New #introduction post!

I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.

My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.

I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)

When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.

I love language learning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Toki Pona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.

I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.

Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!

🇬🇧 Following a sad life event in my surroundings, I created a 3D figurine of a star child out of love. Currently, I make star children as comfort gifts for parents who have lost a child. This is also the star child in a glass globe.

🇳🇱 Naar aanleiding van een verdrietige levensgebeurtenis in mijn omgeving, maakte ik vanuit liefde een 3D beeldje van een sterrenkindje. Momenteel maak ik sterrenkindjes als troostgeschenk voor ouders die een kindje verloren zijn. Zo ook dit sterrenkindje in een glazen bol.

Hello!
Thank you for your attention to my first post and my first #craft :blobaww: And now to business. This is something like a small survey. Would you like such a #plant #bookmark for #books if you do not pay attention to the color (this is a test copy from the colors that I had)? It is made by #needlefelting 100% from nettle.

🇬🇧 This wool painting is part of a collection themed around 'parenthood’. I created the collection for an exhibition.

🇾🇪 Dit wollenschilderij is onderdeel van een collectie in het thema ‘ouderschap’. De collectie maakte ik voor een expositie.

#throwbackthursday Around 10 years ago, I was off to my first year of the master spinner's program at Old's college. But before I left, I somehow left my purse with all my electronics and spindles on the ground and then ran over it while backing out. 😅 Half my electronics and all my spindles were trashed. Some people who I told at school told me to bring my broken spindles to Jan at Danware. So I did, and he got them fixed up for me really quick. They spin even better now. This is what I made to thank him. Asked him what his favourite colors and animal was. They brought it to all their markets, whenever I'd see the Danware booth I'd always look for that little speck of pink too. After I gave him that he also snuck up behind me and put a wooden felting needle holder in my purse. Such a sweet guy. I think this may be my last year to buy from them as their online shop is closed and they're selling off stock at markets this year. I'll have to get as many spindles as I can. 🥲
