[sunshineandrosesnoraincamemyway]

thinking today about how much I love literally all fiber arts. I am hopeless at almost every other kind of art, but as soon as there is thread, yarn, or string I can figure it out fairly quickly.

I learned how to knit when i was eight, started sewing at nine, my dad taught me rock climbing knots around that age, I figured out from a book how to make friendship bracelets, I've made my own drop spindle to make yarn with, and more recently I've picked up visible mending. I've learned embroidery through fixing my overalls, and this year I've learned how to darn and how to do sashiko (which I did for the first time today). After years of being unable to crochet I finally figured it out last night and made seven granny squares in just a few hours.

I want to learn every fiber art that I can. I want to quilt, I want to use a spinning wheel, I want to weave, I want to learn tatting, I want to learn how to weave a basket, I want to learn them all. If I could travel through time and meet anyone in the Bible, high on my list are the craftsmen who made the Tabernacle.

I want to travel the world and learn the fiber arts of every culture, from the gorgeous Mayan weaving in Guatemala, to the stunning batik of Java, to Kente in Ghana. I want to sit at the feet of experienced men and women and watch them do their craft expertly and learn from them.

Of every art form I've seen, it's fiber arts that tug most at my heartstrings.

Cherokee Double Wall Basket Purse

ᎯᎠ ᏔᎷᏣ ᎠᏬᏢᏅ - I made this basket!

ᎦᎵᏉᎩ ᎢᏳᏟᎶᏓ - 7 hours

Gauge 3 round reed, 1/2" flat reed belt, some half oval reed at the base. Gauge 2 round reed bow.

An experimental commission! Basket itself is about 10 inches deep. Thrifted the shoulder chain from a belt. 🤔 Going to look into this more since I need the income and I like the direction of making these more accessible/ easy to use.

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

I might make a lid for it

The European fan palm, also called Mediterranean dwarf palm (Chamaerops humilis), is the only palm tree autochthonous of Europe. It grows in Southern Europe and is abundant in the South of Catalonia.

For millennia, it has been used to make a kind of fabric (in the local dialect of Catalan called llata) that is used for weaving. This work has traditionally been done by women, called llatadores de pauma. There are still women in the area, old and young, who weave these palm leafs, particularly in the towns around the Parc Natural dels Ports.

Pokeberry dyed reeds.

Poke is a plant my grandmother and I would forage growing up, the plant is toxic so it has to be prepared right, you cannot eat the berries at all.

The ratio for pokeberry is 25:1 😊 had some trial and error with this. Foraged the berries myself and the second go around was more of a berry mash than a dye mix.

Basket I've been working on :) i use any plastic bags packaging that can be tightly rolled up, including shopping bags. And I use yarn to weave it into a basket :)))) Very fun to make but it can be really difficult on your hands and wrists especially if you deal with chronic pain. I'll post the finished basket once I'm done <3
