New #introduction post!

I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.

My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.

I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)

When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.

I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.

I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.

Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!

Hand-dyeing post 3 of 3: We still had some skeins left, so I blanched madder chips and dyed cotton in the blanching liquid (left, top); then made a dye bath (left, bottom).
Image 2 shows the difference between blanching liquid (orangey, left) and dye bath (red, right). Image 3 shows a closeup of madder on 4ply - I love this colour!

@ladylambs Hi Ana, and welcome! Love your mitts and love your kitty cat. Mastodon is a cool place in many ways - no advertising, no algorithms, no corporate overlords. Your experience here will be shaped by who you follow, and by the hashtags you use and follow. Here are a bunch of fiber arts ones, to get you going! 😊🧶😊

@asta Hi there, I do! Suggest following bunch of relevant tags. Follow people who post with those tags - you can always unfollow later. Also, once a day I check out all posts on #Knitting and follow anyone new to me there, like you. 😊 This is how you curate your feed here. Have fun! Here are a bunch of tags to check out...

The in-progress photos of my hand-dyed patchwork that I previously put on Mastodon are no longer available here since strangeobject.space was shut down, and I have some new ones proving that I did in fact actually finish making them into a cushion cover, so here they are. (This is just one cushion cover — it’s different on each side.)
