#The Pile

[vincentbriggs]

Hi! I've been enjoying your work and seeing all of the pieces that you've made. I've started referring to all of my partially finished projects as "The Pile" as well now, and I get a little bit of satisfaction and amusement every time I go back and finally finish one. I was just curious how many projects your Pile consists of now. No pressure to answer!

Congrats on reducing The Pile!

I actually meant to say how many mine was at in the nightgown post, but forgot. (Though anyone can see it in the title of my main blog.)

It's 16, not including the thing I'm currently working on, because a project is only on The Pile if I set it aside and start something else, and the garment I'm working on is the most recent one I've started.

It was 25 on the first day of this year, so I'm making decent progress! I have started some other things since then, but I'm really trying to finish more things than I start.

When it gets really cold bluebirds roost together in a pile using their collective body heat to help them survive. They arrange themselves so they don't smother and alternate positions within the pile.

Bluebirds are smarter than many humans.

The urge to destroy and dismantle is too great…

Feast your eyes upon the Pile before all is evaporated…

NAME: The Pile

LOCATION: Gatlin Fields

Seven Peaks may have their fancy pants mountains that look over the town as proud landmarks, but Gatlin Fields isn’t without their own cherished peak on the horizon. Only it’s trash. The Pile is a literal mound of garbage that some people may even mistake as being part of the mineral abnormality from a distance. While folks casually use it as a dump to discard their belongings, there aren’t any trucks bringing waste here. The mound wasn’t actually started by humans at all, but a family of trash-obsessed spriggans, who both wanted to study people by way of their garbage and also collect choice bits for themselves. It was built quickly, over only a couple of years, and because of this, some of the less observant in the neighborhood think it must be divine. Most commonly the belief is that the Pile itself is a sentient being. 

The spriggan family lives inside of the pile and has a number of entrances and exits built that are hard to spot. While some wardens have tried to get rid of them, the garbage alone acts as a good deterrent to make them really consider if a few spriggans are worth the trouble.

It’s common for those in Gatlin Fields to come see the Pile and confide in it, even asking it for advice on navigating life’s hardships. One of the spriggans has taken on the role of advice-giver and answers back from within. This can lead to some unusual guidance.

Rumors of bonafide treasures within the Pile are true. But good luck finding them unless you’re also a spriggan.

All of the waste has caused a large number of gnomes to sprout up in the area, often forming fairy rings. The spriggans love having them here as an added defense, and can sometimes be seen partaking in fairy ring ceremonies themselves.

There’s also a beithir that sleeps coiled up in the deepest part of the Pile, emerging only during stormy weather. The spriggans have affectionately named it Curly Fry, but they fear it as much as anyone else.

Every once in a while, those digging through the mound might unearth a vampire or zombie that’s been buried there for many years. They’re typically driven into a feral state by their hunger.

I forgot to mention that the video is 28 minutes, and I show 16 things that are officially counted in The Pile, and a few other bits of projects that are in there but not counted for one reason or another.

This is the first unscripted bonus video I've made there, but I will definitely make more. They're so much faster to make than my usual sewing videos.

I made an unscripted video for Patreon showing all the unfinished projects I have in The Pile, and a pseudoscorpion made a surprise guest appearance! Love those little guys!!
