A digital mockup of a 3 color print that may or may not happen. My plate is quite full. I constructed as much as possible from the same ratios, angles, & shapes as possible. The gold texture is a stand in for the gold foil or ink I'd like to use if this makes the leap to real media.

More spindle nonsense!

A sample of merino/silk blend. Doesn't look all that fine, but this is laceweight enough that I kept worrying about dropping the spindle. Which I haven't yet... aside from that one time where I forgot this isn't a bottom-whorl spindle and tried to get it started upside down, danged muscle memory.

This definitely doesn't feel like a beginner spindle and its rhythm doesn't exactly make for a leisurely spinning experience, it's so finnicky to keep steady (it's capable of spinning so evenly you can barely tell it's moving at all, but if you as much as draft too quickly, it'll tumble) and it's so goddamn fast you have to stay focused on it constantly, but it also makes spinning fine, even yarns pretty much effortless. If I wanted to spin cotton with a drop spindle for some fucking reason, I think this one would be the one to choose.

Unlike my bottom-whorl spindles, which are kind of ass to spin with sitting down, this one's also a perfect desk chair spindle; the timing of its spin just works out great for spinning shorter lengths at a time.

I am... really not looking forward to plying this stuff, lmao. A center-pull ball would be super annoying to wind AND likely tangle in the middle, and a plying bracelet would have me risking fingers given the length... and I hate chain-plying with a burning passion.

I'm also pondering 2-ply vs cabled 4-ply and am very muchly open to suggestions!

Gotta love that my privacy has never been respected in my god damn house

My grandma found and threw away the only paci I had that wasn’t in a box in a pile of other stuff

God I cant wait to move out.

[leavemebetosleep]

I either need to find a femme gf to give all this jewelry I have for some reason to or start selling some stuff bc I don't think I've ever wear half of these

people keep giving me these delicate sparkly pieces and I don't wear any of them. I like plain metal and leather and cartoony looking plastic stuff.

Coty powder compact designed by Leon Bakst, Made by Coty Inc in Paris, France, 1935-1955.

The founder, Francois Coty believed the aesthetics of the packaging to be as important as the product. After his successful artistic partnership with designer Rene Lalique in the early 20th century, Coty approached Leon Bakst to design the Air Spun powder box. Leon Bakst is celebrated for his colourful exotic costumes and decors created for the Ballet Russes, which prompted new fashions in dress and interior decoration. This colourful, exotic aesthetic can be seen in the design of the powder box, where fluffy white powder puffs with black and gold handles float against an orange and gold background. Bakst’s original powder box design was made of Moroccan leather with gold leaf embossing. However, these boxes were expensive to manufacture and Coty paid his customers to return them when empty. They were then sent to Japan where the gold leaf would be scraped off and then reused. Bakst’s design was later modified into a cheaper cardboard version by Coty’s commercial artist Georges Draeger. The design of the packaging created an impression of luxury and prestige, while still being mass produced. These ‘luxury’ items were made even more accessible to middle and working class women by packaging them in small quantities and creating gift sets and co-ordinating product lines. Coty Air Spun powder was very successful, selling in Europe, North and South America, Australia and Asia. It was so popular in Asia that the ‘Rachel’ colour was created specifically for Asian skin tones. Coty is an internationally renowned beauty product and fragrance company that was founded in Paris in 1904 by François Coty. The company was acquired by the fragrance division of Unilever in 2005. In 2010 Coty had it’s headquarters in New York City and had become the world’s largest manufacturer of mass-market fragrances, aligning many of its new fragrances with celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, David and Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez and Calvin Klein.

WIP | Art Deco Movie Theater + Vintage Offices

Actual movie theater exists but is not pictured (It''s fine I just think it's boring visually). 1st floor lobby/concessions, 2nd floor theater, 3rd floor gym/daycare [the lot is a rec center], and 4th floor pristine 1930s/40s-ish art deco style offices with a secret.

The box office holds a special place in my heart but I am actually quite thrilled with my bonus 4th floor offices.

Not yet playtested the areas that need to function/have access, but will upload to the gallery if I can work out all the quirks. For my other stuff for now check out: mondwaffeln
