Hi! 👋 I just joined, and while I figure this out, let me tell you a bit about me.

I'm a maker of dolls inspired by nature, folklore, labyrints of myth, mind and magic. My dolls are mostly witches, and when they leave my home, they often become altar dolls. It's been a weird and interesting journey of doll making for the past 7 years, 600+ dolls now live in homes and collections around the world.

Besides crafting dolls I'm into permaculture, paganism, self-sufficiency, foraging and neverending self-development. I'm a forest dweller, mushroom hunter, food grower and herb lover deep in the countryside in Latvia (North-Eastern Europe). All of that I might occasionally share here. I would love to connect with like-minded people, so, if you're here, say 'hi'! I hope you are somewhere here...

Now to figure out what to do with the rest of this weaving wool from my inherited stash… like the blue and brown, I’ve just finished, it’s not for garments but rather upholstery. It will probably be more cushion covers but in a different pattern this time …maybe some kind of randomised check/tartan.. 🧐
What do you think?

1.6 m x 55 cm off the loom with only a little bit off surplus yarn left on the shuttles (maybe for som band weaving). Took only two nights to weave 💪.
Sturdy pure wool fabric destined for cushion covers …maybe for sale, maybe just for us.
But first I need to soak the fabric (after I’ve gotten the cat off of it 😂)

Heyyyy mastodon!

It’s time for a snapshot #introduction of me, and how I'm hoping to contribute to this platform

My name is Cassie and I run a Philadelphia based community craft and art group. The group started 9 years ago on another well known platform and over the years it stopped serving our purposes. My hope is that this space can help connect our local community and inspire others to follow suit.

I prefer she/her and they/them pronouns and I default to using they/them pronouns with new people that don’t specify a preference.

I'm an #artist, #crafter, #organizer, and #designer. In order of most experienced to least, I utilize and teach the following skills: #leatherwork #accessorydesign #handembroidery #chainstitchembroidery #basketweaving #handbuildingclay #bookmaking #printing #surfacedesign #naturaldyeing #felting #spinningyarn #painting #drawing

I like to create, I have a love of aquatic fish, mushrooms, bugs, bones, prismatic colors, texture, line work, anything tufted, and gin is the way to my heart.

I look forward to sharing my creations and offering support with questions about any skillsets that I am able!

After all these years, an #introduction !

I'm Blahmage (like the mage, not the german word for embarrassment haha), and I consider myself a variety artist and crafter - as such you won't find "only one kind or style of art" here. I love to try out new things! But watercolours and sewing are my eternal love. I work mostly traditionally.

I also love FFXIV and chocolate.

Didn't think to introduce myself!

Hi, I'm Asta. I'm 35, voluntarily childfree, late diagnosed ADHD and a general wonderer of the world. I live in Tampere, Finland with my dog(seen in previous post) and partner.

I read a lot, especially fantasy and sci-fi, but last year I got into audiobooks which resulted in the rise of romance, thrillers and mysteries on my reading stats. (Storygraph shows me my stats so I know it's true!)

The rise of audiobooks was largely due to the increase of crafty activities, on which I'm definitely a jack of all trades but master of none, because why settle on one when you can do everything at the same time! Currently my focus is on crochet and sewing, but with this year's promise to finally learn to knit I might just have a new favourite. I'll share some of my current wip's in the pictures, but they're not nearly all that I'm in the middle of. 😅


Most of all my aim is to not take myself too seriously, although I do slip every now and then.

I look forward to seeing all the crafty things this platform has to offer!

#introduction #crafter

I'm Märta, she/they, 35 yrs, living in the middle of Sweden with my SO and our elderly #NorwegianForestcat.

Our home is filled with #plants, of which some are successful and some are an experiment. I'm a #gamer, a #music enthusiast, a #hockey fan, #neurodivergent, a #yarn #crafter, #LGBTQIA+, a #baker, learning #foraging, and with a re-found love for #reading.

After 10 years of working as a university #librarian, I'm now studying #statistics with an #informatics profile.

#NewServer #NewIntro

How does one write an intro anyway.... My profile lists the most interesting stuff about me.

Chronically online, old-time internet user, web designer since 1999, gamer since forever, paused in pursuing a bachelor's of fine arts with a minor in art history.

GenX, feral, inner-child-driven (working on it), caregiver to my husband who has Parkinson's.

Three grown kids, two cats, too much craft stuff, and too many sentimental items.

(Wow, the post length is LONG here...)

Former military brat, ex-Mormon, sometimes pagan sometimes not. I do tarot readings, but only for people I know.

I collect dragons, ravens, nutcrackers, Barbies, Lokis and Doctor Stranges.

When I'm not overwhelmed, I like to think about movie, historical and game costumes and figuring out how to make them work in real life.

Grey Jedi, sometimes Dathromiri. The best Avenger is Cap.

Here come the hastags:

I’m CJ or YellowBox (iamtheyellowbox pretty much everywhere). #Artist #Writer #crafter and occasional #cosplayer

Proud member of #izzycanyon ( @IzzyCanyon ) and an #izzyHands multi-shipper. Favorite ships include:

Stede/Ed/Izzy: #SteddyHands
Roach/Izzy: #Rizzy or #RoachyHands
Jack/Izzy: #CJizzy or #JackHands
Ed/Izzy: #EdIzzy

If the ship includes Izzy, there’s a good chance I’ve read it and ship it (and may end up doing art for it). 😅

Hello, hello!

I guess it's time for a little #introduction

My name is Kelsey and I go by IslandersCaper most places on the internet.

I use she/her and fae/faer pronouns, I was born in 1995, and I've moved around Atlantic Canada a lot, but am currently based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

I'm a #writer, #crafter, #podcaster, and #TTRPG designer and avid player. I also love doing disneybounds and closet cosplays and taking a lot of pictures.

I like to read, I like comics, I love to be outside, and I've had people describe me as "a living Jane Austen character" or as having "cottagecore and victorian teacup vibes".

I've never done an #introduction but maybe I should. I go by the name Cheshire (Ches for short) and I'm all over the place. I have #ADHD so my interests vary a LOT. I am a #crafter, #gamer, #contentcreator who has a #dog and a #cat. Met my husband online in a game and moved to #Mexico to be with him. I play all sorts of #games, mostly #GuildWars2 and #Warframe, with the occasional others. Currently hold 2 #degrees, first being a #veterinarytechnologist and my second being a #gamedeveloper. (1/2)
