November thus far
Photo of an orange tabby cat sitting on a desk in front of a window. His head is obscured by a orange and yellow printed sheer curtain. The desk has a plant and various art supplies on it. On the side is another plant, and on the other is a lamp. There are prints on the wall beside the window frame. Photo of Higu’s yellow gloved hand holding wet, squished black walnut matter. Under higu’s hand is a sieve resting on an orange bucket. The sieve is holding more black walnut matter. The bottom of the bucket contains liquid black walnut pigment. Photo of Henri the orange tabby standing with his front legs on a windowsill behind a patchwork curtain. He’s stretched tall and his neck is at a weird angle bc he’s doing weird cat things (watching leaves blow in the breeze). Outside, the leaves on the trees have turned yellow. Framed portrait of Chopin (i think). The frame is sitting on the floor and leaning against a bright yellow bookshelf. Behind it is a glimpse of some bookshelf items: A Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys book, a Super Gals anime boxset, some comics, novels, and a basket of cords.

Small quilt for a market! I have a handful of fabric pieces printed with this old drawing of mine, but this was the only one cut so the math wouldnt be annoying. The center is a digital print that i hand quilted, the surrounding blocks are machine pieced and quilted ✨
Photo of a small quilt wall hanging. The center of the quilt is printed with a drawing of a yellow hand surrounded by pink vines; the hand has a tattoo of a sword. On each side of the centerpiece is a row of flying geese pointing upward. Above and below the centerpiece are strips of pink and white checkered fabric. The corner pieces of this quilt are quarter square triangle blocks. A closeup of the quilting on the centerpiece.

Finally finished this mini quilt. I screenprinted a photo of my mom’s curry trees, then screen printed a pattern i designed on top of that. The piecing around the center used fabric printed with the same shape pattern. This is more or less 14”x13”, machine pieced and hand quilted
Photo of a quilt. The center is one large piece of fabric that is printed and quilted. It is bordered with checkered strip piecing. The corners are halfsquare triangles. The piecing is wonky and nothing really lines up. Closeup of the center piece and quilting. Closeup of one of the corners. High contrast photo of curry trees in front of a painting.

Learning pigment and dye stuff from my friend :)
Photo of 3 pots on a stove. One pot is full of amaranth, one is full of goldenrod, and the largest pot is full of black walnuts. Each plant pot is full of water. The photo has been cropped so you can just barely see someone’s hand holding a wooden spoon on the right side. Photo of a jar with some red amaranth dye. In the background is a blurry shot of a kitchen counter. Photo of a jar with some pale yellow goldenrod dye in it. In the background is a blurry shot of a kitchen cabinet Photo of a wet piece of dyed fabric being held over a pot of black walnut dye bath. The fabric is a lovely shade of brown and is being held up with a wooden spoon.

boss requested an example of diff ppl wearing the same outfit, heres the YINZ CITY baristas + isaiah (cafe alumni). hands are above my dayjob pay grade. now with alt text. RIP image compression
digital lineart drawing of four YINZ CITY characters all wearing the same outfit. from left to right: Dominique, Nabokov, Kit, and Isaiah. the outfit is composed of a short sleeved mockneck, high waisted pants, and black boots. the characters all have different body types so the outfit is styled slightly differently on each. the bottom right corner is signed “higu rose 2025”
