I’ve been learning Japanese wood block printing (mokuhanga) this weekend. Love it! Really happy that my experiments using pigments I made worked. 🙌🌱

Had a full day in the studio yesterday which was wonderful after struggling with my brain for ages. Still struggling, but now I have wonderful yellow dye to play with, made from goldenrod collected on the Fallowfield Loop. Made some pigment from it too, science! 🤓 🧪 🌞

Did the Big Ride for Palestine in Manchester on Saturday. Felt good to do something positive in these shitty times.

I did some work! 🙌🌞

Getting all the colours out today. Might even do some printing 🎨

Got the scrap bag out, doing some nice hand sewing today 💆🏻‍♀️

Growing mushrooms is so fun 🤩 🍄 These grey oysters have really popped over the last few days! Harvested them today to make tacos at the weekend 😋

Baby’s first indigo vat! So happy it worked 💙 (studio now stinks like egg 🥚)

Nearly finished quilting the back panel of what is going to be the world’s cosiest cardigan™️. Dyed with madder, acorns and oak leaves 🍃 #naturaldye #slowmaking

Yule to Imbolc in stitch format. I’ve done a full year of these now, taking a tiny break to consider what I’ll do next. Maybe one big year long project? Now I’m off out to see if I can see the Snow Moon 🌝 . #imbolc #embroidery #stitch-journal #micromoon
