Scarf for a cousin, #3.
Because this was done with wool, I was able to felt the strands together every time I changed color.
Scarf for a cousin, #2.
A combo of synthetic and organic fiber, rather blasphemous.
Hello, it’s been a long time since I posted here, but I’m still alive!
A scarf made for a cousin, #1.
My boyfriend got me a rigid heddle loom for my 30th birthday. I’ve been working on my first piece. I think I started with the instructions for a scarf?? So this is probably going to be very long and I have no actual plan, I’m just getting a feel for things. It’ll be a surprise when I get to unroll the whole thing.
Doodled this in between seeing clients.
I’ve been in a weird place with my art lately. Feeling like there’s no point if it doesn’t “do” something, and then doubting the ability of art to “do” anything in the first place.
But it was cool to draw this and think “Man, if 10 year old me knew they’d be able to draw Sailor Moon this well, their head would explode.”

Experiment with making small squares and then weaving them together. MAJOR practice piece. May do more with this, may leave it as-is. Designs based on Paracas textiles.

Howdy! I’m still alive.
I’m fortunate, in that my day job is being done remotely, but it’s a very difficult change and I really don’t like it, so the stress has been getting to me. I was invited to be part of a really cool thing but it may have completely fallen through due to the stay at home order, I have no idea, so that kind of kneecapped my motivation, art-wise.
Hard copy version of my comics aren’t in my etsy store at the moment, as I’d been sneakily printing them on the printers at my office and I don’t have a printer at home. PDF versions are still up for sale.
At this time, I struggle to see the point of making art that doesn’t “do something.” Here are two tapestries I’ve made (I’m working on getting the edges even and reducing the amount of hour-glassing before I go totally nuts and invest in a rigid heddle loom) and some socks I darned for my boyfriend.
I always forget that contour drawing is, like, actually a good warm up.
I’m sorry for ever complaining about your Drawing I and Drawing II classes, Ms. Miller.
