Reproduction Textiles! 

Link here.

I'm currently working my way through the research paper that is linked in the text and describes the piece that the reproduction is based on. The paper is fascinating too!

shit that looks amazing
fuck i have to learn to weave
dammit i need to actually buckle down on spinning

[unicornduke]

I am 50 pages into the 192 page linked research paper and I'm learning SO MUCH

I also need to learn weaving it looks so cool. I still have a whole article somewhere about backstrap weaving that I need to get into. at the rate I'm going though, I'm just going to spin things forever, which isn't a bad thing.

I learned about warp weighted looms which are cool are shit

anyway I hereby petition someone to pay me money to sit around and do fiber arts all day in the winter and grow food in the summer, I'll do it.

I sometimes wish we could get universal basic income in my lifetime because that would be amazing but I know it won't ever happen
