I finished this blanket last weekend.

Inconceivable blanket by Tess Campbell.

Pattern can be found on Ravelry.

I have not seen much fingerweaving on this sub, so I thought I would share my passion with you!!

Je viens de terminer cette ceinture fléchée, je suis tellement heureuse d'avoir réussi à en flécher une aussi longue. Elle est entièrement tissée aux doigts, avec la méthode traditionnelle.

The ceinture fléchée is a very important cultural staple for us the Québécois and the French-Canadians. It is as well for the Métis and many First Nations! I am Québécoise myself and it was my dream to learn, I feel so euphoric that I was able to make this. I will wear it proudly this summer and I am already excited to start another one!!

No pattern for the sweater, but utilized free “retro granny flower square” pattern (many available online) for about 80 squares, then joined. Excited it’s done! No, I didn’t block my squares. Shabby-chic?

These are all made with Swarovski and Miyuki or Toho beads

As part of a series where I make something everyday. Yesterday on Day 3/30 I altered this vintage military satchel messenger bag with denim flames all over. I then attempted to add rivets that spelled out “fucklastcall” cause that’s the name of my brand but it was a very shitty attempt at it(also my first time working with rivets)

I created this painting based on a request. The idea was to depict a frog family (father, mother, and their little daughter) in a spa-like environment, bathing together in a bowl of ramen. I’ve included the initial sketch and an early stage of the painting process as well.

I sometimes like to paint directly onto unprimed canvas, because the natural canvas texture subtly shows through and enhances the final result.

dollar store acrylics, canvas and wood frame. I put some cardboard behind the characters to give them a raised effect.

A few months back, I met a neighbor of mine who's been designing and building a new type of instrument. We're based in Dublin, and he originally made it from a discarded hurley stick - basically a field hockey stick, from the Gaelic sport of hurling.

Now, the new ones are still made by hand, with the body made from Irish ash wood and the acoustic body made of Spanish tone wood (Rosewood, in this case, but with some ebony bits added for strength). The strings and hardware are all off the shelf from local shops, same with the drumhead.

Very proud of him for inventing it, and proud of myself for being able to help!

I've been designing 3D city maps for a couple of years now and my latest is of downtown Boston. I'm very happy with how this one turned out. I was a bit nervous on how I was going to handle the details on Zakim Bridge but after some changes I got it to work nicely.
