I saw this model by Gaetano Giulio Zumbo in Paris on Saturday. He was a wax modeller who worked with a surgeon in Genoa, replicating his dissections in wax. Only two of his models survive from the end of the 17thC. I’ve posted photos of the one in La Specola in Florence before - this is the other

It’s hard to post my fiber stuff sometimes because I’m so new to it! I’ll get a lot of learning done but I’ll see my doily and think “ehhh idk” This sounds like a habit to break

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

These little tools are apple scoops. They date from the 1800s and are made of sheep bone. They were common in apple-growing districts. The marrow has been hollowed out to allow the user to scrape off pieces of apple if they had few teeth and couldn’t afford dentures.

'Senescence' - my new aerial embroidery of a warm Autumn landscape. Moorland ponies dot the grass while a stream cuts through the scene. Now available along with a miniature of the same theme: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a...

one of these days I will have a weaving that’s actually done and something I want to post 😔

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once. And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on. Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights. Block, and move on. This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Hoping to weave a lot this weekend because I am tired 😔

Apropos of nothing...

'All paths lead to water' - my newest aerial embroidery, inspired by the grounds of Antony House, Cornwall! I loved the radiating paths through the trees leading to the water edge so here's my take on the landscape... with kayakers! Now available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/collection/a...

Reissuing this as a point of etiquette

politely influencing my lys with weaving propaganda and I think it’s succeeding

Made a small weaving pattern sample for myself with yarn from my LYS’s scrap bin c: Done on my little Funem frame loom 🧶 #weaving #craftsky

"The Tooth Worm as Hell's Demon,” 18th century. The two halves open up to reveal a scene about the infernal torments of a tooth worms which people believed caused cavities in the past. Complete with mini skulls, hellfire, and naked people wielding clubs.

Dryads so far

Chronic rinse and repeat #artsky #art #sketchbook #sketch

I think I’m at that point where I’m having a ton of fun weaving up samples, but I also want to start making things I can use I think I’ll try making some coasters?? I did separate my yarn stash between tapestry, textiles, and scraps though

Shop update at Monday at 11am Pacific! Handful of things, starting with this cuttlefish vessel. (Rest of update in 🧵)

Late summer #sketchbook #sketch #drawing #traditionalart #ink

Slow improvement!!! 🧶 #weaving #crafts #craftsky #rigidheddleloom

Additional question: am I tripping or is there a lot of clearance or second hand rug tufting equipment up for sale lately?? It looks cool, but I live in a one bedroom apartment and the living room is already a hybrid crafting space for my husband and I

someone near me is selling a 25” schacht flip for 350. is this a bargain if they only used it once
