just a small note is that the text is sometimes hard to read when over similar colour portions in the background. you might like to experiment with contrasting outlines
To add to this, you should use a color contrast checker to make sure it is accessible for those with low vision, color blindness, or other visual impairments!
I am absolutely BAWLING at the video of the first ever sewing machine. A parent listening to their child and providing the means for that child to be successful? i am so happy I am inconsolable. And I hope the creator knows she is now inspiring future textile artists by showcasing a project that took time, dedication, and passion.
This is INSANE and it really is one of the best things I have ever seen. This is incredible and I love this, thank you so much for your work!! Incredibly inspiring :)
I love this! I’m a software engineer and have been getting into fiber arts in the past few years, this scratches my brain in the best way. Very inspiring!
This is so cool! To take your site to the next level, I recommend the following to help make your website more accessible to all (if you haven't already done so) - use background + text color combinations with high levels of contrast - add alternative text to your images - make sure your text can be picked up by a screenreader (typically if you can highlight it with your mouse you're good) Happy designing! ❤
@@micheller3251 me too I agree! I debated for a while if I wanted to go in this direction for fear of not seeming “professional” but then I thought that this would bring the right people to me :)
You can really see the immense amount of hours of work that went into every piece of the website, great job! I love that some people are going back to analog, hand drawn, handmade things - AI wishes it could do this! I bet this will definitely set you apart in Grad school, no way anyone else went this hard lol.
this is AMAZING!! as someone who studied both art and computer science, your portfolio tickled my brain in a great way and reminded me to keep working on my personal website where i mesh sketches and code!
i'm crying this the most intricate whimsical marvelous art piece i have ever seen!! am i allowed to say i feel so proud of you? so strange to feel pride for a total stranger?! but i'm celebrating you and your art anyway. i hope you're proud and amazed at what you brought into the world 💖💖💖💖💖 i also kinda cried at baby's meryl first sewing machine lmao
@@ScoundrelChestnut this is by far the sweetest message ever THANK YOU IM CRYING😭 I think you can feel pride for a stranger as I feel pride for you in that you leave such kind words to a stranger. Thank you so much and I’m inspired to leave kind words on the next beautiful thing I see thanks to you❤️
This is actually the coolest website, art installation, labor of love, expression of skill and ingenuity, and art portfolio I have literally ever seen. Immediately subscribed!!!!!
This is unbelievably cute!! It looks like such a fun website to visit and is so well thought out and full of you. Love the little hidden parts you can find by hovering your mouse around. Feels like a game!
What a unique and creative website! Looking at it in the video I'm concerned with it being not very accessible, as some have already pointed out (font is difficult to read, and does not have enough contrast to it's background). The menu, navigation and scroll direction is creative, but I wonder if works on mobile? I'd hate for someone to not explore your portfolio due to technical difficulties, so these are some things to consider :)
This is so insanely good and amazing; I sent to a friend to try to get it circulating! I feel so inspired to create right now! Thank you for sparking my creativity again :)
This is absolutely amazing. I embroider and have been hand sewing since I was a kid. I've been struggling to call myself an artist. I haven't been to art school and I don't sell my work. I'm mostly upcycling my own clothes, but anything else I make ends up being given away.
@@novarachnid you are an artist!!! I have been calling myself an artist for years before I went to art school this year. You are a maker and a creative no matter if you followed the “traditional path”!
I love that youve made your website to be like an exstention of your art practice! so many websites are so professional and follow like a standard everones agreed apon, this is so sick
you are SO cute and fun and creative and talented and i have NEVER seen a website/portfolio as unique and interesting as yours. you make me want to try textile arts again. nice work queen
THIS IS SOOOO GENIUS! i’ve been wanting to incorporate mixed media into my portfolio and as a lover of fabric and textiles (although my medium is video and photo) i wanted to incorporate those someway but didn’t know where to start, i just knew i had to scan something somewhere in the process. if you don’t mind sharing what platform you used to create the website i’d be really appreciative
I love this ideaaa. Your website is beautiful! Unfortunately, on mobile, some parts of the website don’t work- like the textiles and photography page. But still. A great concept nonetheless
@@KabangIAm hi!!!! I used Readymag because it’s so free! It definitely means you have to spend more time to get it perfect (also adjust mobile version of the site) but I think it’s worth it. I used to use Wix because they were quite free as well but I stopped using them when they fired employees for posting pro-Palestine things. Readymag is also a MEGA upgrade I think it’s so awesome!!!
@@JuliaOvelha hahahahahaha nope! I used a website called Readymag for my website but I embroidered a bunch of backgrounds to add a personal touch :) I’ll be doing another video on how I made aspects of my website when I have new pages to add so stay tuned!
@@ashy2074 I used Readymag as my platform but I inputted all my own backgrounds and watched a lot of Readymag TikTok’s and tutorials to find out about the fun things I could do!! :)
I study fashion in uni and this video just reignited my passion for being artsy and creative 😩Thanks for sharing this. Maybe I can create my version with my crochet pieces. I hope to see you around. I’m sure you’re gonna be HUGE. I feel lucky to discover you now.
This is so cool! How did you make this website?? I have a bachelor in webdesign and development but haven't practiced it in YEARS so sadly I have no idea how to code anymore, my website now is just with wix lol. Also I remember wanting to do websites like this at school (more with illustrations) and the teachers were complaining so much that it was out of style, I hated it because I thought it made the website a lot nicer! But it is harder to use on mobile :(
@@HippieHooray yes I need to fix the mobile lol it didn’t save the changes I made whoops! I used readymag so there was no coding involved, I’m thinking of making a little tutorial :)
@@merylprendergast yes please make a tutorial ❤ your video randomly came up on my home page. This is the type of website I would love to make for my bead embroidery, weaving and art.
just a small note is that the text is sometimes hard to read when over similar colour portions in the background. you might like to experiment with contrasting outlines
To add to this, you should use a color contrast checker to make sure it is accessible for those with low vision, color blindness, or other visual impairments!
The algorithm really popped off with this one. This is amazing and gives that like "ah! I need to create *now*" kind of inspiration.
@@Bruh-eq1km wow!!! What a compliment thank you so much!!
this is so fucking genius and beautiful and eclectic

This is absolutely sick and one of the most unique portfolios I’ve ever seen
loooove this so cool - would sooo be interested in hearin the process of makin it into a website !!
This is so cool! I love that more artists are starting to go back to personalized websites instead of being at the mercy of social media layouts
@@micheller3251 me too I agree! I debated for a while if I wanted to go in this direction for fear of not seeming “professional” but then I thought that this would bring the right people to me :)
this gave me the same nostalgia from when i would go onto doll game websites as a kid. I FUCKING LOVE YOU. This needs an award!
@@alohomoratarot I know EXACTLY what doll games youre talking about LOVE THEM thank you!!!
this is so cool and unique! the details like the little mouse cursor are perfect, I wish more artists made their portfolio this personal (:

This makes me think of old websites in the best possible way 💕

@@els1f I’m hoping everyone starts to bring that unique personal design back because I love it too! Thank you for the kind words :)
Love it! My first blog back in the day had elements created from textiles but was nowhere near this level of intricacy. So fun!
holy moly!!! this is insane work :DDDD amazing !!

A fine example of the best things youtube offers.
