Black Cat Orange Cat Studio

We're rebranding to Black Cat Orange Cat Studio!

I got my #crow #linocut on a tshirt and I love it! Sales incoming? I'd love to eventually!

I did some test #prints on a French Tool press. It was my first time using the press, and I really enjoyed it. I need to clean up the blocks some then head back with nicer paper. #linocut

Slow but steady forward movement on this #embroidery #wip. Nearly halfway done (?)

This is the kind of niche content I absolutely crave

I finished the #koi #linocut except for the eyes. I'm still trying to figure out how I want them. Just for fun, I did some #charcoal rubs on the print. I love how the effect turned out.

#wip #linocut #koi I love the carving process.

My #hishizashi #wip is coming along after a restart. I love how it looks so far!

My #wip from a wet felting class we took yesterday. This is the first layer of what will become a flower. We still have several classes to go, but I am very excited about learning this technique. #felt #fiberarts

I'm in love with this!

Random stitching in a variety of embroidery stitches and blue tones with a blue bird bead and purple glass beads included, as well as a yellow toned decorated wooden button. Small bit of a much larger piece

My #koi #linocut #wip is nearly complete! I get really lost carving and can spend several hours working without noticing it. For me, it is a meditative process. The koi will be printed on fabric and paper with colored spots painted in.

She is wearing a gold hand-knit top that features dark blue stag beetles around the waist and a geometric pattern along the neckline. A bookcase, terrariums, and several framed photos of insects are visible in the background.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Here I am holding my very first insect collection, a course project from almost 15 years ago ♥️🧪 #entomology #womeninscience

Plus, peep my stag beetle knit top! 🧶 #knitting #showmeyourknits

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🧪 It's hard for me to resist a good insect collection opportunity, here I am taking a break between shrimp pot sets to do some bee collecting for the Alaska Bee Atlas 🐝 #entomology

(and in my hand-knit fisherman's Gansey, of course) #knitting

This is incredible!

Not the most impressive photo I've taken, but it is showing progress well! I am about halfway through the yellow green seen on the bobbin waiting its turn.

#Crossstitch #embroidery #blackwork #stitching

Finished right around this time last year. I'm still pretty proud of how the gradients turned out. #blackwork #embroidery on 14-count Aida, my own design. #tbt

Beautiful! Your stitching is top-notch! What's your secret?

This has been my hyperfocus for the last little while. Pattern is Realistic Octopus by Crafty Intentions. The soundtrack that kept me going all through 232 individual crochet suckers is @midnightpals.bsky.social @robinjohnson.bsky.social I think I might call him Howard!

Ahem. I made dis today. #embroidery #stitchery #bee

Making progress on this #hishizashi project. It is REALLY slow going, but I can't wait to see it finished.

Last night I taught my first embroidered mends class. It was great to get to help everyone learn how to patch their denim and then add #embroidery around the patch.⁠

Beautiful!

Working on a new cosplay project and I am so happy with how this sashiko embroidery turned out!! Just over 20 hours of stitching and so much math.

I love following the Fiber Arts feeds here. While I love seeing and admiring knitting projects, I don't have an interest in picking it up yet. But every time I see some fabric on a loom, my hands get itchy it buy one and learn weaving. Hopefully, one day, I'll have the space for it.

It might be hard to see, but this is my #koi #wip #linocut. I'm going to redo it with the lines as the positive image rather than the negative. I plant to print on paper and fabric then paint in the colors.

My current #hishizashi #wip. I had to start this one over several times because the traditional way of stitching was making it look a little strange. The final piece will be about 5x7in for framing.

The Dressmakers of Auschwitz is phenomenal
