I almost bought some gorgeous and huge Ukrainian jewellery made from woven rocailles, which I don't have the opportunity to wear. So I went back to hoarding colours at our Festival of Wool and Yarn. Again, I couldn't resist the vintage bobbins. More in the AltText.
Are there more people who hoard colours against grey realities? 😎 🌈

Saris silk wrapped in a strand, colour spectrum between pink, yellow, beige and light blue. I looked for embroidered and originally coloured sari rests in vain, the trader almost only has overdyed silk: "people no longer want it too colourful."
Variegated embroidery thread in colour collections like yellow, rose, blue, brown-green etc. It is pure hoarding, at 1 E the strand I had to take 10, I couldn't stop at 7 or 9! I still don't know what I will make with it but I love variegated yarn for collages or stitching 3D moss.
It was great that the people from Auvergne were there again to supply me with ancient wooden bobbins: here are some in all sizes. One of the bobbins is wrapped with a self-coloured fabric ribbon. I use it to make scroll books from fabric or paper art. Hard to explain. My colleagues: Oh you embroider Thoras!
The beginning of a scroll book: The fabric is brightly purple (dyed with fruit tea). I placed different scraps from saree silk and lace on it and will fix them with "wild", intuitive embroidery like a collage. Colour spectrum: purple, rose, and yellowish green. These scroll books will be fixed on the wooden spools. They can be read like a Torah or hanged open on a wall.

Welcome all and come by to peruse my extruding and exuding skull and textile pieces🫠

Also, don't forget about the vernissage this evening, 13.3. from 18-19 in Kangasala!

This was a fun exhibition to work at and Kangasala culture services made it a super easy and chill to put together. Thank you Eljas for all the help 🙏

Well apologies for all the #LAOTY hype. Most disappointed that the producers found inane cooments by someone who had never painted anywhere other than her kitchen more noteworthy than my #FineArtInStitch
My brolly did make several appearances 😉 Here’s my finished piece finally and with few tweaks after the event

Making a mess in the kitchen. I normally dye outside in summer. But I finally want to work with these fabric strips that are too white for the project. So far, I've only dyed paper with this mixture (for days in the sun). I'm curious to see if it will work.

Tip: If you have tea too old to drink, they give a great dye for most papers and natural textiles!

A look inside a white bowl: white strips of fabric float in a cherry-red solution of concentrated old mallow and hibiscus tea. Some blue mallow flowers swim on the surface.

Lichen-like thread sculpture.

I'm still getting my head around this Mastodon thing, (my last post was 2 years ago)...my millennial brain seems to only compute with Instagram and Facebook marketplace at best - but I'm keen to share my work here as it seems like a welcoming space.

I make things - mostly freehand machine embroidery pieces. I'm fascinated by lichen-like forms - nature's ability to hold and transform is humbling in these current times.

"Arguably, women are using the tools that were traditionally meant to confine them as a means to chip away at oppression. They are appropriating the mediums, manipulating them to their own advantage, and using these unthreatening methods to draw in the viewer and transfer their message."

An intriguing look at the widespread and long history of the subversive power of fiber art.
