I am so close to finishing a project. So of course all I want to do is lay on the floor and play Animal Crossing. 😂🫠

The thing about art is you dont *need* to be good at it, you just need to do it and maybe hope it resonates with someone. The Ramones weren't virtuosos, Tom Waits sounds like a cement mixer rolling backwards down a hill and Bob Dylan is cursed with the voice of Bob Dylan. Art is not the SATs

Important update. The other cat has arrived for his turn.
A fluffy orange cat lays on a length of handwoven wool fabric. The cat has his belly exposed and looks so so fluffy and soft. The fabric is orange and grey and green and the cat looks great on it.

Caturday is finally upon us and my beautiful dipshits are as magnificent as always. And as helpful as always. 🥹
An orange cat sits on a folded piece of handwoven fabric that is getting ready to be cut. There is a filming camera in the foreground making it obvious that the cat has wandered into the shot. So helpful. Sew helpful. Good baby yes.

Helping.
An orange cat sits on a big length of handspun and handwoven fabric. A camera is in the background. I am clearly trying to film. She is an excellent baby.

Guess who has TWO HEDDLES and is now UNSTOPPABLE. It's me. I am mad with power.
A white person with brown hair holds two rigid heddles for a rigid heddle loom in their hands. The heddles frame their face in a V shape and the person looks extremely pleased with themselves and the weaving possibilities ahead.

An orange cat stands next to a pair of jeans and specifically next to a draw string from the waist band. She has clearly been chewing on the drawstring.

The image is of a person with a two tone brown bag that has tape layered to look like a waffle cookie. Two actual cookies are being pulled out of the bag. Yum!

Went to a draw club session here tonight. Always fun to draw with no agenda whatsoever!!
Pencil drawing of a maybe female character from the knees up. She has a long braid of hair flapping in the wind, and is holding onto a rope with both hands in a dynamic pose. It is giving sailor or pirate vibes. A yellow pencil is next to the drawing. And a mojito is party visible in the background.

Okay baby's first time using handspun as warp. Cross your fingers... This was the first fleece I ever processed from raw! Not perfect. But sentimental. I'm glad to finally be using it.
A rigid heddle loom sits on a table. 2 yards of warp is extended from the back beam but not yet wound on. The yarn is a natural oatmeal grey.

Tour de Fleece day 06 Plying time! Only tomorrow will be groundhog day because I want to tighten the twist so I'll be running it through my wheel again. 🫠🫠🫠 1/3 or so of it is a good angle. But I stopped counting my treadling and got lazy and paid the price...

Tour de Fleece day 4! Got a nice round of spinning in today and now I have two bobbins ready to ply! Now to decide if I ply tomorrow or if I spin more singles first and do all my plying of this fiber at one time... 🤔🤔🤔 I have enough bobbins to make it a reasonable question.
Two bobbins sit side by side upright on a wooden table. They are both filled with relatively thick single ply yarn from a brown Shetland fleece.

Tour de fleece day 03! Not all days are bangers. Got my spinning in but only barely. A day of much grumpiness, and wool is magical but there's only so much it can solve. 🤣 The bobbin is filling up though!
Close up of a spinning wheel bobbin. It is 2/3 full of brown Shetland wool singles.

Tour de Fleece day 2! Reporting in. :) I'm finding the roughly 50 grams I have portioned per day of this fiber is about right at the thicker grist that I'm spinning. I started a fresh bobbin today, and that's always soooo satisfying.
Top down photo of a bobbin on a spinning wheel. The wheel is a castle-style wheel, so the bobbin sits atop the drive wheel. The bobbin is about 1/3 full of a semi thickly spun brown wool, spun as singles.

First day of Tour de Fleece! Why yes, my spinning wheel did need to be oiled.
Top down photo of some piles of roving (brown Shetland wool), some spun skeins of white yarn, and a colorful roving braid. But the center of the image is an orange cat rubbing her face on the wool.

Heatwave is so real I'm leaning hard into ugly survival tactics. Hang in there everyone. Stay hydrated.
A kitchen, the focus is on some tall windows that don't have curtains or blinds because the Netherlands sometimes refuses to believe in them. Instead there is brown paper taped to the windows and a strip of white fabric to let in a little light.
There are some clean dishes on the left of the sink and some dirty ones on the right.
Even through the paper the sun is strong.

The other design I did for Artiss’ Pride collection 🏳️‍🌈
A digital piece of art showing instances of quietness in nature. Text reads:

Queerness in Nature:

Schizophyllum commune has over 20,000 sexes.

Around 31% of Laysan
Albatross couples on Oahu
Island consist of two females.

Clownfish can transition from male to female.

Around 10% of rams are gay.

Mourning geckos can reproduce asexually.

Most male walruses are bisexual.

Reminder that Klingons say TRANS RIGHTS BRING HONOR TO YOUR HOUSE
DS9 scene: Kor, a Klingon, greets Dax as Curzon. Dax corrects him as the host is now in Jadzia, a Trill female. Cor immediately responds, "Jadzia, my beloved old friend" without missing a beat. 

Right: Two tweets from 2019: "This Pride Month, never forget that Klingons had trans rights"; "No hostility, no confusion, no clumsy excuse-filled justification, just a quick self-correction and the exact same amount of love and respect before and after. Cis allies: Be like Kor."
