I’ve gained quite a few new people over here in the past few months so thought I should finally do one of these 😊 Text in the images: Meet the artist! Evan, they/them, 23 Likes Recycling Reading Campy horror Video Essays Limes Spider-Man The colour pink (duh) Dislikes Single use plastic Fast fashion Mushrooms Being late Itchy yarn Overhead lighting Each of my pieces is handmade and designed by me, unless stated it’s made using another artist’s pattern. My mission with creating my art is to always keep things as circular as possible, so the vast majority of all my materials is reclaimed or secondhand. I source materials from op shops, marketplace, and the community, to keep usable yarn from ending up in landfill. My work is inspired clowns, 80s horror films, and ocean life. I enjoy exploring fun shapes, textures, and colours in my work, which usually ends up with vibrant clowncore headwear that makes a statement. I’m always open to trades for my art! If you are interested in something I’ve made and want to do a trade, just send me a dm and I’m usually down. Or if you have a custom idea in mind I love working on commissions so just ask 😊 Here are some examples of things I would love to trade for, but if you make something different, I’d still love to trade!

My first filet crochet piece ✨ I used a 2mm hook and 130 grams of cotton thread If anyone has any advice about how to frame and display filet crochet I’d appreciate it since I haven’t yet figured out how I’m going to display this. I’m thinking I should probably frame it since it needs a dark background for the colour and image to pop, and hanging bare against a white wall does not do it justice.

It’s a little fishy pouch test 🐠 pattern by @hookandhexes This works up super quick and is such a fun little pouch. There are so many fun colour combos that would look amazing with this project, and it’s a good scrap buster. The pattern will be out soon so keep an eye out.
