Back view of me wearing a handwoven vest with textured art yarns with handspun coils, wavy flowy lilac/magenta vertical stripes 5+ centimeters wide, and aqua/light turquoise lens shaped spots. At top middle of the back is a large magenta outlined lilac heart with spirals forming the top two heart bumps. Black clothing underneath. Brunette buzz cut. Iโ€™m leaning on a wrought iron railing overlooking a condo buildingโ€™s interior courtyard. Overcast gray sky.

A rainbow shawl that goes from royal purple (left end) to blue, green, yellow, orange, red, and fuchsia across its width. Fuzzy zigzag color transitions. Each side folded over to create a trapezoid on a red brick patio. Velvety texture. Long fine fringe. A yellow three leaf cluster lies on the dark royal purple fringe, a green three leaf cluster on the red.

A faux ikat chenille wrap I made from a single space dyed skein.

It doesnโ€™t look super loose. Maybe looser than you expected or want. I donโ€™t know. It depends on what you want to use the fabric for.

Five scarf-like strips of handwoven fabric laid out side by side on a bed the long way: the outer and middle strips alternate rainbow spectrum sections with turquoise on navy geometric and sea life motifs. The two in between strips are turquoise blues and greens. White blanket underneath.

Iโ€™m making a colorful shawl by embroidering together Saori fabric strips with freeform overshot motifs.

Wide flat expanse of firm wet sand under a blue blue sky, Pacific Ocean to the left, facing north. Along the right side is the end edge of a thick sandstone mesa sloping down to the ground. Right lower foreground, a gray, uneven, sandy rock is exposed, a little above the sand. Beige fossils are lit up by slanted autumn afternoon sunlight coming from behind the scene to the south over the ocean. A long pointy shell cross section, little bubbly chambers on each side of a middle line jumps out at the viewer, surrounded by curled of roundish shells.

A long 18+ foot scarf width blue green fabric with different textures and yarn colors alternating in a non-regular way. Itโ€™s draped in a zigzag over a shoji screen, white and light wood. Six sections hanging down, two ends and two loops.

My latest Saori weaving is off the loom. Ocean intertidal zone inspired.

I keep thinking about ridiculous โ€œhigh support needsโ€ vs low. Ppl who donโ€™t know me assume low support bc โ€œgiftedโ€ (I reject label), what appears to be a successful career & community awards. But Iโ€™ve never maintained a job, SSDI $540. Financially dependent on parents/spouse, no friends, etc.

A collage of two weaving photos and two beach photos. Blues and greens and wavy, uneven shapes and textures tie them together: clockwise from top left: 1 . a rectangular Mexican Talavera tile tray with lime green and purple florals holding 10 white shuttle bobbins with different matte and shiny yarns in emeralds, limes, jewel greens, and turquoise, light and navy blues, smooth and boucles. 2 . A rocky beach with large, intense spring green algae covered boulders under stormy gray skies. 3 . Scarf width fabric on a small loom with dashes of navy blue, light blue and emerald yarn and bumpy boucle soft muted turquoise yarn. 4 . Sunset clouds with yellow highlights against a turquoise blue sky, colors reflected in ocean water swash on sand with ocean to the horizon. Trippy.
