My neighbor has a ginormous prickly pear cactus out in their yard and last year I was able to scrounge what was left on and make some syrup. But holy moly I feel like I hit the jackpot with this years harvest! I plan on making syrup AND dye this year. Wish me 🤞🏻💫✨ #pricklypearcactus #pricklypear

Got to see #melaniec last night with Stan on her sweat tour and it was everything I wanted it to be. And now(I like to believe) we’re intrinsically tied. The merch gal was so cute and gave me a crystal from the same family she gave to Melanie C and I’m taking that with me forever.

Well after reattaching my treadles and retying my warp I'm *finally* starting on my second project! Now knowing more about how my loom operates, i'm grateful I pushed myself to work on this loom despite how janky it feels. I'll need to do more in depth repairing at some point but it does the job ok!

I’ve been so far removed from the queer community that literally in the last 2-4 years I might know 1 or 2 people if I’m out in a social setting. I’m grateful I know anyone still! But at the same time it’s gotten to be isolating. Wishing I had queer folks in my life that are closer in age.

Making small progress on my kitchen towels! Had to take apart some of the warp so I could weave back in some loose yarn hanging off the side of my piece but I’m pretty excited to see how these turn out. Now if I could just master the selvages… #weaving #fiberarts #floorloom

Finally got some headway on these kitchen towels. I incorrectly made my warp thicker than what it was initially supposed to be which is why the color blocking looks off, but I’m just so happy I’m making progress. #weaving #weaversky #fibersky #fiberarts

Today I got a better feel of my loom and the process dressing it for the first time. Sure is reminding me how patient I have to be with it * and myself* 😅😭! I am however loving this color pallet and excited to incorporate some fuschia later on. 🥲💖 #weaving #warp #weaversofbsky #loom #fiberart
The very beginning of the kitchen towels I am weaving. The warp is a soft yellow/gold with a navy blue weft so far. Then I’ll be incorporating fuchsia along with the navy to give it more contrast.
