Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 16/10/2026Picked this up on a whim in a charity shop last week and now I need the rest because is it so good! An astute meditation on the space we do and don’t take up in the world. 150 5
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 07/10/2026Me looking at all my projects that need finishing! 040 4
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 22/09/2026I originally planted this in the wrong part of the garden and had to transfer it to a pot and place it in a sunnier part of the garden because I forget how short Scottish summers are but the dahlia finally bloomed, and honestly this colour is so lush! 🧡 🌱 061 6
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 12/09/2026Yesterday went to Dovecot to see the Costume Couture: 60 years of Cosprop exhibit which was exquisite but also popped up to the balcony to view the Elizabeth Blackadder and the angy orange cat at the bottom is sending me! Also this is a tapestry and not a painting! Gobsmackingly gorgeous! 010 1
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 07/09/2026Recently read Perfection by Vincenzo Latrinico translated by Sophie Hughes described as 'a sociological novel about the emptiness of contemporary existence, beautifully written, brilliantly scathing' and is a really great critique of on vs offline existence. 111 1
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 01/09/2026Not a bad haul for a first attempt at growing potatoes which basically entailed throwing some sprouted potatoes in a planter bag at some point in June. 🥔🌱 #gardening 030 3
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 31/08/2026It’s been the the most stressful of summers for a myriad of reasons, so to end the month went to see Gwen John at the Modern 2 for some inspiration before I start my drawing, painting and mixed media class next month. 020 2
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 03/08/2026I finished Lucia Berlin's A Manual for Cleaning Women and whilst sometimes a bit of a slog due to heavy topics but Teenage Punk is the perfect short story due to its cadence and short, punchy descriptions and Electric Car, El Paso is just hilarious. Some of her one line descriptions are pure poetry. 000 0
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 30/07/2026I know the release of this collection is taking longer than Axl Rose hitting the stage but I promise I am working on it! Anyway, Happy World Embroidery Day to all my fellow stitchers! 🪡🧶🎨 051 5
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 23/07/2026Also, speaking of cultural and personal memory, went into town yesterday to drop off my laptop for repair because like my memory, nothing lasts for more than five minutes any more, but took time to go and see the Sandra George photo exhibit at the City Art Centre and really enjoyed it. 020 2
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 23/07/2026I’ve been reading a lot around the theme if memory because I’m interested about how money is affected in the digital age and this book Nostalgia: A History of a Dangerous Emotion by Agnes Arnold-Forster has been a fascinating read as you can see from all the page markers!! 100 1
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 21/07/2026One of the many things I’m doing this summer is learning how to make jeans. Pretty stoked with how my top stitching is improving even if the process nearly gave me and my machine a nervous breakdown! #garmentmaking #sewing 🪡🧶👖 070 7
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 29/05/2026Finished a rewatch of all Wes Anderson's that I own. My current top three are Moonrise Kingdom, The French Dispatch and Rushmore. I have thoughts, too many for here, maybe I'll write them down one day! #LetterBodxFriday #LastFourWatched letterboxd.com/DarcyGreyHea... 0100 10
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 07/05/2026Back at art class and more experiments in collagraphy and intaglio printing using fabrics like scrim and linen to create textural backgrounds for a future project. I like intaglio because it also embosses the paper slightly giving it more texture. 🧶🎨 #printmaking #textileart #art 0123 12
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 22/04/2026Just found these photos on my phone and I really need to get back to working on my art project about micro plastics and mass consumption. #artist 🎨 071 7
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 22/04/2026Okay, I'm making plans to release some new work soon and this is from a batch of work I've tentatively titled Meditations. This is from the Landscape series, the completed hoop is inspired by cherry blossom season 🌸 and the other by the lilac tree in our garden. #embroidery #traditionalcrafts 🪡🧶🎨 181 8
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 12/04/2026Recently finished Han Kang's We Do Not Part and I have made peace with never being this good a writer. To be able to write such tender meditations on such brutal topics is a rare gift. 📚 000 0
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 27/03/2026More experiments in printing, some quick sketch and etches I did using sandpaper to create flow and texture on the acrylic plate. I sketched these using pics from an architectural magazine, the first is Lochan Na Lairige also known as Lawers Dam. #intaglio #etching #printmaking #printmaker 021 2
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 19/03/2026In today's update in my adventures in printmaking I played about with some practice lino plates and now thinking of doing mix and match prints. Messed up my t-shirt test print but for a first attempt I'm not mad about it. Really want a relief printing press! #printmaking #linoprinting 020 2
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 16/03/2026As Bob Ross said 'There are no mistakes, only happy accidents.' More experiments in printmaking. What was an exercise in cutting straight lines, turned into an exercise on negative space but this design is growing on me. Not so happy accident - stabbing myself with the lino cutter! #textileart 122 2
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 13/03/2026After only one film in January and a filmless February, I've been on a bit of a rewatch flex this month. #lastfourwatched #LetterboxdFriday 0482 48
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 05/03/2026I haven't written any more poems but I did turn a damaged canvas into a giant display board so I could see what progress I am making on this collection which should hopefully be done by the end of the month! 021 2
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 05/03/2026Sneaking on here very quickly to say I spent all my money on art classes and art supplies, so here is a reminder that I have art for sale that is also on sale! I only run a sale in March! #embroidery #textileart #fibreart #traditionalcrafts 🎨🧶🪡 folksy.com/find/item/84... 172 7
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 26/02/2026More adventures in printing class, we've moved onto block printing which is what I actually wanted to learn to use in my own work, so I recycled some old embroidery designs and making plans for the left over embroidery hoops. #reliefprinting #linoprinting #printmakers 021 2
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 20/02/2026Maybe one day I'll actually do something with all this sea glass and pottery I've collected on my beach walks other than arrange it into aesthetically pleasing flat lays for the gram! 051 5
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 14/02/2026Look at this lil' cutie patootie having a little snooze in the midday sun 🧡 🦊 052 5
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 19/01/2026Got all my pigeons in a row because I'm on a budget! 082 8
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 04/01/2026A brisk walk along the promenade with added snow flurries.❄️ 020 2
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 03/01/2026Not the best pics but it's bloody freezing out there but the Wolf supermoon is up and hanging out with Jupiter (to the bottom right) and Castor and Pollux (to the left). 🐺🌕 041 4
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 03/01/2026The way Kang writes about the bleakest and heartbreaking situations in the most tender way, is a gift. Also, kudos to Deborah Smith for her translation of this book. 030 3
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 30/11/2025A quick four favourite first watches for November, a firm fave was Humanist Vampire with it's dead pan humour and witty one liners. Majoneze was a short, sharp but fun FU to the patriarchy. A place Without Fear was hypnotic and The Red Sea Makes Me Wanna Cry really made me want to cry. 📽️🎬🎞️ 010 1
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 24/10/2025This weeks #lastfourwatched for #LetterboxdFriday are The Cell - fab sets/costumes but bad acting Dracula - fab sets/costumes but with bad accents and bad wigs The Fall - fab sets/costumes but very depressing topic Closet Land - just depressing although that was the point Connection - Eiko Ishioka 080 8
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 08/10/2025Been on a bit of a horror flex lately with reading, I haven't decided on my next read yet but probably gonna stay on theme seeing as it's October! Highly recommend all of these but really liked Eartheater and The Starving Saints so also, two new to me authors to add to my faves. 📚 010 1
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 03/10/2025Not much to report except I signed up to a print making class at Leith School of Art so I can add some printing to my textile pieces. 140 4
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 03/10/2025Hello and back after a short hiatus for #lastfourwatched on #Letterboxd Friday. The Good, The Bad and The Weird was so much fun. Before There Was Punk, There was a Band Called Death is a must watch. Fever to Tell felt a bit bratty but also happy 25 years to the YYY's and AFV was comfort rewatch. 160 6
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 18/08/2025Rewatched Melancholia today and it's an oddly comforting end of the world movie but also I forgot how beautiful the cinematography is, the first 8 minute opening sequence could be a stand alone movie in its self. 120 2
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 08/08/2025Only three for this weeks #LastFourWatched for #LetterboxdFriday Alive in the Catacombs - being on death's door whilst singing in a massive crypt is a little on brand even for that man! Cleo from 5-7 & La Bonheur - Agnes is just writing horror movies for women! 1140 14
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 05/08/2025Spotted whilst eating my lunch at Portobello Beach, a piece called Joppa Boat Race by Noah King, age 11. I love the reclaimed pottery pieces as the sails. 🎨⛵️🌊 #art #edinburgh #portobellobeach 2327 32
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 14/07/2025Going through my archives whilst organising and I do love a little bit of dramatic lighting and a lens flare. Taken on the balcony of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery during winter when the sun hits the balcony just right. #art #photography #edinburgh 0192 19
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 10/07/2025Sometimes when going into town, I go down Regent Road to go see the bunnies hanging out on the abandoned bowling green. 🐰 051 5
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 05/07/2025It’s definitely Drop Dead Gorgeous with these two icons! Allison Janney gives a masterclass in scene stealing!! 030 3
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 27/06/2025I don't have a #LastFourWatched this week, so I'll do a #FourFavourites for this instead. Chess of The Wind (1976) - 12K watches Ashkal:The Tunisian Investigation (2022) - 2.6K watches Starfish (2018) - 8.9K watches Drifting Clouds (1996) - 23K watches Bonus - Movern Caller (2002) - 42K watches 080 8
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 23/06/2025The soundtrack is perfection too, I can't hear Young Hearts without seeing the Mercutio dancing! 010 1
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 13/06/2025Booked a last minute ticket to the Volcano Cinema: Of Eruptions and Other Stories screening by @cinemaattic.bsky.social (highly rec if you're in the Edinburgh/Glasgow areas) and watched six short films on life on volcanic islands, was very good. #lastfourwatched #LetterboxdFriday 080 8
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 20/05/2025Listening to Dorothy Ashby's version of Windmills of My Mind and I think I'm ready to rewatch Severance S2! 010 1
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 15/05/2025Pixies are truly one of my fave bands to see live, they hit the stage running and play song after song until the house lights come on to kick them off the stage! Also, they played both the original and UK surf version of Wave of Mutilation (my fave) which made me very happy! 140 4
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 10/05/2025I have an photo art project of abandoned/lost items I come across which I need to sort out at some point, anyway these poor wee ones were left abandoned and trapped inside an a shut down bakery along with this crocheted choux pastry. 021 2
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 24/04/2025If upon my death, you are not going to build a mausoleum where on solstice, sunlight streams into the chapel, forming the shape of a heart symbolising your eternal love for me, why are we even talking! mymodernmet.com/the-evrard-m... 032 3
Tasha Darcy (she/they) @tashadarcygrey.co.uk · 21/04/2025I finally finished Mood Machine and may have made some notes! Honestly, I never want to see anyone's wrapped list ever again! 030 3
