#makeup adventures

I did a quick costest for Vex'halia, since I've been so hyped for the new season! (Ignore the chain, I was wearing underneath the clothes I needed for one of my Boudoir phooshoots 🥲). I'm going to be honest, I only liked this picture from all the bunch I took.

I really love Vox Machina, and now that I did costests for Kiki and Vex maybe Pike is next? We'll see.

Bonus Kiki under the cut!

oooh is Gangle's design confirmed for your Gamemaster au? She looks great but it also said shes subject to change! (oh and is it okay to ship Ribbun in your au? I rlly like them hehe)

Yeah she's looking much better and concrete now:

I was struggling bc I wanted her ballerina outfit to be fully made of ribbons but could clip onto her body and be undid into long tentacles used for faster movement in adventures. That's still the case but her ribbons that the appearance of clothes and she can change their look at will!

In terms of her role in adventures, she's the best at close combat, especially with using her legs. Despite her tiny form, she's got a surprisingly powerful kick, and is the most agile and sneaky of the group.

And if you wanna ship GM! Ribbun then go ahead!! <3

Best possible reaction to a TPK. Absolutely unhinged.

“I was made to pass through fire”.

Ok, so… here’s the thing. Recently I watched the entirety of The Legend of Vox Machina and absolutely adored Kiki. And her relationship with Vax? Those two will be the end of me. So. I was watching clips on YouTube from the original stream, and I stumbled across one called “Scanlan’s gift at Vex wedding”. Thinking it was something funny, I watched it… THE MOST PAINFUL 12 MINUTES OF ALL MY EXISTENCE! And obviously, spoiled myself about what was in store for Vaxleth.

Feeling pain and looking for something that could cheer me up, I came here, with hope of finding lovely Vaxleth fanart. Which I did… AFTER I SPOILED MYSELF THE EPISODE 51 OF CAMPAIGN 3.

It was a lot of emotions in a span of 15 minutes, Matthew Mercer I’m in your walls, and I swear to god if Vaxleth doesn’t get their happy ending (which seems tricky in the middle of the end of the world that their love brought) I will die-

So anyways. That’s the story of why I rushed to make this little costest with stuff I had in my house. And also why I’m going to watch the entirety of Campaign 1. Wish me luck.

I am going to a wedding today! It's only later, but I'm singing at it so I have to rush to rehearsals and won't have time to do it later. Pretty chuffed with this look

Late night diary series part 2 🌙

I went to my first fiber festival this past weekend! Hoosier Hills Fiber Festival; if I'm still in this state come June next year, I'll probably be back and would love to meet anybody else there. Socializing/hanging out/talking to people without feeling like I was obstructing Real Customers was the one thing I missed, though I didn't really get to any of the free lectures so maybe that's where I could've met some people. Since it was an unknown situation with a lot of people and nearly an hour drive each way, I strategized to make sure I'd go:

First day, I signed up for a couple volunteer shifts. Absolutely a recommended strategy.

Got to be helpful!

They happened to have goodie bags, to help me justify the gas and time (I now have a nice tape measure to replace the one that's been vacationing with a missing sewing kit for a couple years and a lasercut wood two-inch gauge window that might help me with consistency versus my suboptimal practice of just trying to knit perfect squares when swatching in pattern)

I got to learn things about the layout and schedule I wouldn't know to ask when answering questions and acting as a gofer -- especially true working two different locations

And of course, some people were pretty much guaranteed to be happy to see me!

Second day, I signed up for a workshop in the morning so I'd be there and able to shop for anything I needed at the end. Ombre yarn dyeing was the class! It's acid dyes, something I'm several years off from wanting to get into enough to commit to dedicated cookware, full pots of dye powder, etc. The room with the workshop was a barn that had plenty of outlets--but they did not represent plenty of breakers. So there weren't quite enough functional heating elements for the class to have sufficiently cooked our yarn before leaving, and I did need to risk a giant stock pot at home for three batches of four jars, almost-simmering in a water bath for thirty minutes each, of the yarn that hadn't proven it was done (all but the two palest greens). I was a little worried the delay/drawn out heat situation would affect the results but if it did it wasn't much; I got pretty much exactly what I was hoping for with my two color gradient and the single is great too!

The single dye gradient is the color Moss, which did some interesting things with the red portion separating out once they were heated. Every skein has redder blotches, so I'm not bothered about any inconsistency -- if anything it'll help my finished product camouflage stains. Though it was definitely a surprise for me and the other Moss user in the class when our first yarn to have exhausted the dye was the complementary color to what it went in as.

The two color gradient used Rhodamine Red on one end, which was one end of one of our instructor's samples where she chose a cool-green for the other end to show how multi-component dyes mix less predictably than most paint. (It was kinda like shading with markers where you can still see washes of the pink and green in what you squint at and call a grey-brown.) The other end was Cantaloupe, which was one of the maybe three colors she didn't have a sample cut of yarn for. But she described it as the flesh of a perfect ripe cantaloupe and obviously I had to see that, and it sounded like it would be fairly guaranteed to combine nicely with the magenta while being just enough around a bend in the color wheel to be interesting--warm orange versus cool pink. As I said, it turned out pretty much exactly as I was picturing. Not anticipated was how much the jars looked like they were full of some delicious dragonfruit-mango beverage. Were I still a barista I'd be trying to recreate this for my shift drink.

Image descriptions under the cut.

[ID: Five images following fourteen small skeins of sock yarn dyed in individual glass jars, in two gradients. One gradient is six skeins from a medium forest green through a pale creamy pink, the other is eight skeins from a vibrant yellow orange through an even more vibrant magenta. The first photo is inside under fluorescent lights, showing the 32oz glass canning jars with metal lids and rings, full of dye and yarn on a table at the end of the class in which they were filled and heated for a short time.

The next two images are animated gifs. The first gif is two frames showing the finished dye jars sitting in grass, with their yarn and with it removed. The green gradient left only transparent blue color in its jars, and most of the pink to orange gradient's water looks more orange without its yarn, aside from the third and fourth jars from the orange end, which shade toward a neon lilac with the peachy pink yarn removed. The second gif is a view of the inside of the bright green wash bucket, with just the pink-orange yarn in it, then all of them mixed up, all as they were after a soak with the rust-brown water, in the first rinse, and that rinse water alone showing its transparent but still brown tint.

The last two photos show the gradients lined up along a weathered wooden bench on the side of a deck. The first photo has the wet piles of yarn bundled in front of each of their respective jars with remaining dye. The final photo has the clean, dry yarn wound into center-pull balls and still vibrant in the direct sunlight. End ID]
