Finished another scarf on the 3D printed rigid heddle loom, maybe not the best color choices as it looks a little like crayon on burlap 🤪 #weaving #handweaving #handwoven

Finished a Totodile embroidery. 6" hoop, DMC floss in outline stitch for the outline and long-and-short stitch for the fill. #embroidery #handembroidery

New scarf finished - figured out how to weave a simple plaid. 3D printed rigid heddle loom is still holding up. #weaving #handweaving #handwoven

New scarf finished. Tried a very simple color&weave pattern this time. The 3D printed loom holding up pretty well, although I'll likely replace the ratchet dog as that seems to be the main point of failure/frustration. #weaving #handweaving #handwoven

Watching a talk about the colors of methane haze around Uranus. No way that doesn't sound cheeky.

Finished a teal & green scarf on the rigid heddle loom I 3D printed last summer. Textbook for scale.

Yesterday our STEM Ambassadors class did a number of chemistry demos for a local high school class. Of course there was fire :)

Taught myself how to weave last week. First attempt at patterns: Checkered and Twill. Not bad for first attempts on a DIY cardboard loom!

It's Jeff! DMC floss on hand-dyed cotton. Mostly long-and-short stitch.
