#Introduction She/Her. Very much still learning the mastodon/fedi ropes! Central Indiana natural history enthusiast and co-owner/#photographer @Nativeplantsunlimited . Mostly boosts posts, will occasionally gush abt #naturalhistory, my various #handcrafts, #pets, and #houseplants. I don’t mind answering questions in the comments!

Been messing with loom beading, these are my first three projects! Lessons were learned lol. Pictured: Three bracelet-sized bands of beading. The farthest from camera is out of focus, with a vaguely festive green and red patters and a wave to it, like wrinkled fabric. The middle band is less wrinkly, with a cross stitch like pattern- a red heart in the middle flanked by simple flowers of different colors. The closest band is not at all wrinkly, and is blue with a heavily stylized bird. The bird is outlined in black with a yellow to orange, sunset like gradient in the wings and tail. I was told by my beading teacher that it is a historic Native American pattern of a diving loon.

My first historic tablet weaving in progress, the simplest Oseberg pattern. One day I’ll get brave and do the complicated ones! Pictured: Close up of a narrow band weaving in progress hooked around a wooden loom peg. The pattern is simple and slightly asymmetrical, with repeating white parallelograms inside a plum colored stripe that’s just off center.

My first nepenthes, x Briggsiana, who is doing wonderfully and has been joined by a small gaggle of other neps that tolerate household humidity. I was lucky this was my gateway plant; it survived my beginner mistakes and I adore the dark color and wide peristome! Pictured: Three cheerful, fresh, dark red pitchers with slightly flared mouths hanging next to each other.

Brotchen, a long-haired tabby cat, intercepted the towels I was supposed to be folding. Pictured looking soulfully into the camera with her chin on some bunched towels. She knows how to pose!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
Several years ago I wrote a free tutorial for beaded hearts and LOVE letters that only requires one size of seed beads in two colors. It’s a stitch I devised that I call super right angle weave, or SRAW for short. You can find it here: https://lovebeadlove.blogspot.com/2017/07/sraw-puffy-heart-love-letters-by-gwen.html?m=1 #beading #love #mathart

The letters L, O, V, and e beaded with bead weaving. Also, there are three beaded hearts.
