I'm a rookie textile artist who dabbles in quilting, knitting and spinning. I love to work from my bed, especially if my room has a window with a nice view.
here is my portfolio, where you can find my photography work and a preview of my poetry zines: https://alixlabelle.com/
during my time at the residency, I did some dyeing with local mushrooms like cortinarius and sarcodon squamosus. it was really fun to walk around in the forest surrounding the area during the end of mushroom season with my basket and picking the best looking mushrooms! i ended up with four skeins of lettlopi icelandic yarn.
while at hub feenix, i worked on some small handsewn patchwork quilts and sketched out some new ideas for the next ones! apart from the artistic work done there, i had a great time going to the sauna each week, playing games with all the volunteers, eating piparkakku, talking to the sheep and building a snow woman!!
