Alabaster asshole trying to do better than my ancestors. Unequivocally stands for human rights. Every letter of the queer alphabet belongs under my umbrella. If you're not indigenous, you come from immigrants.

Loves sharks.

Crafts are arts. Fight me.

Put this together yesterday. Used a wire frame and burlap strips from the dollar store. The rest of the items are bits and pieces from old and broken decor I had kicking around. #imadeit #craftsareart #art #crafts #halloween #diy #reducereuserecycle #wreath

Today's attempt.

No loom, braced it between chairs this time, instead of belt-to-chair like all previous attempts. Definitely made a difference tension-wise.

Took a tablet weaving workshop. Made the blue/cream at the workshop. The mostly red is my second attempt, where I realized tension was wonky and the weft was too thick. The third is the most recent attempt. The shifts in pattern was messing around with the cards.

This gem I made a few years ago. Not my original concept, it was an "oooh I could make that" and adjusted with different elements. I have since lost the original source.

On a cream background, the words "abracadabra!! nope, you're still a BITCH" are embroidered.
"Abracadabra" is orange, within a black rectangle. Underneath is a purple, black & grey feather. "nope, you're still a" is in purple. "BITCH" is in all caps, in purple, black & orange. Yellow stars are embroidered throughout the background.
