Cat under quilt while I embroider

Embroidered eye on dye painted quilt

Scribble is so helpful. Embroidery continues. #artquilt #dyepainting #embroidery

Ceramic bowl with heads

Green swirls and black eyes in a mouth

Ceramic sculpture of a back ribcage

Finally some art of my own: a big bowl that turned out well, some embroidery in progress that’s really hard to see, and an insane ribcage. #ceramicsculpture #handbuilding #dyepainting #embroidery

Sewing sleeves on a quilt with a cat head in the background

Finished something. Plus cat on lap. Maybe coming down with something? Stabby holes in my finger from the damn needle. Yes I know about thimbles. Must be Spring Break. #artquilt #dyepainting #climatechange

Back of small beige dog, facing away, small tortoise shell cat facing towards the camera

Binding and sleeves on one (found stash fabric that worked), plus my post-dental-surgery view, furry butts always appreciated. #artquilt #dyepainting
