Has anyone who makes digital art tried the True Grit Texture Supply RizzCraft system? I love the look of Risograph and I wanna try it, but the price tag is a little high for a set I may end up hating?

When love of weaving collides with love of insects 🐜✨ I’ve been so fascinated by ants with really unique morphology and I wanted to interact with them artistically. I design a pixel image for each ant and then weave them into a teeny tiny overshot band 😊
A woven band featuring small ornate images of four different ant species. The background is white and the ants are woven in brown. The band is being woven on a homemade loom with an oak leaf motif.

I made a quick little pouch out of my woven ant bands! I designed 8 pixel charts of different ant species for this project, sized so that each band would be the same length. I chose species with, in my opinion, some of the coolest morphology- especially love the big heads 🐜 #weaving #sewing #ants

Another crotch seam repair, this one done by hand. The fabric had unraveled along the seam and created a hole, so I placed a black fabric patch underneath and reinforced with running stitches- aiming for subtlety! #mending

When it comes to boycotting, just a thought. It’s okay if you can’t quit a company cold turkey. In Master Gardeners, when we encourage people to switch to native plants, the goal is 70% native, not 100%. If you were shopping at a store 80% of the time and cut it back to 60%, that 20% still hurts.

Doing some visible mending lately. I finally sorted out all the socks that have holes in my drawer and made a small pile of socks that are worth the time to save. Luckily @wipgenerator.bsky.social recommended an excellent maker a while back who has an absolutely beautiful book on mending.

"It effectively transfers the labor costs, skimped on by the brand, onto the buyer." Such an enlightening take on fast fashion clothing being produced to maximize profit at the cost of longevity and durability. I forever love @bernadettebanner.bsky.social videos. I always learn something new.

About halfway thru my @mellyknits.bsky.social Breeze batt. 80% CVM x Corriedale 20% Cotton. I have no earthly idea what this yarn will look or feel like at the end. But the process is fascinating. This is my "non-wool" and "new to me" fiber for Spindle Bingo. #handspun #spindle #3dprint #fiberart

I’ve been working full time and thus not creating a lot these days, but here’s a throwback from the employee art show at our cafe last year- I got to hang up a collection of my weaving tools! I think my favorite are the ones with the Batrachoceps slender salamanders 💕 #weaving #sciart
8 handmade wooden rigid heddles hang on a wall, they are all decorated with nature themed wood burning. Bands hang from them to show how they are used.

🔴CALLING ALL ARTISTS🔴 Christie's NYC is planning an AI art auction expected to bring in over $600,000 to creators who've used models trained on copyrighted material from non-consenting artists. If you object to this, please sign and share this open letter. openletter.earth/cancel-the-c...
8 February 2025
Cancel the Christie's AI Art Auction

Nicole Sales Giles & Sebastian Sanchez

Christie’s, New York

Dear Nicole and Sebastian,

We are writing to express serious concern over your upcoming auction of AI art at Christie’s.

Many of the artworks you plan to auction were created using AI models that are known to be trained on copyrighted work without a license. These models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them.

Your support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivizes AI companies’ mass theft of human artists’ work.

We ask that, if you have any respect for human artists, you cancel the auction.

Yours sincerely,

The undersigned artists

a glow in the dark cross arm spindle is loaded with natural Shetland wool blended with colorful.merino. the spindle is being held by the fingertips of a white skinned hand. the background is blurred, but we can make out a bit of a red side table, a basket of top whorl spindles, and a basket of wool.
