Only 23 more rows to knot and weave (plus, there's the 15-20 cm of plain weaving). On a "good" day, I can do 5 rows, working around all the little intrusive household and family obligations. It can be annoying having to eat.

A very close-up shot of the knotted wool yarn in a thick and dense pile. The pile is vertical, so only the ends of the yarn threads are visible, scrunched together, looking very pointillist with uneven texture. The colours are pale pink-grey, teal, and yellow-green.

I like the idea of #PortfolioDay. It has a huge range of skills and techniques on display! Here's my contribution: I'm a visual artist who specialises in #AbstractPainting, #PortraitPainting, and #Taideryijy (art woven wall hangings also known as #rya). I'm currently working on #FirePaintings for an upcoming solo exhibition in Oulu, Finland. Oh, I also like to paint cats, microscopic single-cell creatures, and landscapes.

Thick pile woven wall hanging depicting abstracted flames and smoke motif: teal billowing clouds rise up the vertical composition, overlapped and merging with red flames, creating purple and black shapes, all on a grey background.
