Chat I drew this and immediately got covid.
trying a more scribbly style this time.
Superb fairywren time! I've been trying to do some lower resolution pixel drawings because they seem a bit more achievable to cross stitch. The smaller canvas size is more challenging to work with but I think this one came out as a good candidate for a cross stitch project.
This Just In: Zombie Rides Ghost Horse Across the Roof of Hell for Millions of Blocks Fueled Purely by Spite!
Arcane more like I'm insane
I got some lovely fiber for my birthday. Natural brown alpaca (left) and dyed merino (right).
The singles, spun on the wheel.
Both of these fibers were gifts from different friends so I plied them together for the ultimate friendship yarn :3
My dive into fiber arts continues with my first real sewing project. A pencil case as a much needed storage place for my crochet hooks. Entirely hand sewn because I didn't feel like getting the sewing machine out. It is so very rewarding to use My Own Hands to make a Thing that has Function.
I followed this tutorial. A good beginner sewing project imo.
Some more jellyfish. Little ones this time. Pattern is my own.
Just finished my very first cross stitch! It was from a beginner cross stitch kit my dad bought me. In future I'd like to make patterns from my own pixel art but this was a good starting point. What do you think I should do with it now?
I'm on a pixel art high! Here's a numbat.
Little witch house I made a while ago on my friend's server. Complete with cozy interior ✨
Finally got the hang of supported spindling and now I'm addicted!
Some silly little guys I made as Christmas gifts.
I used this pattern as a base, but added my own modifications.
Second attempt at tablet weaving. Actually managed to thread the cards right this time!
Pattern from here
50/50 blend of dog fur and merino I spun for a friend of a friend. The blend was much easier to spin than pure dog fur (very short and slippery), though still a decent challenge. Never have I ever had a yarn so adamant about being spun short backward draw.
Some jellyfish I made after my friend gave me some squiggled up yarn from a project she unraveled and tasked me to make something out of it. I had fun with these. I named them Electric Pudding and Red Velvet :3
Pattern is my own.
Some of my earlier crochets that I was quite proud of at the time. I got my start in crochet making individual granny squares off youtube tutorials to familiarize myself with the various stitches/techniques.
Not sure exactly which tutorials I used for these but if you look up "sunburst granny square" and "willow square" on youtube you'll find plenty of videos.
Some lovely alpaca wool which was an absolute dream to spin. Grey is 100% alpaca and multicoloured is 50/50 alpaca and merino, and also my first attempt at blending wool :3
Some of my earlier handspun yarn (merino left and corriedale right). Done on a diy drop spindle.
Some rainbow dyed merino I spun up real nice and fine a couple months back. It was a little too late for pride month but still a fun spin nonetheless.
First attempt at tablet weaving! I must have threaded the cards wrong because this is not the pattern I was going for but honestly?? I think I like this better.
Some plain ordinary common merino I spun. Despite being the VanillaTM fiber I found it a joy to work with.
is this enough?
Attempting Australian inspired landscape design in Minecraft. I'm pretty happy with the block palette for the ground. The darker areas represent areas of higher organic matter which accumulates with vegetation. And lots of flowers!!! Inspired by my trip to the mallee during wildflower season. Every flower choice corresponds to a real life species (though not necessarily from the same location)
