In February I joined my annual Make-A-Thing-A-Day group that gathers on FB. I bought supplies and spent the month playing around with Zentangle tiles, neurographic art, and a new set of watercolor magic markers (which are the bomb!). All low energy and very manageable.

With the new meds and the progress I'm making, I hope to make it back to the pottery by summer, but until then, I'm having fun!

New #introduction post!

I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.

My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.

I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)

When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.

I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.

I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.

Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!

Hi. I'm Nikkiana.

I ask a lot of #questions so other people can find #answers to questions they don't know how to ask.

I have a background in #foss, #tech and #webdev, and I built my first website at age 13 in 1997. My expertise is in #css, #sass, and #frontendwebdev.

I am a #mixedmedia #artist interested in #collage, #NeurographicArt, and #musicproduction

I am particularly interested in the intersections of #art, #culture, #tech, #techliteracy, #music, #race, #mentalhealth, and #disability within #socialmedia.

I have two #cats named Izzy and Sally.

I read #tarot and #OracleCards. If you're interested in that, I use @nikkiana@witches.live for that content.

Available and interested in projects, interviews, and conversation.

Tips are welcome and appreciated so I can afford to continue to share my expertise freely, especially to others who would not otherwise be able to afford it. If you'd like to do that, there's a link in my bio.
