Queer Folklore: The pink lotus Embroidery art: Antinous in the Garden of Eros. Poem: Antinous Asterion

Queer folklore is a series that explores the themes of queerness and homoeroticism in mythology, folklore and fairy tales as a source of inspiration for my creative work within the mediums of textile art, embroidery, fashion and poetry.

Three things I enjoy seeing in the morning:

My ballet barre by the sunlight

My plants growing

My cat's belly

Lady of light, send your wisdom before me to guide
Let it quicken and lighten my stride as I journey on
Lifting up high phial of your beloved starlight
When on perilous paths of the night
When all lights are gone

Sometimes a sewing project can get too messy and chaotic, and you might have the feeling that you don't know what you are doing.
So you just keep going, trusting your work in progress, doing what you know, and just wait to see the final piece.

The Appearances of hierarchy and why people use Fashion to feel special while being average.

This piece explores fashion as a symbol of overconsumption, superficiality, and the desire to maintain social appearances.

Museum photo of a full length black silk ball gown, with sequins throughout. It has a scoop neckline, sleeves cut straight to the mid-upper arm, and a circular trail of additional fabric at the hem. This extends about a foot to the rear.

Ball gown, France, 1898

Simple, timeless ball gown here. Super elegant, with the sequins (?) really lifting the black silk. A lovely dress, but I always worry about trails getting dirty and damaged!

After a bed bound weekend and missing the Equinox, I still enjoy the beauty of blooming things 🪷🌹

‘Whenever you need, once in a month, and better it be when the moon is full, you shall assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of Me who am the Queen of all Witcheries’

Found this on a package of something that I don't remember what it was…

I only know that it will make a beautiful button for an embroidered hemp bolero jacket.
