Current project is a linen warp: this scarf was woven as a commission, and uses the linen warp combined with lambswool and silk in the weft. #@seam_collective #septtextilelove #septtextilelove2021 #weaversofinstagram #handwoventextiles #textilesforinteriors #niche #handwovencushions #handwovenwallart #wallhangings #bespokescarves #textilesforlife #sustainablepractice #slowcraft #wearethemakers #contemporarycraft #warpandweft https://www.instagram.com/p/CTX4IMsIfGN/?utm_medium=tumblr

An autumnal batch of smudge sticks. Found a wee lemon balm growing in the garden somehow so this round smells extra good! 🌿🌼🌿 Not only do I get to go outside, I get to know the local plant life and create an solution to the overharvesting of sage. Big happy practice all around. #wildharvest #smudge #notsagesticks #sustainablepractice #fleabane #lemonbalm #bluespruce #russiansage #lambsear https://www.instagram.com/p/BpQWpxzlIA_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rt4gb64f5cd

Some quantitative stuff on where donated clothing ends up. Surprise surprise, we consume so much textile product that inevitably a lot (about 1.4 million tonnes in the US alone) goes to landfill from what is donated. Clothing is generally no longer made from quality materials or made to last, and we crave new things. But we're going to suffocate. And it makes me really sad to see things go to waste. It's this that makes me not want to make clothing anymore. What's the point? Making for the process of making... Donating is better than not donating (meaning, don't just throw it in a bin as your council may not send the rubbish to a place where it'll be sorted). Easier said than done with not buying new things. Buy better? (And then, what's better...) Bloody hell.
