Sorry not sorry to grannypost again but look at this amazing jacket she made me??? She wove it herself on her loom out of wool, silk, banana fibre and scraps of old cloth. The buttons are made of antler. It took her a year and a half and I love it! It’s not vegan, but it is handmade, largely local and very sustainable. It’s an item of clothing I have a personal connection to because of the story behind it, and it shows that reducing how much cotton and polyester we wear doesn’t have to mean drab or boring clothing. So it feels pretty solarpunk to me! Now to learn how to do this kind of thing myself…

My basket is done!!!!! She looks a little wonky but that's okay :)

I might make a lid for it

Varha keeps poking at me with more Family Lore TM as an explanation for why her current relationship with Rhaya’ra is Like That & it’s coming in the form of “actually Three of us survived the calamity physically but one is suspiciously Not Present Now & also she was definitely Rhaya’s favourite sister :)”

I don’t have a name for this sibling yet but she’s. Definitely not going to be making any present day appearances that’s for sure.

Stories from the weave studio: April

A month of reflection and thinking time, always necessary in the creative process.

I had to stand on my bed to take this photo, and I think that's iconic:

I still need to weave in the ends, but this is the back panel complete! I went through thirteen skeins (429yards/392meters/~9,806.94 Dinoponera Gigantea ants) to finish up this panel, but I'm only about 36% of the way through the recommended size.

I found the fiber art history book I’ve been wanting - “Fabric - The Hidden History of the Material World” by Victoria Finlay. I’ve only read one chapter so far and it’s already fascinating.

From the sturdy top handles to the detachable strap and distinctive jute weave on canvas, this adorable iteration of Jute Weave Tote Bag features everything we have come to love about this functional range. It offers ample space to hold everything you need in a day and more. Plus, the lovely colorway makes it incredibly versatile piece that will match easily with almost any outfit.

Look: the problematic of coalition is that coalition isn't something that emerges so that you can come help me, a maneuver that always gets traced back to your own interests. The coalition emerges out of your recognition that it's fucked up for you, in the same way that we've already recognized that it's fucked up for us. I don't need your help. I just need you to recognize that this shit is killing you, too, however much more softly, you stupid motherfucker, you know?
