Good day and welcome to The Art Alchemist's Guild.

This is a dark place.

Most art will leave you feeling inspired, maybe even joyful — if not a little thoughtful. Not this art.

Most art makes people better, but this place can only make you worse, poorer, stained, and consumed by the craft.

All flavors are welcome to:

Be kind

Do onto others with kindness, curiosity and civility.

Please include images

Remember to attribute other's work, tag NSFW and Content Warnings if necessary, and describe with alt text for our differently sighted pals.

No AI*

This isn't a community for AI *unless you've built it yourself and trained it on your own work.

Tags are Optional

Make 'em up if you need 'em.

On Self-Promotion

We all need to put food in the ferret bowl, but let's not talk money here. If someone asks to buy something, please take it to DMs.

!artmarket@lemmy.world and !artshare@lemmy.world are geared toward self promotion if you want to cross-post.

Just playing around with some pre-reduced indigo to dye some muslin fabric and wool yarn. If I'd followed instructions I would have use thin cotton fabric and soaked the fabric a couple of hours before hand for a more uniform result.

That's really cool, the yarn looks lovely. Did the ruffled piece produce the stiped cloth on the right of the curtain rod?

Yes! I folded the cloth accordion style and then did a basting stitch through all the layers and sinched it together tightly using cotton string. Thank you so much for the compliment :)
