Day 11 of #artadventcalnedar This was my very first woven object. A small grey wool scarf made out of baby yarn. It’s very soft and warm. 2018. Rigid Heddle.

#ArtAdventCalendar #sashiko #embroidery The upper left is a traditional pattern, the rest are based on outlines of real leaves found in my neighborhood. All waiting to be incorporated into something else. Sashiko is very relaxing, especially if you do freestyle shapes. Day 9.

#artadventcalendar Day 9. I captured this special moment with a mother fox nursing two of her kits while on high alert this spring in southern Alberta.

Winter Foxtrot for day 9 #ArtAdventCalendar

I am exhausted but the small one is so happy and therefore it was so worth it. #sewing #byhandlondon #littlefloradress #spookyseason

Day 9 of #artadventcalendar is last years cute 4 shaft weaving sampler. I loved doing this. Should do some more.

Day 8 of #artadventcalendar soft pastels. I’m overdue to get back to making things in paper… meh. Early 2020s.

Day 7 of #artadventcalendar ! How about some pottery today? I love this little cup… the cat was created with layers of slip to build up the form. I’d like to try this technique again but with a slip made of the same clay as the cup, that should prevent the crack that happened during firing.

Day 7 #ArtAdventCalendar "Shield Wall" earrings in topaz, pearl and 24k gold keum boo hand gilding!

Sticking with me birds for Day 7 of #ArtAdventCalendar but they're taking on a different form...jewellery. With most of my illustrations at some point I will turn them into wearable art of some type, be it necklaces, earrings or the always popular pins! #BirdArt #SciArt #Procreate #Illustration

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 7 My favorite guitar and favorite guitar strap from traditionally tanned hide, made by someone unknown with so much love. Behind is a wooden cupboard made by my husband. Homegrown, 28x22, Oil on Gallery Canvas #albertaartist #canadianartist Sivarulrasa.com

Day 7 of #artadventcalendar. One of my favourite photos of my favourite comfy make. This green #crochet jumper has fallen apart but it was the snuggliest, warmest, fluffiest merino jumper to ever exist. Modelled by my little human who wants doing the best Kate Bush dance impression ever.

Day 6 of #artadventcalendar I’m not much of a beader but I made this little leather and carnelian bead bracelet and wore it until it fell apart. I really should make a new one.

Day 5 of #artadventcalendar is probably a weird one to others but this little bundle of yarn was my first attempt at spinning on a drop spindle. Definitely falls into an art yarn category. #handspun #dropspindle

Day 4 of #ArtAdventCalendar this is from a couple years ago. I do these textile things more as a form of drumming than trying to make art but I like the way the colours interact

#ArtAdventCalendar just saw this hash tag and hope it’s ok to join in. #BirdArt in needlefelt

For day 4 of #ArtAdventCalendar, please enjoy these lovely jellyfish. I painted them in a class from @caseformaking.bsky.social #watercolour #jellyfish #watercolor

My #fastenoffyarnong goes well. Simpler Sinister Sweater #knit with hand dyed yarn for the pink and yellow (held double) and a commercial teal yarn.

Panda hooded baby blanket. Cotton yarn 2017. #crochet Day 4 of #yarnadventcalendar

And back to textiles for day 3 of #artadventcalendar with this itty bitty bunny cap I made for my little while I was pregnant. #crochet 2017

Being in Australia it is actually day 2 of #artadventcalendar and I just stumbled on this blast from the past. This would have been done somewhere around 2000 when I was still in high school. Pen on paper.

And let's get December going! #ArtAdventCalendar Day 1 Nightwatch 22x44in 56x112cm Oil on Canvas 2023 #Art #Painting

I'm drawing every day but mostly for projects that are in progress so I'll probably use this year's #ArtAdventCalendar event to look back at my favorite drawings I did this year, starting with this one! I had the idea of the outline of a white cat against a garden and it slowly evolved into this.

Aurora borealis in northern California last month for Day 1 of #ArtAdventCalendar #scape

Day 1 for #artadventcalendar and I thought I’d start with a first for me. This was my very first attempt at crochet. I still have it and I wear it regularly. Unfortunately I have lost the pattern and have no idea what it was called. 2013 (I think) #crochet

Day 1 #ArtAdventCalendar • This is my very first #embroidery piece, a tone (2016), based off one of my poetic text/image pieces. #SciArt You can read about how and why I switched from performance-based work to fibre arts here: medium.com/the-operatin...

I’m really excited to share that I won the Frank R. Paul Award for Best Magazine Cover Art! My painting Stasis, a self-portrait about invisible illness, was featured on the cover of Uncanny Magazine Issue 58 🖤 #art #painting #portrait #illustration

I finished my socks!!!!! After 5 or 6 false starts I finally got there. These are adapted from Summer Lee’s Lavendar Sock pattern. Still need blocking by but super comfy merino silk blend. #handknitting #handknitsocks #finishedobject #knitting #toastytoes

Each time I have posted this video on other platforms the response has shown how useful people have found it. I teach face to face lessons in distaff spinning in the UK, but I know there are so many people, worldwide, interested in learning this technique and tutors are few. Hope this helps.

Never forget you are awesome just the way you are and you have mad knitting skills #knitsky

Time to sew my cat pyjamas! Yay!

I'm sorry what? I was born with these bay leaves and so help me god I'll die with these bay leaves

Hey look! I finally got the new brain cell scarf listed on Etsy! #sciart artologica.etsy.com/listing/4400... You should buy one : ) 🧠🧪

🏳️‍⚧️ It’s Trans Awareness Month. This is a time to listen, learn, and lift up trans voices. Trans people face growing barriers to healthcare, legal recognition & safety. Their stories are told about them, not with them. Media headlines debate their existence, politicians use their lives to win points

Today is Trans Parent Day - a day to celebrate both parents who are trans and parents of trans people. It’s also an opportunity for us to speak about the pride we feel for our loved ones. We’re a group of parents of trans children and adults who care about their future.

I don’t know about you, but 2025 has been a non-stop, emotional, cortisol-injected roller coaster. Who's ready for a gratitude-focused spinalong? 🙋🏻‍♀️ More details at thepeahenspod.com. #spinalong #spinningfiber #handspunyarn #peahennostressspinalong #gratitude #grateful #gratitudespinalong

Take a break from all the doomscrolling and ghastliness and look at my latest creation “Beautiful Mouse with a Stitchwort Garland” Maybe this one should be displayed against the skirting board? Available now for purchase should you require such a thing in your life? Painted on 23 C gold leaf

Is there anyone on Bsky who remembers this book? It's been out of print for a while, because it needs revising in the light of 5 more years of research & experience (including a proper translation of Umdat ul-Kuttab). Being unpaid work, I've simply not been able to prioritise this, so I've decided…

Here are some nice mushrooms

Exactly.

Week 9 of #sewandtell is purple and that’s not a colour I work with much so here’s the skirt pieces for a dress I’m working on tonight. A little Halloween magic for a precious little witch.

One colour and weave gamp. 8/2 cotton. Fresh off the loom and ready for washing. Next question is cotton, silk, or alpaca for scarves? #handwoven #loomwoven #weaving

Made use of a spare half hour to get into the actual weaving this afternoon. It’s a basic colour and weave gamp but so lovely to be back at the loom.
