prompt: a character with your MBTI type OR a character that shares your birthday

this is probably the 3rd time I’ve taken that MBTI test and I swear I always get a different result 😭 I’m an ISTP this time around, think I was INTP last time, oh well. I couldn’t pick just one character that is an ISTP, so I chose 10 from some of my favorite medias lmao. bonus silly edit under the cut ehe

The Making of Strange Flower

Somehow I never showed my process of strange flower's creation. Below are the materials and steps.

Materials I used:

Yellow wool (mine was yellow yarn that I carded myself with a carding brush / pet brush)

Cheaper white core wool (mine was recycled fluffs from poly batting of my pandemic-era grocery delivery packing liners)

Glass pins for eyes

Air dry clay (mine was green paper clay and wood pulp clay but you can color air dry clay with some acrylic paint)

Wood glue (for water resistance), or PVA glue (if you don’t care for water resistence)

A good stick. I got mine from an old messed up artificial flower.

Felting needles

Felting base foam (I used recycled polyurethane packing foam blocks from my online orders)

To make a strange flower:

Start by felting the base of your flower’s face. You can speed up this process by wet-felting with soapy water mid way. It should end up looking like a concave cookie.

Then start to layer some yellow wool on top of your core wool cookie. Cover all the whites.

Then start to add details like cheeks, chin, and lips. You can test-place your flower’s eyes to better figure out the placement of your flower’s cheeks.

Then cut your glass pins short, bend the pin slightly downward (so it’s long enough to hold its position but won’t stick out the back of your flower’s head), and insert the beady eyes.

Start molding the desired flower petal shapes of your choice. I wanted mine to be plump. So I made it plump. Let it dry a bit. Then I added a water-down layer of wood glue and smooth out my clay petal. Poke a hole at the center of the petal about the size of the artificial stem.

Tip: If you’re also using an artificial flower stem, try to mold the base of your flower petal to fit into the stem head’s shape. Mine was a bit flat and ended up having a big gap and I had to use more glue to fill the void and it took ages to dry. Save any artificial petals you can salvage. Incorporate the ones that work with your strange flower. The rest can be materials for another project someday.

Once completely dry, pin your petals onto your artificial flower stem with some wood glue or PVA glue at its base.

Once the clay petal is dried and secured on the artificial flower stem, carefully poke your flower head on top.

And a strange flower is born! 🌷

the Spectacular Rustgill (Gymnopilus junonius)!

always a favourite of mine to see as they grow in clusters that bunch tightly together at the base of trees or old stumps. related to the psychoactive mushrooms in the Psilocybe genus, but containing no psilocybin itself, this mushroom is inedible (but does turn green when cooked!) and some specimens have been found to contain neurotoxins. not good eating but always a joy to find!

Elanor is a fictional flower that grows in Lorien. It's described as a golden star-shaped flower, and its name means "sun-star" in sindarin. Sam Gamgee named his eldest daughter after this flower, as per hobbit tradition to give flowery names to girls

New sticker design alert! Along with my respect the insects sticker design, I’ll be debuting this new fish sticker on April 20th

Last Saturday and Sunday, I went to see the cherry blossoms at a local cherry blossom viewing spot.

I was able to take some great photos with the hololive stuffed animal, hololive friends with u.

Cherry blossoms are beautiful flowers.

It is beautiful because it is fleeting.
