Attempting to sew during this dark side of the year is tough, the light is only really good for a few hours and then it becomes harder to see 🧐 hence my scowl of concentration as I add some contrasting strands to this wig.

Two very very early XPHAIEA creations... the trolls Grizzluth and Kiraeth.

I've progressed a lot with construction and finishing since making these but they still have an essence of what my work has become.

From a few years ago...

"Allowing myself some time to just experiment with wrapping objects to make tiny doll figures, nails, keys etc, with scraps and bits" ✨

Someone tried to make the spider MIDI into music. (well... in fact they interpreted it as a square wave which is less exciting IMO)

It's being called "spider wave"
