with plenty of spare time I don't feel the spark of creating and crafting. I feel stressed from life and health issues. I wish I was stronger. So I offer you an older drawing showing my sona Psy. #art #smallartist #dragon #furry #furryart

Psy, a white anthropomorphic dragon, dressed in stylish streetwear and striking a slightly aggressive pose.

Older drawing from 2015 with acrylic markers. Back in time, I had to test every new media - especially when I was selling them in my shop I worked in ;) This drawing was a gift for my brother, but I didn't know that he dislikes orange so the drawing never got its proper place. #art #dragon

A drawing of a blue dragon on orange ground. It stands on four legs, curls its tail and is spreading its wing, but the canvas was too small to show the full stretched wing.

On my lush balcony, I try to be tolerant of the insect world, but when they get out of hand, I have to step in. I found this group of newly hatched bugs on my rose. Don't worry, I relocated them - I didn't kill them. #bugs #insects #nature #invertebrates #animals

A group of newly hatched bugs on a leaf. The bugs are orange and black, and the empty, round, white eggshells are also clearly visible.

Happy pride! A lamp I made a while ago, it's still looking for a new home. The casts of real mushrooms glow brightly in the dark. When turned on the mushrooms slowly change color because of color-changing LEDs. For sale: CHF 100.- I ship anywhere except the U.S. #mushrooms #forest #art #pride

Two whitish mushrooms (vanilla-colored caps, white stems) on a dark, rustic-looking piece of driftwood. The background is a soft green.

The mushroom caps glow in the dark on their own because they contain glow-in-the-dark powder. However, they must first be exposed to a light source—preferably sunlight—so that they glow as brightly as they do in the picture.

Color-changing LEDs were installed. The LEDs slowly and atmospherically change colors. In the picture, you can see the two mushrooms in the dark; only the mushroom caps glow in different colors—pink and light blue.

Shroomsmith@psydrache· Jun 6

A close up on a light-grey ground and by daylight. The lamp works with batteries, hidden under the circuit plate. No cable mess underneath! One of the lamps is flickering as if it's broken, but I just used a "candle Flash LED". It really looks like infected tech x3 #cyberpunk #mushrooms #art

The lamp on light-grey paper. Now you have a good look on the green circuit plate. The mushrooms are switched on and glow green. The stems of them are white.

Shroomsmith@psydrache· Jun 5

A special lamp that casts an eerie green light into the world. Made from old computer parts, this lamp is meant to represent cybercrime. Virus-infected computers and stuff like that. For sale! #mushrooms #steampunk #art #craft

Two whitish mushrooms growing out of a computer circuit board. The background is black.

A close-up of the two mushrooms, but in the dark. They glow green because they are lamps.

Dear friends, we captured a male European Badger with a wildlife cam behind the house of my parents! We have badger visits since years, but now we have a wonderful video of one of the visitors <3 #wildlife #nature #badger #urbanwildlife #trailcam #animal

Shroomsmith@psydrache· Jun 3

Sorry for my silence here, but I'm working on something unusual 👀

A computer board thing in the dark, only enlighted by green light. Two stems of something grow out of it. It looks eery, a bit matrix-like.

Shroomsmith@psydrache· May 9

Wow, I didn't expect that. But on the other hand it is realy big. I did some fake taxidermy once too, but not on that level x3 Except of teeth and eyes, everything was made by my hand.

A fake taxidermy wolf head. The ears are too short. It has a grey/black face with a white part around the snout. The eyes are yellow and the mouth is open so you can see the teeth and tongue.

A fake spottet hyena taxidermy head on a white wall. The mouth is open so you can see the teeth and tongue.

Looks like this <3

One of our corporate sponsors sent us some baseball caps, and I grabbed two right away. I still had some iron-on patches from @khaosdog.bsky.social and @avanii.bsky.social , so I used them to cover the logo. Was a bit tricky since the cap is rounded, but somehow it worked. #furry #reuse #upcycling

Two gray baseball caps on a brown wooden table. I ironed a patch onto each cap. On the right is a black-and-gray fox head, and on the left is a green fantasy fox with mushrooms growing out of it.

While I was looking for morels I stumbled over these parts of a lower fox jaw. Look at these nice fangs! #bones #fox #vultureculture #taxidermy

On a gray ground lay two pieces of a lower fox jaw. They are not intact, but almost every tooth is still sticking in the bone. The long fags/canini are very impressive.

Shroomsmith@psydrache· May 1

I went on my usual hike in the mountains near my parents' house today. I was mainly looking for wildflowers, but I also kept an eye out for morels. But I "only" found flowers x3 #wildflower #mountain #spring #nature #alps

They’re rare, but I know where they grow in the wild: gentians! My mother found them. Whenever possible, I go for a look every spring.
Blue gentian flowers in a fresh spring meadow.

After a short gondola ride and a roughly 40-minute hike, I was rewarded with a wonderful view of the Alps.

Yellow star-shaped spring flowers in a green meadow. They’re also called yellow stars here. The mountain flora is simply the most beautiful!

My big (it is really big, no joke) PC Tower covered with some noice stickers! There's not much space left anymore >] #sticker #furry #pctower

A silver colored PC tower covered in many furry and/or nerdy stickers. There's still a little empty spot left.

May I interest you in "Björk", a lovely lamp with USB cable, switch and casts of real mushrooms on a lovely birch wood? Even not switched on, the hats will glow in the dark. It needs a good home. CHF 160.- plus shipping. I can ship worlwide except USA #mushrooms #handmade #bsnm #nature

Three brown mushrooms with white stems arranged on a piece of Brikenhold. The background is a soft green.

The same three mushrooms, but this time in the dark. They glow warm brown in the darkness of the night.

Two of the three mushrooms that glow in the dark even not switched on. I mixed luminescent pigments into the mushrooms. So if they’ve been exposed to light, they’ll glow in the dark even without electricity.

Look at her, isn't she the cutest furball? <3 It's the Cat of my Boss and she likes to sleep on my desk or my lap. I bought her a cussion, because otherwise she would sleep on my papers. But can't be mad at her when she do anyways. #cat #pet #Büsi #officeanimal

A grey and white housecat sleeping on a round beige colored cussion on my table. She is curled up and looks warm, cute and cozy.

Still some snow on the mountains by my parents, but spring is near! And I wish that old shed would me mine xc #nature #alps #forest #mountains #snow #winter

A snowy scene, white meadows and a dark forest on a mountain slope. The sky is bright blue.

A rough winter mountain scene with lots of snow and trees.

An old shed enbedded between boulders and trees. In the background is a snowy slope with a fir tree forest. The sky is blue, it's a bright day. In front of the shed the snow is already melted.

A snowy path in the forest. While some snow is already gone due to warm sunlight, on the path itself is still enough snow.

Each year, there's a show of game trophies from my hometown. I totally forgot to make more pictures, I was too amazed of all the chamois, roe deer, red deer and ibex trophies the local hunters got. I almost drooled all over them x3 #ibex #taxidermy #nature #hunt #antlers

A wall with plenty of mounted ibex heads and red deer antlers.

Does anyone have a die-cutting mashine like a Sizzix at home and need new dies? I'm selling mine, never used and brand new. But it makes only sense when you live in Switzerland or Germany due to shipping costs. #sizzix

Six different die-cuts, for example, for the Sizzix machine. Mostly animals like fox, wolf, deer and some hearts.

Shroomsmith@psydrache· Mar 12

Sorry to hear, I hope it works well. Sometimes you need to get creative. In vacation we had to hang our undies on a string too in the hotel room ^^"

Shroomsmith@psydrache· Mar 12

Today was a sunny spring day and since I take a few days off I went to a nearby lake (or more a big pond). Said wetland is famous for white storks and plenty of water fowl. Sadly, the winter guests are already on their way back but the storks are also back from the south. #nature #birds #birding

On the left is a gray heron and on the right a white stork. You can clearly see the difference in size. Both are standing in the mowed reed grass looking for prey.

Older project of mine: glow in the dark tote bags. Hand painted, original artwork and one of a kind. And washable :) For sale! #Art #furry #fox #dragon #bsnm

Two cotton tote bags on a wooden ground. The left one has an orange fox head painted on it and the right one a green dragon head.

Same two bags but in the dark. The outlines of the heads glow bright yellow green.

Poket-Mushroom-Lamps in the making! #Art #mushrooms #fungi #Pilz #forest #mushroom

Four little handcrafted mushrooms glowing green and blue. They are sculpted on driftwood.

While organizing my craft supplies, I came across a fabric bag. "I could print on it", great idea! I also had lots of paper bags from food deliveries. Upcycling! Now I have some bags with my logo on them. Now I just need customers x3 #Art #dragon #upcycling #screenprint #print
