A Melinda handbag. The pattern is by SotakHandmade. The outer shell is blue canvas with red and white floral patches. The light pink on the left was naturally dyed by me! I used cochineal to achieve the color.

Naturally dyed the cotton on the left, using cochineal. I love natural dyeing but it’s time consuming so I don’t do it as often anymore. The outer shell is canvas, and my dyed cotton will be the lining. Any other natural dyers out there?! #sewsky #quiitsky #naturaldyers

Need to block a shawl I knitted using naturally dyed yarn that’s Ph sensitive: anyone have good recommendations on how to do this? 🧶 #shawlknitting #naturaldyers #yarn

Brown sleeve, knitted with black walnut-dyed yarn, draped across a desk with a small candle and an owl-shaped planter

Working on an Aquamarlite sweater—one of my favorite sweaters to knit—and I dyed the yarn using black walnuts. I love how humble, yet powerful, black walnut dye is! 🧶 #naturaldyers #knitting #sweaterknitting #blackwalnut

Hey folks! I'm posting my #artvsartist2024 (and also the previous 3 years) to give a bit of an idea of the kind of art-making I do.
