Just Finished My Very First Cross Stitch! It Was From A Beginner Cross Stitch Kit My Dad Bought Me. In

My dive into fiber arts continues with my first real sewing project. A pencil case as a much needed storage place for my crochet hooks. Entirely hand sewn because I didn't feel like getting the sewing machine out. It is so very rewarding to use My Own Hands to make a Thing that has Function.

I followed this tutorial. A good beginner sewing project imo.

Hello!

This is going to be an art blog documenting my adventures in fiber arts, digital art, fan art of various media, and probably more~

Finally got the hang of supported spindling and now I'm addicted!

I got some lovely fiber for my birthday. Natural brown alpaca (left) and dyed merino (right).

The singles, spun on the wheel.

Both of these fibers were gifts from different friends so I plied them together for the ultimate friendship yarn :3

Superb fairywren time! I've been trying to do some lower resolution pixel drawings because they seem a bit more achievable to cross stitch. The smaller canvas size is more challenging to work with but I think this one came out as a good candidate for a cross stitch project.

50/50 blend of dog fur and merino I spun for a friend of a friend. The blend was much easier to spin than pure dog fur (very short and slippery), though still a decent challenge. Never have I ever had a yarn so adamant about being spun short backward draw.

A pixel art cat. Had fun with these colours.

Some landscape practice ✧～(ゝᴗ ∂ )

I didn't intend to put this much work and detail into it but sometimes you get Taken Away by the artistic process.

is this enough?

Attempting Australian inspired landscape design in Minecraft. I'm pretty happy with the block palette for the ground. The darker areas represent areas of higher organic matter which accumulates with vegetation. And lots of flowers!!! Inspired by my trip to the mallee during wildflower season. Every flower choice corresponds to a real life species (though not necessarily from the same location)
