Getting glazed pottery out of the kiln is always a bit nerve wracking to me. Because a lot of the time I’ve spent a long time on a piece, with sculptural elements and little details, and there’s always a chance the glaze just…won’t work. But sometimes something comes out of the kiln looking exactly like I wanted. This tea set is one of those times.

Currently working on a foraged fibers project!! Collected some dead dogbane stalks that have gone through the winter and therefore have been retted by nature (and not me in my apartment lol)

Am in the process of braking them to release the fibers- they’re very soft! I’m experimenting with the most efficient way to do it, and wishing that I had some flax processing equipment instead of cranking the stalks one by one through my pasta roller. I might try to stick them in a trash bag and jump on them, since I don’t have an outside area to work in and I’d rather not do this in the parking lot

Bonus little guy I saw while foraging:

How many times can I stitch variations on colour wheels? At least a few more, anyway. My own design.

This is the second piece I've done that blends contrasting colours in blackwork, and I'm learning to trust the process. In both cases, it looked horribly messy while I was stitching, but then when it was finished and I could step back to look at it, I could finally see the gradient effect I was going for.

Finished my 1840s dress! The pattern is from Black Snail Patterns (but I changed the sleeves and the skirt is a split skirt). Luckily we had 6 years of fabric laying around waiting for me to use it

Packstone Excavation

2023, 51x44 inches, hand dyed cotton with textile discharge painting and cotton thread (hand quilted)

i was thinking about my fossil soup stones I collected in michigan last summer and naturally had to make a quilt. all the fossil shapes were hand painted with decolorant instead of appliqué as I was thinking about the process of excavation and removal.
