Unraveling Night
A gift and a test and maybe slightly a bit of a failure but in a "yeah, okay" sort of way. Woven on a much smaller makeshift loom and using what was ultimately a rougher and stretchier warp yarn than I'd used before, the initial blue worked out flawlessly. Then the purple. ...The pink started off fine and then for whatever reason proved to be rather easily pulled apart by said warp yarn no matter how much I tried to compensate with extra twisting, and so they were fighting up until the end, the pink yarn fluffing up and coming apart, but it actually looked kind of neat and there was no structural integrity lost, so. Art.
The stretchy yarn was at least well suited for the very simple macrame band. As for the tiny silver beads, what can I say, it needed stars.

I got mad. :) But I am quite used to making use of rage batteries. You know how it is, you gotta take all that rage overflow and do something beautiful with it to counteract all of the metaphorical mountain climbing you're going to have to pace yourself for.
I picked the specific phrasing because it's accurate no matter how you read it. This is a woven piece made from recycled acrylic-wool blend yarn (used for the warp) and one of the lovely multicolored acrylic yarns I got in a clearance bin some years ago (used for the weft). The metallic effects thread was for another project that I ultimately used something else to get similar effects on, so it was nice to find out that this particular thread wasn't quite as annoying as it could have been.
All of this was an experiment. From having made the loom I used to weave it on myself, to the style of weaving, to every part of the embroidery and not actually doing much planning for the lettering (obviously). I love it. I want to do more.
