I'm obsessed with how this one catches the sunlight

Part 2 of my summer yubinuki project!

This little set are characterised by working in both directions! the first is a mirror image, but all the dark brown in the others is stitched to the left, and the others to the right.

Rescued this guy from the b&q bargain bin last year (tiny chip on his ear!) and promised an upgrade from the jute cord he came with!

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:

the shiiiinneeee, its so prettyyy!!!

tyyy!

I'm sorry, I'm going to infodump about them because I love them! the shine is because I use silk thread!

I'll try to illustrate this this because it's hard to explain, but ngl my photo taking is a bit sporadic so these are all from different projects!

so this is the base of them. a strip of card (if using as a thimble: measure around the middle of your middle finger) with a strip of BIAS CUT woven fabric wrapped around it.

then you need (a) padding and (b) to mark out a (usually even) number of segments. I'm doing 16ths at the moment, but 8 is probably the most common.

I've done a bunch of experimenting different ways of doing both of these, unsure on the best yet tbh! traditionally (a) is silk fibre

the first stitches, basically match up the lines in zigzag patterns. you can get an incredible amount of pattern out of sewing little zigzags. mine and all of these below are silk, but I've also used all sorts of thread, and even used 8/2 bamboo for a bracelet once

look at them.....

the colour..the geometry..

My summer project for myself is to make a collection of 16 of these embroidered thimble rings (called kaga yubinuki), these are my first 2 ^^

I never know how to take photos of long, thin things, especially when both sides are important! so. Snampler.

Trying out lots of different things on a double faced tablet weave!

I still get emails asking for patterns since I broke up with etsy a few years ago, and while I don't really want to get back into making patterns, I still like the ones I've made. So, I've put them all (16 of them) up on my ko-fi, for free.

This set of patterns includes some ~rare~ ones!

This wasn't on etsy for long - but it's one of my very favs.

and not just the return of the Avatar map (designed in 2012), but finally the updated version.

If it is fanart - Absolutely free (in the hopes they get to stay up). If not, it's free/pay what you want.
