posting a gift wip since I know my siblings aren't on here haha

#rug hooking #wip #purely personals #fabrication #older sis is getting a swan and bb sis is getting an otter #went out today and donated a bunch of yarn at an art supply swap thing #was nice that they had small amounts of yarn/not full skeins that other people donated #because I don't really need a whole ass skein especially if it's solid color #I just want bits and pieces so I can do stuff like the swan background #like this a lot more than latchhook; like latchhook would be pixel art and rug hooking is more like drawing/more freeform #oH it's also nice that all that yarn I prechopped for latchhook I can still use for rug hooking haha #also went to a fabric store and it was crammed full of stuff and the yarn selection was actually really nice #will def go back

Fashion of the Great Houses of Westeros: House Greyjoy of Pyke

#asoiafedit #valyrianscrolls #asoiaf #house greyjoy #greyjoyedit #housegreyjoyedit #costumeedit #im finding it hard to actually articulate the vibe i was going for/why i chose these outfits but like... y'all get it right?#thick fabrics bc it's rainy and cold #leathers and simple shapes for practicality #ornamentation is actually very common especially as a way to showoff what one's paid the iron price for #(or prized heirlooms from a great ancestor's exploits)#also it’s a shame the greyjoys don’t have a cunty evil ruling lady in their history who lived and died by the old way #ghf*#mine*

working in a factory has you thinking so much about the insane chain of labor & transport that goes into making literally anything

#like first you realize that You are making & doing things that you previously had thought - if you'd thought abt it at all - were automated #& you become incredibly aware of how all the materials you're working with came from somewhere - these plastic clips are from france; this #fabric is from india etc. and that there are people in factories there making those things and that they are also probably getting their #materials from somewhere #one of the little things that makes me think about this the most is we have these 50m rolls of cotton banding we see onto canvas & nets #and in theory it should be all one piece but sometimes it's actually two pieces which you discover when you get far enough in the roll and #find that there's a join where it's been stitched together by hand (!). which is a little annoying bc we can't use that bit so you have #to cut that but out & stitch it together again on the machine which interrupts what you were sewing before & slows you down But it's so #striking to me bc like it's really easy to look at this banding & it's so exactly the same & obviously machine made it's Really easy to #forget that there are people there running these machines. who notice there's a break & have to stop what they're doing & get a needle &#thread and stitch it together. by hand! like someone somewhere has handled exactly where I'm touching it & i don't even know where in the #world they are!#the other place this happens is often on the selvedge edge of the fabric there's writing in pencil i don't know ye meaning of but evidently #was important to the process somewhere & someone wrote that out #idk like it's really easy to watch those videos of really specific machines in factories & convince yourself that everything is automated #but the truth is the vast majority of stuff is not & is made by people doing that. & even when it is there are people running those machine #<- and i'm not saying this in a soppy way tbc. this whole system is a nightmare of exploitation & to some degree I'm just continually amaze #by how insane this whole process is & also how completely un-transparent it is unless you are made to think abt it #another thing is noticeable when you look at our orders that most of what we sell isn't to customers it's to shops who then sell to custome #which then makes you think like. those plastic clips from france are they actually made in france or are we just buying them from france?#are they actually made by underpaid people in a country the name of which is completely lost to the chain of production at this point #anyways none of this is new it's just when you are working in a factory using this stuff you start wondering like.#what's the factory like that the person who stitched this banding together like. what's their day like there #wish we could talk abt how fucked up this all is - for them especially probably - together #thoughts

in my textile work i have a favourite type of snips they look like ancient roman shears but theyre small and really sharp and inexpensive and ergonomic and i bought like a pack of 25 of them once and threw them everywhere like i stuff them in every bag i have and every part of my house so theres always a pair nearby for whatever project i'm working on. but like i said they're small and very sharp and tossed in random places so every time i reach into any bag or drawer i have to be mindful that there is a high potential that i will encounter the extremely sharp snips and i can't even begin to get into the amount of times i've stabbed myself with these things they are a constant hazard. if i was an npc in a video game my drop loot would be a bag of these things that cause a bleeding effect

#whenever i let anyone go into my bags or stuff i have to warn them to be careful because you will find one of these where you least expect i #those pointed tips especially are so sharp they can rip through thick fabric they can cut anything. INCLUDING flesh #so many times ive been like oh be careful there are really sharp scissors in there dont cut - (they yelp in pain) yup you found them

He sighed, hesitating a moment before taking his gloves off and setting them aside. He shifted Ellis to a more comfortable position before picking up the fabric the other had been trying to fix before passing out. After finding where he'd left off, he picked it back up, his stitches surprisingly tight and neat.

(( @ellis-the-lightguide reblogs got turned off, new thread time))

#destiny 2 #nocturne minsk #rp post #You can't tell me he can't sew #I feel like all guardians would know basic repair work but Warlocks especially know how to sew #Cause most warlock armour is 90-100% fabric #change my mind #(I think almost all of the fabric exceptions are with the Iron Banner armour but I could be wrong)#(I think maybe the DSC and RoN raid armours are exceptions as well but I have forgotten what they look like)

Don't We Make a Lovely Couple?

I literally. 💀 I commissioned this lovely set of Astarion and Ofelia in place of Dracula and Anna from Ven Helsing from @bby-bel-art !!! Bel did such a beautiful, wonderful, mind-blowing job and I haven't stopped staring at these for days 🥺❤ THANK YOU SM FRIEND 🖤

This was not only a recreation of these scenes from the movie, but of @caffeinatedmunchkin's amazing 2 part fic (which you can read here and here!) of Ofelia and Astarion and their fun adventures jumping through vampire flicks from Earth- I literally cannot describe it well enough to do it the justice it deserves, but I strongly, no DIRELY, recommend anyone read it- it's beautifully written and completely separate to the fic, that you wouldn't need to read mine at all to enjoy it- as long as you like Astarion, BG3, and creatures of the night, then you're set!!!

I'm honestly still in shock about it, and I never felt I deserved anything so wonderful and thoughtful, but I am eternally grateful and I would like everyone who can, to please shower Rose and Bel in endless love for these beautiful pieces of art. I love you guys so much and I never would have thought playing this game a year ago'd bring me such lovely, kind, beautiful people 💕 You have my heart forever 💖

litany of the martyrs (click for better resolution!)

#at some point i wanted to make an illustration for each character but in retrospect maybe each is multiple song-coded..#drew the sketch for a quincy thing after a chat with a mutual reminded me this song existed dfsghjkl and then spent weeks rendering this #quincy cynthius martin #adamandi #i'm finally done with this! the saints especially were joys to paint and the halo a menace.... this has been the most ambitious one so far.#but it also took quite long because i only worked on it <engages with quincy> when mentally okay to deal with the themes. i'm not religious #but i do identify with the irrational(?ish) guilt + family legacy + academic achievement + disregard for self. also more complex thoughts #about love [but depsite quincent being a large part of quincy's character this piece deals with mostly the Rest of it. so another time..]#anyways! in the original sketch- the saints had heads bent towards quincy so the halo spikes pointed at him. but this worked better! halos #of the saints implying/creating one for quincy was a concept from the start though. in the show they don't touch him directly here but #differences in mediums i think- i don't have time in an image to craft a narrative so everything has to be happening. also artistic liberty #misc inspiration for this includes stained glass windows. i might have maybe misinterpreted the saint costume but i think i logic-ed it out #as the cloth part following a nun's habit w the hood. and then halo above. the material is also more transparent originally but i had. um.#too much fun painting fabric folds.. if you look closely you can see the basis of faces though behind the cloth; but only the vague shapes #because smth obscurity + inhumanness// cassian is the only one i gave a mouth though. that stems from melliot's post about the saints and #st cassian as spokesperson (<- did research teehee!) that's also how i found out which costume = which saint. speaking of which.#left to right: 'st lucy take my hand' // 'st lawrence give me strength' (presses quincy forward; but hand on shoulder connotates guidance)#/'st cassian help me smile' (quincy's mouth is btwn a grimace and a smile; tilts up at side. also no direct touch bc added insidiousness.)#//'st jude [...] i hope your causes burn' (jude's hand is in two places to show movement- nearing the flame and then snatching back; burnt)#other notes: at the midst of the flame the core is shaped like a human heart /the saints and their wax are all melting like the candle for #fun visual effect and also this way they are even less tangible <real>. perks of painting as a medium i guess. // also insp from icarus?#wax and burning imagery; looking at the halo and rays as parallel to sun that burns. too close to the sun; melting; hurting; hurtling //#candles at bottom are a nod to the frankly gorgeous set// also the entire composition kind of stems from the lyric <what use is a candle if #both ends aren't burning>; the two sides between the concepts of catholic guilt and academic perfection that spur quincy #the halo above (saints and guilt; litanyofthemartyrs) and the 'halo' below (academic papers; insp from choreo for perfect at school)#the papers were originally supposed to be more glowy. but i like the idea of it now being a reflection of how quincy's priorities shift #also of note is that <candle> in centre = quincy; w burning candle + aforementioned heart in flame -> most human; idea of love + passion #last thoughts: kneeling + hands close tgt = prayer //wax dripping onto the red As make an effect that looks like blood. because i like #hiding that within the adamandi pieces :OO continuity!! // i've run out of tags but yeah! had fun with this one! every so often i go a #little insane in making art and the final result astounds even me. ngl i'm quite proud of this one. pretty colours <3333

wren 🪶 ・ entertainer ・ bard/fae warlock ・ absolutely mid at everything 👍

his lore is linked to yves (he’s her dream guardian!!!)

#mine.#dnd oc #oc: wren.#actually I really love his costume LOL it’s supposed to be handmade that’s why he has that trim on everything #and he ran out of fabric to make his other legging so he just made it like a sexy stocking situation #and mismatched boots!!!!!! he’s missing the other pair #in terms of personality he’s like book howl + ouran tamaki but more cowardly and pathetic and he runs away when there’s conflict #and he’s constantly plagued with guilt 👍 especially over yves 👍#also he’s a hoe in theory but not in practice as in someone flirts with him and hits him with the haha and then what he actually doesn’tm #know what to do next he’s like 🧍#also MUCH to say abt his relationship with his patron but for now part of his pact is that he’s required to carry that branch ^ around #and it’s like this thorny branch with yew tree leaves….the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn real!!#I like this format tho I want to do this w my other gworls

Did you manage to go to the sewfisticated sale before it closed? They had some interesting silks I haven't seen there before, made me think of your gowns

Oh my god. No, I just got home from traveling for Christmas.

I didn't know and I'm honestly heartbroken. Apparently the Dorchester location is staying, but the Somerville one (more accessible to me) is gone.

This feels like another good thing is gone from the world. I mean, how much longer will the store stay open? Will I end up in the same position as most people- unable to buy natural-fiber fabrics at all unless I spend a ton of money online?

Why does everything related to clothing suck now, and keep getting worse?

I'm on the verge of tears here.

#ask #boggbitch #sewing #boston #it gets harder and harder to have decent clothes in this world #especially in the style I prefer #and their fabrics are LABELED which a lot of other indie fabric stores don't do #I could go to another place and guess but I don't want to do that #and you can't burn-test in the store so....

Okay but am I reading too far into it or is there some twisted irony in the fact that he’s going into the woods (Katniss) for his “work” whatever that turns out to be and he’s wearing a repurposed flour sack (Peeta) as his underwear?

#could have picked almost any food container made from fabric #Suzanne went with flour #feels too deliberate to not mean something #especially in the first friggin chapter

something something Perona and Mihawk were never anyone’s priorities/first choice (Moria was still grieving his original crew as he acquired new crew members and even then didn’t bother to form actual bonds with them; Shanks had already formed a crew and thus people were relying on him) but they chose each other (Perona returning after dropping Zoro off at Sabaody; Mihawk planting cocoa trees (!!!!) and making sure she escaped before the Navy landed on Kuraigana)

#we still don’t know what happened with Mihawk but DAMN if he doesn’t have some issues #do you ever think Mihawk told himself he wanted a quiet life but after Zoro and Perona left he started to hate how lonely Kuraigana felt #do you think he did a double take every now and then when he remembered they wouldn’t be back by dinner #and then Perona comes back! She said she would look for Moria but she’s back!#the dining table is covered in sewing supplies and pastry recipes are back in the kitchen and there’s a stuffed animal on every sofa #She’s loud and stubborn and messy #and Mihawk knows that things disappearing from his wardrobe into the fabric stash is something he will gladly allow #especially if it means he has something- someone- to hold onto #frogmade #one piece #perona #ghost princess perona #dracule mihawk #goth family

"Try the Turkish cast on!" the pattern said. "It will be fun and so tidy!" the Internet said.

I have been tricked into using magic loop

#knitting #knitblr #knitting humor #no disrespect i just genuinely prefer dpns #and especially dont get ne wrong #this cast on slaps #but i WILL be switching to dpns when i have enough fabric
