  2. 6 small skeins of handspun yarn, each made from a different plant fiber. from top, we have flax (medium brown, rough); what is probably lotus (golden, shiny and soft); banana (white and semi shiny); hemp (light brown, rough); tencel (white and very shiny); ramie (a particularly small skein, white and semi shiny)

  9. a 3-image collage showcasing a leather crossbody bag. the leather body is brown and fairly simple. up the narrow sides, rope is laced through grommets in a style resembling a shoe lacing. the rope forms the handle and loops seamlessly through the other side of the bag, joining in one point in a figure-8 follow-through knot. At the bottom corners, there are small diagonal lines of stitching to give the bag a small lip around the base and ensure small objects don't slide out.

  10. a knitted swatch. it's mostly white yarn, but a grid of dark red- purple- green yarn that looks like a chain link fence is built into it. the diagonal lines are achieved with floats of yarn from one row, then picked up and knit into several rows later.
