Handful of pots from throwing class after having been trimmed - next step, they get fired once, then glazed/painted on, then fired again 😌
#Pottery #PotSky #PottersOfBluesky
(Yes I'm just trying out hashtags to see where potters here are posting 🥹)
A photo of six handthrown clay pots placed on a flat piece of wood on top of a table. Four of the pots are very curvaceous and two are more like straight-ish cylinders.

Some snapshots from today's yarn plying 🧶 merino with sari silk.
#HandspunYarn #SpinningYarn #SpinningWheel #SpinnersOfBluesky
A hand holding some yarn held taut on a niddy noddy. The yarn is made from sheep's wool with some recycled sari silk blended in. The sari silk gives the yarn some extra texture and colour. The yarn. Is slightly lumpy from the sari silk plus wool nepps from carding the wool fleece. A hand with the palm facing the camera. Resting on the hand is a sample of the wool yarn being that is currently being plied on a spinning wheel. It's two ply yarn and is about Aran weight.

It's like spinning heard that I was starting to enjoy pottery and decided to reassert itself as one of my main hobbies

Close up photo of a bobbin on a spinning wheel, half filled with a 2 ply yarn made from sheep's wool blended with recycled sari silk fibres.

A square ring bound sketchbook resting on a wooden table. The page it's open on features today's date (9th March 2025) and six slightly cartoonish sketches of hens drawn in pencil.

It's done! Handspun knitting project complete.
#ToddlerKnits #Pengweeno #WestKnits #Yarnsky
Flat lay photo of a toddler knitted jacket. The right side (as if worn) is overlapping the left side and there is a small knitted loop to be used as a fastening (the button will need attaching later). The arms are fairly short but the body is quite wide so the fit might be quite boxy on a toddler. A second view of the knitted jacket, this time with the left side on top and the button loop hidden from view. The back view of the knitted jacket. Another front view of the jacket, open.

Test art 🎨🖍️
#ArtSky #Sketching #Sketchbook #Art #Drawing
Photo of a sketchbook drawing in pencil - a front facing portrait, just a person with shoulder length hair. The portrait is slightly anime or cartoonish in style. Photo of a sketchbook page featuring two sketches of a portrait in side profile. The first sketch is unfinished and cut off and features only the face with no hair. The second portrait near the bottom is more complete, again side profile, of a feminine character wearing large round glasses with large dark eyebrows and thick long hair tied into a ponytail with a fringe and longer bits of fringe to the side (near the ear)

Work in progress pengweeno using handspun yarn, fibre from Marina Skua ✨🧶
#YarnSky #StephenWest #Pengweeno #ToddlerKnits
A photo of a knitting project laid on the floor. It is the start of a cardigan, with the back piece behind, and on top, two front panels folded towards the centre. One of the front panels is incomplete with the circular knitting needle and yarn still attached.

Handspun nice yarn floats Vs yarn guts horror because I didn't know how to manage small circumference colourwork knitting 😩 and this was during stress times so I also didn't look up help 😆
#HandspunYarn #Knitting #YarnSky
A photo of a hand holding the body of an inside out jumper. You can see the inside of the colourwork knitting with various threads of different colours overlapping each other. A hand holding an inside out sleeve of the same jumper, however this time there are lots of loose coloured yarn ends hanging out everywhere as the knitter didn't know how to manage their different yarns when knitting a more narrow circumference tube shape.

A little sketch I did that I like ✨✏️
#Drawinf #Art #Sketchbook #ArtSky
A pencil sketch on paper of the profile view of a head. The hair is tied up in a thick but short ponytail and the character is looking towards the viewer. The sketch is in a slightly anime inspired style or could maybe be considered a bit like the Scott Pilgrim comic book style.

Transferred my spindle project to the espinner last night, not sure why, but enjoying a change of pace 😌🧶🐑 fibre by Marina Skua ✨

Photo from above of a mustard coloured Argonaut (brand) electric spinning wheel. On the bobbin is some grey undyed single ply wool which will later be plied together with another bobbin of wool to create a 2 ply yarn.
