#fiber-art — Public Fediverse posts

Started this Dark Tower piece from the Witchy Stitcher Retreat.

The contrast on the black fabric is already making me happy.

Last year I found a bunch of interesting looking DPNs, which probably are antique.

Today I finally got around to measuring them - the later ones are about 2 mm, the thinner ones are 1.5 mm 😮

I decided to try the larger ones on my next sock project

They work great, even when they are a bit longer than I like my needles. Completely smooth, the sts just glide along.

Next Textile Talk (free, Zoom, May 6, 2pm Eastern): Jim Arendt--Denim and Persistence in Difficult Times, SAQA

Jim Arendt's practice is rooted in understanding how we relate to labor. His close proximity to the manufacturing and agrarian landscapes of America, as well as the dramatic shifts in both sectors of the economy during Jim's lifetime, has led him to pursue an understanding of America's people and craft.

Very spontaneously started the Copy Moon Joy pattern by ansitru . I'm still in awe of the #Artemis mission, saw this pattern and my whole body demanded this to be stitched! 😍🌕🚀

The Quechua women weavers of Peru's Sacred Valley are keeping traditional ways of life and art alive, and providing themselves and their families with financial stability with structural help from a cooperative. The women not only weave, but raise the alpacas, shear them, spin and dye the fibers into yarn.

I'm done!! 🥳 I so love how it turned out, despite hating the backstitching lol. Not sure yet how to hang it in my Wall yet, since I have a set of three of those kits and have to see what fits them best. I'll see.

I've been reading a new translation of Li Qingzhao's poetry by Wendy Chen, and in her poem 'A Cutting of Plum Blossoms' there's a mention of a 'brocade letter' by Su Hui and the reference piqued my curiosity.

Created by Su Hui in the 4th century her 'letter' was shuttle-woven on brocade and is an extraordinary palindrome poem(s) of 841 characters in a 29 x 29 grid that can be read in 2,848 ways. A stunning story in words and thread.

Next little in between project is a kit gifted to me by my bestie. You can already see what it will be 😍

Smaug gets a few more contours. And yes, I gave in and got me one of those square snap frames. It immediately improved my life by 100%🙈

I FINISHED PAGE ONE!! Appart from the missing floss, but pssshhh. That pattern is confetti hell 😵‍💫 I even invested in a markup app, something I usually never do, but I was getting so cross eyed looking for the stitches in the pattern. #PixelSmaug #crossStitch #xstitch #fiberart #smaug #tolkien @fiberarts erart

I continued on #PixelSmaug in the last couple days and I go nuts 🫠 it's just pure confetti!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! But at least I get closer to finishing page 1. Of 12 🥲 #CrossStitch #xstitch #embroidery #fiberart #tolkien #smaug #dragon

A happy Easter visit: Alisha and Chris of the Ohana Fiber Mill flew over from the Big Island, bearing a magical basket of #yarn. We all cheeped with excitement!

Inspired by her own garden and her visit to Monet's gardens at Giverny, textile artist Kathrin Marchenko created a large 110 x 280 centimeters thread painting, 'Nymphéas Beyond', in which water and plants seem to become one.

Finished the #pusheen!! Originally I wanted to add more than just the bow at the bottom but then everything I tried just looked too much and I left it at the bow.
And I absolutely can't keep the tension on the fabric even, it ended up so wonky haha 🙈

Не очень понятно, как всё это выглядит в реальности (слишком большие размеры).
