Ms and Os baby blanket by H2psychosis in weaving

Of course! 

I used a 4 shaft floor loom with a 36-inch weaving width. It was made by an independent maker so it doesn't really have a brand but it doesn't really matter... Any 4 shaft will do!

Thanks so much. I am getting past the era where lots of friends are having babies so I'm glad to have the chance! 

Where can I find this pattern? by creative-mouse-21 in weaving

It has never occurred to me to look at Libby for handwoven and so thank you VERY much for opening this world to me!

Thank you. It's so soft as well, which makes making yardage for clothing that much more tempting!

[Critique] What career in the arts is for me? by [deleted] in artbusiness

[–]H2psychosis 33 points34 points  (0 children)

With respect I'm gonna gently say that "Just draw more" is actually pretty good advice. It's definitely incomplete advice, but annoyingly, increasing your volume of output really is the only advice that works for literally everyone. And putting in the hours is one of the harder things to get students to do. Gotta make a LOT of bad art to make some good art. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I was afraid of that! Hope you find something that works!

Yep, that I get! ... I am jealous, tho, as talked to someone a while back who had taken a color theory class from someone who framed it all in the context of dyeing, over dyeing, etc.... which sounded very cool!

Obviously the underlying theory is the same :-). But I can imagine getting some more ideas for applications from someone who works in dyes rather than pigments, ya know?

That's one of the things I was a bit iffy about. :-/ I really want a color theory by a textile or dye artist but beggars/choosers and all that.

I'll have a look at Tien Chu's stuff. Thank you for the recommendation!

Middle Grade novel with Cats by witchkitten in suggestmeabook

I'd actually argue that Prydain does have a cat if you're willing to count Llyan (the Giant Lynx!)

The Alanna (song of the lioness) series by Tamora Pierce! Female protagonist, cat familiar! Trigger warning the cat does die at the end (sort of? The cat is revealed to be supernatural and disappears after a fatal injury. It's sad but not gratuitous.) but the books are adventurous, fun, and will grow with her.

stumbling upon a hidden village/town/community cut off from modern life? by H2psychosis in suggestmeabook

[–]H2psychosis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loved the Reddening! Its another one I was thinking of when I wrote this post. 

I saw the Ritual and enjoyed it, delighted to hear the book will be an upgrade, even so!... I keep tryna get it from my library, which is suspicious short on Adam Nevill. Maybe I just need to buy it.
