I've been practicing the seed stitch Melissa taught me in her workshop last month. And also taking her advice on choosing thread color that I can actually see (rather than match) what's on my print. The first is an eco-print of an onion skin on paper & I stitched over a wild grass that came out blurry in the print. Any feedback? I don't like that triangle shape at the top, would like to to get it more wavy like grass. The next print with the red flowers is what I plan to do next, maybe in the same green. Or maybe not.

These are some block prints I made on fabric today. I used Speedball screenprinting ink, and mixed red with silver. Once they’re dry, I will add stitched elements with embroidery. 😊❤️

A peek into my fabric-collage process. I’m working with the idea of an abstract landscape. So inspired by the incredible Tucson skies!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Last August I spent 10 days with a group of mushroom foragers (some were scientists, some were artists, some were just mushroom enthusiasts) in the Sierra Norte mountains of Oaxaca. We went on several forages, collected a ton of mushrooms, and learned how to dye fibers with them! Last 2 pics are from "Vida Nueva" women's weaving coop and "Dixza" weaving studio/small farm in Teotitlan del Valle.
