OK JUST REALIZED I NEVER SHARED The Red-wing Blackbird Inspired Wing Shawl I Crocheted Over The Summer

Fashionable Elden Ring hats

Some Fashionable Elden Ring hats made with the universally-loved MSPaint palette.

Terracotta zoomorphic askos, Greek, ca. 1725–1600 B.C.

Laundry cat.

Messed around with some jasperite terrazzo kits today to make coasters (unpolished yet). Some obvious faults in the make but it’s all quite satisfying and I have plenty of the mix + chips leftover hehe. >:3c

Witcher time!!!! (Let’s not talk about how I thought I’ll be actually good at it this time but so much time has passed that I fucking suck again lmao)

I enjoy needle felting A LOT. There's just something about stabbing things into shape that is very satisfying, and I think it's the closest fibre art to pottery in that I can just fuck around and find out, add a bit of stuff it things feel off etc. 😗

Anyway, I started this fella at a Stitch Festival last week. Not gonna lie, the little sewing machine was a major factor why I signed up. 😂 And the glasses!?

The workshop was a bit rushed but the instructions were pretty clear and I'm happy with the end result of course. : )

Whales (crochet and needle felted)

My flatmate requested a 'whale in a top hat'. I originally wanted to do something in trans flag colours but the light pink yarn I started with felt a bit meh... I already had an order coming with some Hobbii Universe, so I went to my local yarn shop to try and find something suitable for the belly and Schwedenrot sock in Over the Rainbow* seemed to more or less fit the bill.

I think the yarns go decently well together and again, I have more luck than reason in that they ended up being similar (very fine for me!) weight and I could sew them up without the wee guy being horrifically misshapen haha. Doesn't really read trans in the end due to more green-ish elements than blue tho...

As I finally gifted him around St Patrick's Day the 'top hat' (the top of which likes to pop up making it not look like a top hat...) element is green, so his name is Wally O'Whaley! 🐋🍀🏳️‍⚧️

The needle felted guy is really just a cleanup, I must have started him 4-5 years ago, probably from a kit? I like the shape of the fins a lot!

*the sock yarn came in a hank - I've never had one before and it was a FUCKIGN NIGHTMARE to unravel and get into a workable state. I'd say never again but I already bought another nice hand dyed hank at stitch fest so I will just continue suffering?? 🥲
