This'll probably be a fan account for all of the awful animals in my life. If you're all very nice I'll share my projects too

'You'll choke too' - I wanted to reshare my wildfire aerial embroidery now summer is finally over as it really meant a lot to me. Autumn is here but as the fruit ripened much earlier than normal, I worry the little birds and animals won't have enough for the winter...

New personal painting. Inspired by the scene in Fantasia that I feel like I’ve built my entire art style and personality around.

'Rose Hill garden' - I was in the mood to embroider another geometric garden and went with summer roses for this one. Colourful and bright! The hoop is stuffed with shaped felt to create a gentle slope to the tree ring in the centre :) available here: victoriaroserichards.co.uk/work/rose-ga... #art

modesty laws prevented showing even one lousy frame of John Waters' PINK FLAMINGOS (1972) in the trailer, so the only footage in it is of people reacting to a screening they just came out of. every single type of extant queer person is contained in the specific sequences I have selected here

great news- this giant decorative board covered in nuts and cones and seeds that my grandma made by herself with materials she collected, arranging and gluing them over several winters, and which has been at my cousin's house, has been deemed "too scratchy" and is coming to my house
i can't describe it more clearly. it's a giant board covered in nuts

It’s set in the 13th century Low Countries. A baker who witnesses miraculous visions meets a boy only she can see. Her closest friend is found murdered the same day the rood cross bleeds at Mass. The miracle draws her into a web of pilgrims and politics as the boy puts her on the killer’s trail. 🐝

If I’m not a 3D printer then why do my instructions look like this?
A very complicated knitting pattern.

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

Yep. Part of the reason garment construction is outsourced is due to labour costs. Skilling American workers to do basics won't be cost effective. I'm a tailor as my side hustle. If I were to make whole garments at scale, basic white t-shirts would start at $70 each.

I started making impermanent earth art with fallen leaves, flowers, and other natural elements in 2020, after finding Morning Altars by Day Schildkret on various socials. I made this a few months later, when a friend died of breast cancer. It's one of my favorites that I've made so far.
Illawarra flame tree flowers and stalks (red), pine sticks and cones, eucalyptus leaves, plumbago flowers and some yellow leaves and red berries unknown to me, arranged in a vaguely circular memorial altar for my friend Jen Mallory, founder of Living LFS, who died of metastatic breast cancer October 5, 2020. She was 44.

Hello everyone! This is my first post on here after abandoning X at long last. I'm looking forward to finding a new creative community on here :) I'm sharing my favourite aerial embroidery landscape I've ever done for my first post here - 'A peaceful place (somewhere out there)' 💚

Linen pants I’ve been workin on for a few months now finally done! I’m really happy with the fit/tailoring. Self-lined to a couple inches above the knee, inside out pic cause I’m proud of the seam finishing. Pockets/waist are cotton twill. They were wicked comfortable to wear to work. #craftsky

The fly is a little wonky due to making small mistakes in layout then kinda making it work rather than re doing, but only apparent with this inside out viewThe same inside out brown linen pants from behind, showing off the Hong Kong center seam finishing with pink ribbon and the well-supported appliqué finished pocket bags for the rear welt pockets

norse and old english were mutually intelligible languages. movies and TV portray them as if these people couldn't communicate easily, but norse grammarians at the time talked about the anglo-saxons speaking a dialect of norse. here's two norse & old english scholars demonstrating

The Abbey church in caboolture has an incredible collection of stained glass windows assembled from preserved fragments of windows from Winchester cathedral shattered during the reformation. Anyway this piece is my favourite

Hello bluesky people! Have a look at the tiny monster my Mum recently adopted
A tiny fluffy puppy sleeping under my elbow. My hand is resting on an older sleeping puppy, blissfully unaware of the chaos awaiting once tiny awakesTiny fluffy puppy on her back with the softest pink belly adorned with little brown spots. She is enjoying a moment of tranquility as she chews on my poor fingers with her tiny baby hypodermic teeth. A chew toy lies next to her, neglectedA tiny baby fluffy white puppy with the softest spotty belly and littlest teddy bear feet wiggles in anguish as her favourite chew toy (my fingers) have been briefly taken from her. You question why such an innocent creature who has never done anything wrong must suffer so
