what lino do you use cus i tried some random grey lino from my art store and it curled so badly :( ive mostly been using speedball easy carve the pink one but its kind of expensive lol

i am gonna be SO real with u most of what i've been using has been. pretty terrible blick golden-cut lino-- it's what my professor has a ton of, it's pretty sturdy & wont squish in the press, fairly easy to cut & holds a nice clear line, cheap as dirt <33

BUT!! also i recently got a couple sheets of battleship grey from jackson's online + they're lovely.... more expensive (like $5 for a 20x30cm sheet) but heavier & i adore the way they carve... haven't printed anything with them yet but ill let u know how it does when I do!! :]

you spin yarn? :O whats that like ive been really wanting to try it!! also pomegranate molasses sounds delicious

yeah!!!!! i'm super new to it but it's SO fun!! it's a really neat like, hands-on hobby-- pretty much everything like knitting or sewing or embroidery or what have you has like, a big you-should-really-pay-attention-to-this component, right? you need to keep your eye on yr pattern or yr stitches or smth. spinning (at least, what i've been doing-- just plain single ply + using my ma's ashford double drive spinning wheel) is like... once you get the hang of it it's almost subconscious. there's barely any thinking component to it, other than like, adjusting the tension occasionally, making sure yr spinning evenly, etc. it almost kind of reminds me of driving on a highway? you have to keep focused or you'll fuck up, but after a while it's really just. mostly muscle memory. also it's SO fucking satisfying it's just so fun oh my god. really rewarding to see you have a whole spindle of yarn you made. also it's like, quicker & therefore more instant gratification than knitting or something!! theres also probably just an adhdautism aspect of "this is just a simple repetitive rhythmic motion you keep going" that's... very alluring sdkfdgkf.

i just read ur tags abt the origins of street fashion & it is so interesting!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!! ahhh hi miso! & yeag... 70s-90s japanese avant-garde fashion is. something i'm SO autistic abt & love dearly.. the emphasis on pure shape & color + interaction btwn fabric & texture is like, wildly different than what european designers were doing at the time & it's. very cool i think !

top 5 pastries from anywhere you've ever been

OKAY!!! oh this was a FUN one.. lots of going through the mental rolodex. okay. these hmm.. maybe not all the Best but certainly the ones that have left an Impact, u kno.

NUMBER 1!! is fresh croissants + nutella from a gorgeous hotel we stayed at the first night we got to france a couple years ago. our flight landed at like, 2am and we were lost and jetlagged in the middle of the night in toulouse until some kind gentleman pointed us towards the hotel... all the hotel hallways were painted dark red + lights in a fair amount of european hotels are different than in the us in that u have to stick yr room key in a thing 2 keep the light on. which we didn't know. anyway tldr we hadnt slept for like 40 hours and thought we were gonna get murked BUT!!! when we went downstairs in the morning there was a wonderful excellent breakfast cafe. & i had one of the best fresh croissants of my LIFE!!

number TWO is torta de santiago from when we were in galicia on the same trip!!!! i love torta de santiago it is a very dense but. still fluffy? almond cake where the ingredients are like,,, 90% just almonds. and ohh god. this part of spain was one of the most beautiful places i've been. we sat outside and had this + spanish hot chocolate and it was absolutely wonderful. honorable mention to actual spanish churros btw.

number THREE is this FUCKING RIDICULOUS crepe i had in montrèal when i was still in school in upstate new york. fucking insane. i ordered like the most simple basic strawberry nutella crepe and it was this massive elaborate MONSTER of a pastry that filled the entire plate and went off the plate a little and was elaborately festooned with whipped cream and shit. i don't have a picture i think and i can't find any that are as impressive. but. oh my gd. it was amazing.

number FOUR is ANY CROISSANT I'VE HAD IN NYC ESPECIALLY IN GRAND CENTRAL STATION. literally top tier experiences ever are spending the day in the city & getting a croissant for the ride home. and a sandwich for breakfast. this goes double for washington dc and union station tbh because i've honestly spent more time on the dc metro system than i have almost anywhere else. but nyc is special 2 me :] i <3 overpriced croissants and fancy coffee.

number FIVE is CUSTARD PANCAKES from a PANCAKE TRUCK SOMEWHERE NEAR STROUDSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA. i do nottttttt remember where exactly except i think it was somewhere around 209? i have pictures somewhere on a different phone i'll have to look it up. anywhere i have no idea where we were going but!!!!! it was about 7am or so in the spring, cold, lovely morning, & we saw it as we were goin past & we were both like omg!!! stop stop we gotta go there!! and we DID!! and it was DELIGHTFUL!!! excellent fancy pancakes bustling cheery cute place. wonderful memory 2 me :]
