   My sewing is kinda boring. Fur, plushies, cosplay, not much of anything really. Paws were handmade, Cosplay of Miho from Mega Tokyo was a mash up of storebought patterns, Mothman plushie from pattern by #CholyKnight

     The 2nd time I went "viral" was for my tiny #crochet #hamster hats. This was wildly wide-reaching. So much so I've put watermarks on the pictures now lol

     A *really* long time ago (like 20 fricken years ago?) I did #crochet of a popular-at-the-time flash animation, Blode & the Giant Bee (By Joel Veitch) - This was the first work I had that went "viral" kinda before "viral" meant popular media, promoted via b3ta newsletter (still going! go sign up!)

     I haven't done #cyanotype in years - I got frustrated as more and more papers turned to buffered paper formulas - Cyanotypes DO NOT like alkaline structures and the extra faff of soaking papers in acidified water, dry, then coat and dry, just drove me nuts.
     This is one of my favourite cyanotypes, it's of Winspit Quarry in Dorset, I dragged my huge old 4x5inch camera down to it.
