It's Done!

Three months of work from start to finish! All so I could finally present to the world:

Pocket, Minecraft Edition:

Some standard rambles and fun progress images under the cut :)

So, I started this project in early August, mostly as something I could do during downtime of a then upcoming trip.

I had seen some absolutely amazing art pieces by @royalnaym which kinda gave me the idea that minecraft rendered in pixel art has a pretty interesting while still very recognizable look. At the same time I came across @groupcritpowerdynamics 's speedrun pastel pieces and those really inspired me to try depicting my favourite game in one of my favourite mediums!

In the middle of August 6th, while in the middle of packing for my trip to the UK, I decided I wanted to do this and I wanted to have it to work on during the trip, so I loaded up minecraft and went looking for a screenshot worthy of immortalization. Unfortunately I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for so I made a brand new world and started looking around for the right vibes.

I knew I wanted a lone tree, and that if I ended up including the hot bar I wanted some hearts and food missing, so after running around for a few minutes I decided I would just do it myself and planted a sapling to serve as my centrepiece.

I gotta say I think the resemblance is striking!

And now as promised, the progress gif: mind the slight flashing, I did take these in all manner of different places including but not limited to: a plane, a handful of buses, and a small inn on the shores of England (not in that order).

It's pretty neat to me that you can see how different tones of lighting affect the perceived colour of the thread, I definitely noticed it more on this piece verses other larger stitch projects.

Happy Merlin anniversary to all who celebrate!

I started making this cushion cover 2 years ago, after a lot of not working on it, I finally finished it this afternoon.

'upastige draca' is the incantation Merlin uses to make a dragon for his Pendragon after revealing he's magic. I had briefly considered thank you or hold me but @mid-n0vember's suggestion was better.

Begin with a balbis on its side. Within the two spaces, a circle marked by a single dot.

Beneath this, a pair of concentric circles. Within the annulus, an ovoid with a slit - a staring eye.

Under that, a lemniscate over a heptagram, and three parallel lines beneath.

These are the marks of the Many Below.

Some yarn crafts I've been working on lately.

I added some stitching to a sweater with some multicolour earth-toned yarn. I think it works well with the embroidery I previously did on it.

I did some more yarn stitching onto a plain brown cardigan, I changed the buttons too. I tried out doing a couple spiral sun patterns on the pockets, I'll be adding more to the rest of the sweater as well.

I also did a bit of knitting. I had to refresh myself on the garter stitch, because it's been a while since I first tried it out, then I learned how to do the stockinette stitch for the first time! <|:) It's not perfect, but I don't need it to be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm just trying to enjoy making stuff.

Happy Solarpunk aesthetic week!

This semester I took a textile surface design class and this is the result (I may actually post more stuff from this class as the week goes on, teehee)! I mended a friend’s skirt with sashiko-inspired techniques and natural dye samples (mostly indigo). The sashiko meant that I could leave lots of raw edges that make the project look more organic. It’s a lovely skirt, and it’s so old that it has an Illinois garment union tag on it. Imagine buying a new garment from an American union. Imagine knowing your garment worker was well-paid and well-treated. That’s the dream.

Completed my latest embroidery project!

Was supposed to be done for Disability Pride Month, in July, but ironically health and chronic illness got in the way of that. But finally done now!

Was a post I saw uploaded on one of the different groups I follow for motivational posts about dealing with fibromyalgia. This one felt just too perfect, I just had to use it to make a pattern for an embroidery.

Pretty happy how it turned out. Sadly the choice of colour for the drop shadow of the letters might been too soft a tone to notice very well. But besides that, I think it turned out pretty good.

So do enjoy!

Inspired by this post. We needed to mend a new tear in our pants and chose to secure the patch with some really fun embroidery.

Finished the rainbow shorts!!!

haul of a girl that can't pick a substyle

my first brand swimsuit and an usakumya necklace i was very excited about finding!!

i was missing several of the early volumes of GLB and was able to fill in the gaps with a few of those. i've been interested in researching the history of the fashion recently so i'm constantly hunting for old magazines! i've added GLB volumes 1-4 & 6 & 49--as well as "Frill" volume 1 and the "Maison Gothic & Lolita Style" book to my media collection.

a metamorphose Alice OP (2000) that i got on auction!! the double sleeves and center buttons down to the bottom are my favorite. it didn't come with the apron, but i was lucky enough that the one from a different Alice OP, also from the year 2000... was on auction on a different platform at the same time. i bought them separately intending to pair them together! i quite prefer the style of this rounder edged apron rather than the more squared top one it's meant to go with.

this is actually the dress that made me realize the Alice OP Set on lolibrary has a long version (similar to the maid OP from 2003 mini & long or the nun style OP mini & long)--i'll have to remind myself to submit a correction for the current OP to indicate the mini variation, and to submit a new entry for the long length one if i can manage to find more information... though i had no idea of its existence until recently! from an old LM sales listing, i found that the mini length is around 88 cm, whereas this one is 125 cm. i severely underestimated the length of this and it's down to my ankles, but i suppose it'll be my first long dress ^_^

I am finished. It is done. I have finished my next embroidery project. Behold....

A(s)loth

Based on the wonderful work of @solas-backpack-mug, thank you for giving me permission and for always having lovely comments on my progression!

This took me almost exactly two months to make. It was a lot of fun and I did learn a lot. I probably would do some things differently if I did it again, but I am proud of how it turned out, i think it looks great.

Figured I would show u guys my new hobby! I’ve been learning embroidery and just finished this mushroom kit I got on Amazon. It’s really fun and relaxing, and it’s nice to create something with my hands <3
