Itty bitty mushroom pieces for the first draft of a future forest floor kit! Over the course of creating needle felting and embroidery kits, I have found that I typically make three samples while refining the project. The first version is usually close but often far too complicated to work well in a kit format! What comes next in my process is confirming I can source all the supplies that I need, making notes on the pattern and supply quantities, and then going through a second test run with...

Turning Loriini from @worldofwoolteam into pencil roving using my blending board. I found the bamboo fibre was very fragile, whichever preparation I chose to spin from, but drafting out a thick rolag from the end adds a little twist to hold the roving together. . . . #questionableblends #questionableblendsblanket #spinningbamboo #bamboofiber #spinnersofinstagram #handspinnersofinstagram #handspunyarn #bambooyarn

day 15 ! it was nice and sunny today so I decided to sit out on the balcony again. this yarn is coming out a lot thinner than my previous spins which I think means I’m getting better? I also almost never park and draft now which is so crazy, I’m just letting the spindle hang and accepting the little imperfections that come with that :^) #yarn #wool #handspun #spinningyarn #spinstagram #dropspindle #dropspindlespinning #fiberart #fiberartistsofinstagram

I’ve been exploring ways to translate my forest floor techniques into a beginner-friendly format. I’d love to hear what you all think - would you rather have a forest floor kit, or a felt along livestream video where you source your own supplies? I love making kits, but one of the hardest things is knowing that you all can’t ask me questions in real time as you are working on them! As I’ve been testing the forest floor techniques, I’m trying out different tutorial explanations in my head a...

Oh how the forest floor has my heart 💚🍄 I have been loving exploring all of the different textures and colors from the forest floor lately. I’ve been reading about all sorts of mushrooms and lichen and moss and saving dozens and dozens of pictures. In this video I am needle felting a mushroom inspired piece from start to finish. This is inspired by a false Turkey tail mushroom and when I’ve felted enough of these large green forms, I’ll layer them all together to create a full piece. #Need...

“The art world is really hard to break into and even harder to find success. But you’re really good at administrative work! You may want to consider a career as an administrative assistant instead.” This is actual advice I was given in my final semester of college after having spent four years studying art with the express purpose of pursuing an art career after graduation. I’m so glad I didn’t take it. I remember feeling so defeated after hearing that from a mentor I’d trusted. They encour...
