A pensive but cute tuxedo cat sits upper left behind a little wooden loom on an ivory flannel sheet on a bed. The loom has a bright pink and lavender thick wool scarf on it . The yarn has splashes of cobalt blue, lemon yellow and more. Splotchy color pattern. The tuxedo cat has white paws, white whiskers, a white chest with a little white goatee chin, and is otherwise black. Very symmetrical. Long haired, looking at the camera.

Dolphins racing alongside my whale watch tour boat, showing off their speed and skill. We passed multiple dolphin pods & saw two minke whales. I also take sunrise & sunset beach hikes, snorkel, explore tide pools & learn about Pacific Coast ecosystems. Art is resistance. Nature is my muse 🐬🐋🌀𓇼🌊🐚

A photo composite if me, a mixed Balkan person with a buzz cur, brown hair graying at the sides, glasses, smiling. My arms are outstretched. I’m wearing a red purple top made of five narrow fabric panels sewn together vertically. Yellow, orange, fuchsia, lilac weft yarns in spectrum stripes with periodic motifs like a lilac Venus of Willendorf on the right bottom front. Plum leggings. Concrete wall with water designs and part of a water poem attributed to St. Francis of Assisi.

A shawl width fabric rolling off a large floor loom onto a beige carpet. The fabric has a fuchsia and turquoise stripey effect created by hand dyed yarn combined with a complex zigzag twill pattern that trends vertically (long direction of fabric) and has a stair step angle to it of little triangles. On top sits a long haired tuxedo cat with a symmetrical white chest, white chin and whiskers. He looks pensive.

Please support Lisa Rayner Handwovens. It’s small but significant compared to my SSDI. When I’m not weaving, I might be exploring tide pools, walking on the beach, or lying down because I’m exhausted. It’s National Disability Pride Month. #Weaver, Business owner, LGBTQ+, hiker, disabled person 🌀𓇼🌊🐚
