getting back in to punch needle, finished this little table rug yesterday. Nice to work a muscle (both needle work and sewing) that I haven’t in a long while 🪡

In progress hemming of the back of a rug

Finished punch needle rug. A candle sits on top the rug

Print seps time! 💙💗💛

I scanned the trad inks back into the 'puter to color digitally and separate out for 3-color riso printing.

Originally I was going to send in this digital comp for the cover, but big brained @rymakes.bsky.social suggested scanning in a print and using that instead! (5/7)

Blue, Fluorescent Pink, and Sunflower color separations shown side by side

the digital colors of the finished piece. I was originally planning to send this in as the final copy, and just give away the risographs as promo for my Absolute Flash issues. But Ry gave me a much better idea to keep the mixed media iterations going!

Beautiful sticker gardens by www.instagram.com/_marcdavid_

Good morning

Simple geometric stickers form green zig zag stems with yellow square flower heads adorned with blue and red spots

Black linear stickers create a bonsai like structure and green circles create the leaf dense areas

A stripy plant pot made of blue linear stickers houses a large yellow rectangle decorated with red spots

A blue stem has a simple yellow rectangle flower that has a perfect red circular centre. The leaves are layered rectangular stickers with a couple of semi circles set at an angle

I hate to be doing this yet again. I know there are a lot more important things happening out there and we're all short on cash, but I'm two months behind on rent and am still struggling to find enough work to scrape by. I appreciate anything anyone can give. ko-fi.com/tylerhendrix...
