Emily Jo Gibbs - Horse chestnut bag and purse in silk dupion with copper wire and silk satin.
Finally bought some dye and have been having so much fun with optical color mixing. I decided to start with cmyk primaries to get some vibrant color options.
So far I've only mixed up the main batch of colors, but I'll split them up and create a palatte of tints and shades once I have access to a scale again.
I don't have any fancy tools and have been blending the fiber by hand, so it's probably best I have a forced break for the sake of my fingers. Once I'm done I should have a very useful set of 57 2g swatches to play with! (Plus 5 more for a set of grayscale swatches)
If I'm still up for it, I might repeat the whole thing with my classic red, yellow, blue primary dye set. For a truly massive set of heather swatches.
I'll create a comprehensive guide to all the color mixes and my process once I'm done, but in the meantime here's a mixing guide for the colors I've already done!
The ratios are presented in the same order as the wool swatches in the photo above it. I didn't simplify any of the ratios so you'll have to deal with 2:2s instead of 1:1s, oops.
For anyone curious, I used brilliant yellow, deep magenta, and caribbean blue from Dharma dyes on their corriedale wool for my base colors.

I sews it
A rare commission for a colleague at work who both paid my asking price (bless her), and who shared that it was a gift for her friend who fully cried when she received it and carried it around in her arms all night the day she received it. Just so nice. (and I'm quite proud of the outcome)

Temari 🧶 Tradition
The Art of Sphere Geometry
A few years back a book hit the JoAnne Fabrics shelves that created a small flurry of sales in white cotton yarn, DMC floss, & silk thread.
Being a University town - the store's shoppers were a regularly replenished variety of ages, ethnicity, & cultures. Although a mere 5% of the student body had ethnic ties to Asis in general (with less than half of that percentage claiming Japan as family heritage) - this crafting art captured everyone. After all, it was the 90s & the rise of Anime & Manda made all things Japanese chic.
Temari are soft, layered, hand sewn, traditional, up-cycled balls decorated with geometric embroidery. This ancient art saw a resurgence in the middle 90s - especially in college towns.
The practice required very few tools, time, & a little patience. The payoff was the dopamine hit of buying yarns & threads required to build the base, followed by beautiful flosses, perle cottons, & silk for the final designs. Besides - who doesn't love a ball?
Especially ones this stunning.
Today there are many more books, websites, & video instruction dedicated to this remarkable fiber art. For anybody with a needle & an interest in geometry, this might be your new art project
By rotating the direction of the hemp leaf pattern, it creates a pattern resembling constellations or crystals.
Spun like threads connecting stars, this is the hemp-spun fabric, 麻紡- ASTER-.
Painted onto a denim-like chambray fabric, the design is then created using sashiko stitching.

I’ve been trying to figure out to best way to store my floss because I prefer floss drops to bobbins but floss drops are more difficult to store. One old binder (with zipper) lots of cutting and hole punching cardstock later and I’ve got a system that I think works! I’m using paper between layers to (hopefully) prevent tangles!
Each page holds 10 colors, and I’ve got 40 layers so it can store up to 400 colors right now!! Of course it remains to be seen if the binder is thick enough for that, but I can always search for a thicker binder if I ever get to that level.
I’d also like to get some thicker paper, or perhaps dividers to be a more sturdy option between the layers but for now old notebook paper is doing the job well enough.
4/16 of my yubinuki project
all four of these have the same stitches in the same place, but sewn in different orders.
switching it up for my next few, in technique and colour. here's #5:
I post more about this on Instagram!
a couple of friends who happen to be twins turn 30 and im making them a micro cross stitch of two vintage shirts of a local team they are huuuge fans of
these are the original shirts (link to blue, link to red)
the colors of the team are red and blue and i loved the idea of making them a sort of complementary situation in which each shirt is complete piece in and of itself but is also part of a two-piece composition, and i love the design of both of them
so i got to drawing, and these are the sketches i came up with, based on those shirts
there is something i enjoy so much about creating accurate objects on this particular way i have of approaching cross stitch designing, which is based around the smallest element and building something both simplified from the real object, but detailed enough to be recognizable using the same "smallest possible" principle around it
the constrictions lead me to making choices that make them efficient and visually readable, it is a very enjoyabe challenge
procreate has no way of putting a line through pixels, so this is a rough idea that i then polished on pc stitch
yall im SO happy with these designs holy shit!
ive already stitched a couple of rows from the top of the blue one, and im sure i'll have them ready for next friday when i hope ill be able to give it to them
bonus shot of the back because it is looking really neat so far
finished the first one! i think ill do one more for another friend who also had a birthday this week AND is also a fan of the team
two down, two to go because i keep adding jerseys to this project like i aint drowning in wips as it is
hand for scale!
Third shawl of the year! (I've posted about finishing this shawl before, this is just the finished object post so I can search for just photos of my finished objects.)
This is Hayley Tsang Heather's Peony – Pfingstrose Shawl. I made this shawl out of Fyberspates Gleem Lace in the colorway 733 Everglade, and used 896 6/0 Miyuki Rocailles in the color: transparent silver-lined dark gold (RR-4).
The Ravelry project page is here.
the background for february's monthly square is an analog version of google calendar because motherfucker did this month hit me like a truck with the amount of events and the need for planning all of them
background for february is done (analog google calendar because i had a lot of shit to plan for) and i already picked the fabric i want for march! late but ill get it done nevertheless
the three blocks look so good together I can't wait to see the whole tapestry finished 💌
tragically late for this project tbh barely finishing february just now, march is on its way although getting there verrrrry slowly, april is just a doodle atp and may just an idea but im confident that by june's end ill be able to catch up on these
quick recap: february as of right now
its missing some more beer bottles (i drank a lot that month lol), maybe some small embellishments with beads, and the biggest thing missing rn is the scales at the front
march:
big part of my month was working at a portable altars workshop with trans friends and organizations in a huge museum in my city, so i chose it as the base for all the other elements; as of right now it is missing several embroidered animals, mars and venus, and im thinking about adding clouds to the background, but i also want to add clouds to april and may ...... its been a. couple of "airy", dissociative months so it feels fitting but I don't like such a blatant motif repetition so idk we shall see
april is literally just a sketch atp lmfao
its meant to be a constellation of the things that kept me afloat that month, the spine being the houses of my friends, the outer limbs my hobbies and things i did for myself to feel better
ill try to take better pictures when these are finished the colors and textures are SO vibrant irl i wish i could just show you their real quality but alas!
