The finished Tour de Fleece sweater spin! It should be done drying now, but this was taken prior to washing on Saturday. Happy to have it done. Now for a little break from spinning. #handspinning #tourdefleece #fiberarts
Hobbit embroidery I've been working on for the last few months. I finally finished it last night. I worked with @scintillant-h.bsky.social who did the original art for this piece. #embroidery #fiberart
The first of my plied yarns from tdf from last night. I still have 6 more bobbins to ply, but this was one of the 7 braids. #handspinning #fiberarts #tourdefleece
Preview of a piece I'm almost done with that has been a collab with @scintillant-h.bsky.social Hoping to have actual photos of the finished piece to post by the end of the week. (No it's not destiny)
Tdf singles done. Going to spend the rest of tdf plying. Probably going to take a short break from spinning after this to do other crafts because this has been a marathon. #spinning #handspinning #tourdefleece
Tour de Fleece progress as of day 3. Failed to take a photo yesterday, but i only managed like half an oz anyway. #spinning #tourdefleece

Bfl I finished this week as a chain ply for @makoredeyes.bsky.social from fiber from Feederbrook Farms. #spinning #fiberarts
Three skeins of BFL finished this weekend. From left to right: Hipstrings, Feederbrook Farms, Into the Whirled. The two darker skeins are 2 plus, the middle skein is a chain ply. These are for @makoredeyes.bsky.social #fiberarts #spinning

Two skeins of Targhee i finished over the weekend. The first from 29 Bridges and the second from Fossil Fibers. #spinning #fiberarts
At a fiber festival today all bundled up because it's just barely cold enough.
Finished the first of the characters in this huge piece based on @rivaldi22.bsky.social work. Here's Elsie #embroidery #fiberarts ##destiny2art
#FossilFriday Have a Triassic pectinoid from Williston Lake, BC from when I did field work in grad school.
The finished yarn from the fiber i posted the other day! Shaniko from Yarnaceous Fibers in the Joshua Tree national park colorway from last month's club. Spun up as a 2 ply worsted. #fiberarts #spinning #handspinning
After a couple weeks of stalling out on crafting i decided to abandon the spin i had on the wheel for now and start this braid that I just got from Yarnaceous Fibers for their national parks and fossils club. The colorway is Joshua Tree National Park. #spinning #fiberarts
I'm quite fond of Claraia sp. (Not my photos) since I studied them in grad school. Cool little Triassic pectinoids.
Throw back Thursday, two pieces made 10 years apart that in still extremely proud of. The Thorin's map was made in 2013 and Saint 14 and the wish dragon (based on @sketchmatters.bsky.social ) was made in 2023. Both hand embroidery.
Finished the outline for the piece based on @rivaldi22.bsky.social 's work. I'm packing this up because I'm about to move, but I'll continue in my new apartment. #embroidery #fiberarts #handembroidery
Some spinning i finished last night. The green is BFL from Feederbrook Farms and the silver is Polwarth/yak/silk from Shirsty Cat that fought me to hell and back. Both are chain plied. #spinning #fiberarts
This is going to be a thread of things I've finished over the last couple months that I haven't been able to share because Christmas presents or the like. #embroidery #spinning #knitting
Halloween embroidery finally done! Original art by @wendysketches.bsky.social #embroidery #fiberarts
