Some photos of another Midna plush I made. Had to try a few poses! ✨️

I forgot to measure her again, but she stands between 12"-13" to the top of her helmet. She's posable with wires inside, and her helmet is removable.

"Les Jardins de Nuit" (censored version) - Mixed media: colored pencils, pastels, ink, and gold leaf on paper. I created this artwork in 2020 for my book Forgotten Gods.

This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.

Some of the bleach burned thru the shirt bc this was my first time bleaching anything ever, but it kinda adds to it.

Absolutely forever ago a friend with a wood shop made me a wavy shuttle, and I haven't used it yet! I threaded up a simple scarf to see if I can make something fun!

Findings so far: tighter tension is better than loose. Yarn with a lot of color changes looks best as weft with a plain warp.

Pass the yarn, then change sheds, then beat with the wavy shuttle, then pass another pick and repeat.

Should be a one-day weave, just a somewhat short and narrow scarf. I'll see if the pattern remains when it's washed!

[lil-leviathan]

The scarf is off the loom!

Definitely some odd tension, the edges are so much looser than the center. The parts where the warp yarn is more exposed almost seem to bubble out. I will definitely wash this before making a final judgement.

[lil-leviathan]

Hm ok! Some of the waviness definitely vanished in the wash, but there still is some. I think more research must be done here.

Sometimes I dream up a swamp and sink into it.

The tadpoles know why.

Swamps are good for sinking, for unmaking,

which is to say,

for finding that vital trailhead,

down below the cattails and fairy shrimp,

that leads to my becoming

something new new new.

Found a huge hole in the sleeve of my ancient “it’s kinda cold in here but I don’t want to turn on the heating” jacket so I committed a crime against the fiber art community 😌
