For illustrator and fiber artist Tomoko Kubo, the Japanese lettering system sparked an ongoing series of embroideries that also function as playful linguistic learning tools.

@Herbivore Oh my gosh, I’m stunned to learn how this industry operates. Now I think back to the one handknitted Norwegian sweater my grand folks brought me age 12 from their travels there. I loved that sweater so much, with angora yarn knit into the yoke design. Never had something angora again but now what I know about this, I definitely will avoid it.

Something I’ve struggled with for a stupidly long time is #crocheting Caucasian characters. The #yarn I had was either too gray, too yellow, or too pink

. One of the #caron one pound beige yarns was finally the right color and I was able to move forward with the #commission! But it wasn’t as simple as finding the one apricot crayon

If anyone wants to make a Half-square Hilbert I made a toy to play with patterns. (fixed a bug from the first go)

I need fabric - so I plan to start maybe later this week.

Hilbert curve made from half-square triangles in blue and white. This one looks like there are rectangles with diamonds centered and framed in them.

Ein Langzeitprojekt fertig gestellt. Fasern sind im Kammzug selbst gefärbt, Vorbild waren Monets Seerosen in blau. Dann auf dem Spinnrad gesponnen und gezwirnt, und anschließend mit dem Gatterkammwebrahmen gewebt.

Gibt es hier andere Handspinner und -weber?

pimped my grey luggage with some patches. some of these were iron-on and some were sticker based. hope they last the trip!

// luggage material was a sleek synthetic fabric. carry-on size, not checking in btw.

A wheeled suitcase with various colorful stickers and patches, displaying the word "ALOHA" and images like flowers and rainbows, is placed on an airport moving walkway. The modern, spacious terminal is visible in the background.

Creating keeps me sane and provides peace.

Background of a oak rolltop desk, and on the chair of said desk is draped a scarf. The scarf is hand woven and created with varying width blocks of three colors, orange blue and red. It is bright and cheerful.

please send me links to pass along!

On a white background lies a craft in the form of a koala. To the left of it lies a ruler, by which you can see the size of the craft. About 12 centimeters.

Is it cake? Not quite.

Made with embroidery and polymer clay, Heather Rios's layered slices are deliciously deceptive.

Hello!
This koala with her baby is made using nettle #needlefelting .
I think this #miniature composition could be a cute decoration for a bookshelf.
Have a nice day everyone!

Top view on white background.
Miniature interior toy, made from nettle fibers by dry felting, in the form of a koala with a baby. An adult koala sits on a eucalyptus branch and holds a branch with one paw and eats leaves. The baby clings to the mother koala's back with all paws, its head is turned to the side. Next to the product lie miniature felted eucalyptus leaves that seem to have fallen, and smooth labradorite stones lie chaotically around as a decorative element.
Thank you for your attention!

I do believe I'm in love with the wheat stitch lol. Voilà

!

And now there's once again a headband in the works because it turns out that the color changes in this yarn are too long to show all of them in one piece. Therefore, two it is

. Anyone care to guess which colorway I'm using

#FullMoonArt for this month is a cross stitch of my favorite tarot card, the Hermit.

Credit goes to the Pixel Tarot deck, by SENGIA, for the design. I added a few touches, like Pamela Coleman-Smith’s signature sigil, to make it look more like the original card.

An 8 by 10 inch cross stitch in a black frame. It features an old man with a gray beard, wearing a long, flowing blue robe with a hood. In his left hand he holds a staff, and in his right he holds up a lantern with a flame inside to illuminate his way through a gray, snowy landscape. There is a white border around the edge and the roman numeral 9 at the top that make it look like a classic tarot card.

There was some hail this morning, so I thought I'd take a picture of one of my nearly finished lights in my moss garden, dusted with hail, to show you. I might add some red stitches to this to support the red lights here, as they are a bit sparse. Those are made after Trichia decipiens (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichia_decipiens).
