rough skinned newt!! recently leigh n i found a local creek that’s PACKED with them since it’s their spawning season and i’m obsessed with em rn

little handwoven bookmark done. :> natural-colored handspun shetland wool and avocado-dyed commercial wool (that clay colored yarn), with yellow linen warp thread

she keeps trying to lay on them like they’re her eggs

wool liker

closeup of the yarns being used - there are four colors of handspun shetland wool (two grays, a brown, and a black), and a commercial-spun weaving yarn dyed a pinkish clay color. the slightly darker gray is actually dyed with black hollyhock but it came out so pale that i feel like it’s not worth mentioning lmao. the wool was originally cream and it was supposed to come out a DARK blue-gray

a lopsided uneven heddle cut out of cardboard <3

neck has been too messed up to carve so i’m weaving a little bookmark today. using natural-colored handspun and plant-dyed yarn (the clay color is avocado pits & peels) and i carved that wooden needle from driftwood. cut a sloppy little heddle out of cardboard to make swapping sheds faster!

I have chronic pain related to working, mostly in my arms/wrists & neck, so I can only carve for a short while daily, usually abt an hour on good days. If i’m already sore I don’t work that day. I work at a drafting table to be more upright & use a silicone mat so stop the block from slipping around

Ergonomics!! I have a cork attached to my most used tool so i can change my grip on it often while carving - alternating between a pen-like grip and more traditional block-carving grip. Also using a very soft medium like the pink speedball rubber makes a big difference for reducing fatigue

every time i see these fuckers at it like this i get so jealous. it’s got to feel amazing to crunch straight through wood like that. and i bet cambium tastes amazing

Leak caused part of my ceiling to collapse and I don't have a working shower, I'm on my period, my tetanus shot caused an allergic reaction, I injured my wrist, and I'm broke.

poppies prints hanging on a line with clothespins

little test for watercolor hand-tinted prints is nice but I rly think i’d enjoy the color more with a colored print ink, maybe dark sepia.. so i’ll save that for another edition in the future! this batch will stay black & white
