Because I’m pathologically incapable of sticking to one thing, my first weaving on my home floor loom!

Cursed on your father's side, doomed on your mother's.

IMAGE ID: A copic marker illustration of Maeglin of Gondolin, a Noldorin/Sindarin elf with pale skin, faintly curly dark brown/black hair and wearing a dark grey jacket with leather shoulder pads, a leather jacket, and leather strips around the sleeves. He stands on the city walls, in front of buildings, and forested mountains are visible behind the city. He faces forward but turns his head back towards the camera. He has a dark expression. END ID.

A WIP for my sewing class this semester.

You could call this Worm fanembroidery.

IMAGE ID: A photo of gold work and beetle wing embroidery on the back of a jacket. The gold wires form the shape of the Khepri symbol and the emblem is surrounded by a circle of Jewel beetle wings pointing out. The fabric is naturally dyed grey. END ID.

The White Lady.

IMAGE ID: A copic marker illustration of Írissë, an intense looking Noldorin nís with warm brown skin and dark brown hair up in a simple braid, from the waist up. Her dress is cream with golden sun embroidery, blue beads on the trim, and has a brown corset with similar blue beads. Over that, she wears a white coat with black embroidery of floral designs and two necklaces, one composed of several strings of golden beads and the other orange beads with a medallion with the emblem of the House of Fingolfin on it. She stands in front of a forest. END ID.

Visions of things to come.

Practicing drawing embroidery with some more Gondolindrim. Not completely settled on what style of clothes, let alone appearance beyond that. I've heard that Idril/Celebrindal is kind of underappreciated out here, which surprises me. IMAGE ID: A copic marker illustration of Idril, an Eldarin princess. She sits with her arms up in what could be viewed as a shrug gesture in front of a view of Gondolin at sunrise or sunset. She is Vanyarin and Noldorin, though her blonde hair is mostly concealed by the shawl she wears over her head. The shawl is pale blue with embroidery of the Trees on a large black border on the outside and dark blue on the inside. At the top of the shawl is a silver circle with the emblem of the House of the Wing and underneath that, she wears a crown of pearls with hamsas and blue tassles on each side. She also wears a series of bracelets of gold, silver, and white pearls on each arm. Underneath the shawl, she wears a pale grey robe with silver embroidery and a black shirt beneath that. END ID.

They're talking shit about you behind your back. Or, yeah, I'm still Smugbug trash.

IMAGE ID: A copic marker illustration of Tattletale and Skitter. Tattletale is a blonde girl wearing a purple and dark grey skintight costume, a black domino mask, and a yellow utility belt. She's turned to the camera with her face in profile. Skitter is a girl with curly dark hair and a nearly black green costume, with pale grey armored panels. Her mask is a darker grey and has lime lenses. They're half embracing, half dancing. They stand in front of a pale brown/purple shell of a building with bullet holes in it. A tree is visible behind them. END ID.

Wasn't sure if I'd ever finish Lord of the Rings, never even thought I'd start the Silmarillion, but here we are. Everyone's favorite problematic Gondolim resident.

IMAGE ID: A copic marker illustration of Maeglin, an elf with short curly black hair, pale skin, and grey-brown eyes. He wears a dark blue-purple grey tunic with green, red, and silver embroidery, a star shaped hair pin, earrings, pale off white pants, and leather boots. He has a cut on his forehead and a touch of blood at the corner of his mouth. He sits with his arms wrapped around himself, shielding his body, with one leg up and the other curled in. He sits on a red couch with golden embroidered flowers, in front of a marble wall with a circular window revealing a pale but stormy sky over green hills. END ID.

I’m Winter, and I do a couple of things! Right now, I’m in a weaving and embroidery kick (with a focus on Judaica, such as the challah covers bellow), but I’ve also been an illustrator for years. I also quilt and make dice! My finished work is available at my Etsy, https://winteringart.etsy.com!

Already getting started with my next project! I love this yarn, it’s handspun from Nor Easter Yarn! The texture is amazing and I love the color.

Just finished my latest weaving, another challah cover! Now up on my Etsy.

IMAGE ID: Three photographs of a woven challah cover. The first is a zoomed out picture of the entire piece, while the latter two are zoomed in to show the details of the weave. The challah cover is mostly symmetrical and has stripes of orange, dark blue, and green. END ID.

Hullo, I'm in this!

Another weaving done! Another challah (cover), another dollar. Reach out to me if you’re interested in buying this or commissioning one, I’d love to do more!

Well, it’s mostly done anyway. I still need to trim some ends and adjust whatever it is I’m doing with the tassels. But this was so much easier and faster even with a waaaay thinner yarn, so I’m very excited to get back to my complete stash. It was supposed to be twill, but I’m not sure I did it right— I realized too late you were supposed to offset it by one each row. I think it looks nice anyway.

IMAGE ID: A photograph of a rectangular weaving. The pattern is alternating thin green and white lines, which look slightly wave. The yarn is very thin. It’s sitting on a dark blue fabric background. END ID.

I wove a challah cover! This is my first time trying to weave anything circular, so the pomegranate is a little wonky, haha.

IMAGE ID: Two photos of a woven challah cover, one from the top and one from the bottom. The warp is slightly off white. There’s a solid orange image of a pomegranate in the middle of the same off white background, with two orange stripes framing it. END ID.

I know I haven’t posted art in ages, I’ve been busy working on an embroidery project and that takes a ~lot~ longer than illustration. But made sure to take some time to bring you guys yet another Tattletale.

IMAGE ID: A copic marker illustration of Lisa Wilbourn as Tattletale sitting in an office chair with her legs on the desk. One of her hands is in a peace sign, the other on the chair handle. She’s a blonde young woman with her hair braided, freckles, and a thin scar from the right corner of her lips down. Her costume is based on a military uniform but is purple with a black Tt on it instead of green. She’s in a room with pale grey walls, which has a red and yellow poster on her left and a pinboard with pictures of the Cauldron omega, Manton’s swan tattoo, the Endbringers, and Scion on it. END ID.

Our systems at work have been down all day and I'm literally twiddling my thumbs and getting paid for it, but it's getting boring now.

Everyone tell me cool weird facts / your current project / show me your pets!

Why not both? Here's my lovely cat on my latest embroidery project.

The front and back of my final project for my comics class this semester! Not super in love with how the actual comic turned out, I didn't finish it and it was super unclear to my classmates, but I did an adaptation of the first few chapters of The Darkest Minds by @alexandrabracken ! AKA, my favorite book ever. I'm pretty happy with these, at least. The color symbolism of Ruby being surrounded by green in front of an orange background and the Black Betty shot having a yellow and blue sky is very intentional.

IMAGE ID: Two copic marker illustrations. The first is of Ruby Elizabeth Daley sitting on a rock in front of a green forest and an orange-yellow sunset. She wears her camp uniform, which is depicted as a dress shirt with a green patch on the side, a tag with her number, and dark grey pants. She's a 16 year old Jewish girl with dark hair, pale brown skin, and some freckles. The second is of Black Betty, a black minivan with Betty's Cleaning Service written on it in white, sitting in the middle of a clearing in the forest, in front of mountains. The sun's just set behind the mountains. END ID.
