I’m starting #Caturday early for my mental health 🐈‍⬛ Weave amazing designs on inexpensive looms! Rigid heddle looms, shaft looms, frame looms, pin looms. #FiberArt #TextileArt #FiberArtist #Weaving #HandWoven #LoomWeaving #overshot 🧶 #QueerArtist #NonbinaryArtist #OvershotWeaving #WeavingPatterns

Weaving on a 24 shaft dobby loom 2017. I got bored! For years I had “shaft envy” & bought ever more expensive #multishaft looms. I created freeform #overshot to weave amazing motifs on simple looms. #FiberArtist #Weaving #HandWoven #LoomWeaving 🧶 #RigidHeddleWeaving #OvershotWeaving #WeavingPatterns

I have been selected to write an article on freeform overshot for WEFT magazine. Spring 2026 will be about #twill. Twill + tabby frees weavers from shaft constraints. #FiberArt #TextileArt #FiberArtist #Weaving #HandWoven #LoomWeaving #overshot 🧶 #RigidHeddleWeaving #OvershotWeaving #WeavingPatterns

One of my freeform #twill patterns, as woven by another weaver. She wove sections of my pattern as she desired. Twill requires shorter floats than #overshot. #FiberArt #TextileArt #FiberArtist #Weaving #HandWoven #LoomWeaving 🧶 #RigidHeddleWeaving #QueerArtist #NonbinaryArtist #Art #WeavingPatterns

A Saori lilac-plum-magenta-red spectrum using highly variable hand dyed yarns. Bouclé and sequins add extra interest. #FiberArt #TextileArt #FiberArtist #Weaving #HandWoven #LoomWeaving #overshot 🧶 #RigidHeddleWeaving #QueerArtist #NonbinaryArtist #Art #OvershotWeaving #WeavingPatterns #SaoriWeaving

If you attend a protest, please wear a mask, preferably an N95+ respirator. Disabled & chronically ill people deserve full access everywhere, including protests against the US regime crisis. I wore a ReadiMask yesterday. I also keep on hand 3M Auras & soft Kimberly-Clark “duck lips” respirators 😷

Are you wanting to not support corporate food? DIY? Grow and preserve your own food? Urban forage? Guerilla garden? Dumpster dive? Live a freegan lifestyle? Avoid fossil fuel use, even for food preservation? I wrote books on these topics available in print and ebook formats. Links in bio.

No Kings Day protest, New Mexico State Capitol, Santa Fe. State troopers blocked off the street, making it impossible to take pics/vids after the number if protesters swelled into the 100s. I did my fair share of street blocking in my Protect Trans Youth shirt 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈👑🇺🇸 #ResisFascism #NoKingsDay #Protest

Freeform overshot woven on a Pampa Loom #FrameLoom. First I wove a plain weave grid using thinner yarn than usual, my #handspun. Then I needle wove the #overshot pattern. I sell the triangles pattern. #FiberArt #FiberArtist #Weaving #HandWoven #LoomWeaving 🧶 #OvershotWeaving #WeavingPatterns

4-shaft M's & O's cotton tablecloth woven by my maternal great grandmother Veronica Kocsis before 1916 in northwest Romania for her dowry. She married in 1916 at age 16. The family, my grandmother age 7, immigrated to Canada in 1927. My mother rediscovered her textiles as a teen & became a weaver.

I design weaving patterns as a tiny supplemental income to my SSDI. Freeform overshot is a pick up technique. It is possible do more with a small relatively inexpensive loom than a weaver with a very expensive loom can do 🌀
