Tiny Terzo Reliquary!

It’s finally finished! I decided to keep the embellishments to a minimum instead of doing a lot of tiny paper cutting when my hands have been really stiff with the cold weather, but I absolutely love how it turned out!!!

He now lives with my other little figures on my music shelf and I’m already planning to make one for my Copia figure when I get it next year >:)

Compiled progress shots and thoughts on the project below the cut! (Heads up, I ramble a lot)

If I was to make it again I would definitely have planned the roof section better and made the base in full panels instead of sections to minimise seams. I also would make sure I painted the inside before construction and put the plastic for the windows in last instead of having to mask them off for painting.

It’s made of a combination of 1mm and 2mm mount board (also called chip board I believe?), clear plastic from some packaging, stretch velvet and bamboo toothpicks. Ideally, I would have made it from acrylic because that’s much stronger but that would require a laser cutter or a jigsaw, two things I don’t have lol but the mount board takes paint much better without needing too much priming and sanding and cuts much easier with a scalpel.

I crocheted the lace using single strands of embroidery thread and a .6mm crochet hook. It was the first time I ever did any crochet on that scale and it was actually really fun and I’m planning a few more crochet lace projects in the future. Although I don’t recommend doing micro crochet if you’re very tense and have long nails because I was putting SO MUCH pressure on my thumbnail on the hand I was holding my work with that I actually had to take a break overnight because my nail bed was starting to hurt and didn’t stop hurting for like four days. Learn from my mistakes. If anyone’s interested, I put the stitches I used on one of the older update posts but it’s a very basic row of double crochet scallop stitches on a base of a single row of slip stitches to keep it small

The tufting on the back plate was done by marking out a lattice grid on a rectangle of mount board that was slightly smaller than the space it would sit in on the removable plate and punching the holes with my awl. I then chopped up some foam from an old bra that I’d already harvested the hooks and eyes from and glued that to the piece of mount board before covering with some stretch velvet. I tried doing the tufting in a few different ways. Originally I wanted to do it just with little French knots to look like buttons but I ended up not liking it so I took them all out and tried a couple of different methods for doing a lattice before landing on what you see in the photos. I went over in one long stitch along all the left to right diagonals and then did the same with the right to left diagonals and put in tiny couching stitches at all the intersections through the holes in the mount board to pull them in and give it that tufted look

I’ve really missed doing things like this. I went to college to study model making because my dream was to work in theatre either as a prop builder or set designer but with my disabilities I realised that kind of career that required a lot of work with heavy machinery and a lot of time on my feet isn’t a viable choice for me, so it’s nice to get back into something I’m really passionate about while also making something relating to my special interests

if i'm being entirely honest i find the term "spiritual psychosis" annoying at best. it makes me feel as though i, as someone with schizoaffective disorder, need to work extra hard to "prove" my spiritual beliefs are valid.

here's the thing. my spirituality has always been and will always be flavored and colored by being schizoaffective. even when i was an atheist i could not untangle the two. there's never going to be a way for me to know where the line is drawn between my spiritualism and my psychosis. for example i will probably never shake the idea that i died and was resurrected, and that event holds SIGNIFICANT spiritual meaning for me, even on antipsychotics, even when i can recognize that yes, it's probably the remains of a delusion.

so please tell me, why is it anyone else's business if i incorporate that into my religious practices? it harms no one and gives me one more reason to rejoice. if it started causing actual problems, putting me in danger, causing me distress, bringing along disorganized thinking or anything of the sort, that's when it would be time for me to get help. but really and truly i would not want random people im not close with to tell me to get that help, especially if their only clues into my mental state come from my spiritual practices. i am not a dog to be taken to the vet. sometimes people are psychotic and we exist in your communities and we have religious beliefs and you have GOT to suck it up and allow space for us, however our conditions affect us and our practices.

it's also just. buries my face in my hands. you can just say psychosis, you don't need a special term for it. again it just makes me feel like i'm being singled out and not being taken seriously because there's a long LONG history of psychotic/schizospec people having our mental illnesses used as reason to disregard us. please just mind your business.

HOLY SHIT

Bridgerton season 3 episode 7

i have thoughts (this will be long)

So first let me establish some context between me and Benedict Bridgerton:

since the very first moment he sat on that swing next to Eloise I absolutely needed him to be queer. I knew it in my bones that that was what he needed to be. And I was so completely prepared to be cheated out of it! Yes, they had him meet a gay man, but I was ready for that to go absolutely nowhere. I was ready to live with my wants and needs and leave the show to screw me over. And Benedict is my favorite character! Always has been, probably always will be. When I see his stupid smile, I just get such a sense of joy. Maybe it’s because I’m just a raging bisexual, but I really liked him.

next, let me tell you that I am bisexual and polyamorous. I have a boyfriend and a girlfriend, and I love them both incredibly. You can probably imagine that there is not much representation for people who are polyamorous. I was ready to live with that. I was ready to live with the death of my ideas of queer Benedict, and I was ready to live with a hole in my heart where a polyamorous character was meant to be.

but I WAS NOT LET DOWN! Bridgerton didn’t let me down! Benedict kissed a woman, and then he kissed a man, and I was left gasping on my couch crying such tears of pure joy!

I was not cheated out with a love triangle. I was not left hanging with jealousy and arguments. I was given the gift of a character realizing both his bisexuality and polyamory, and I am in love with it.

I had a little space carved out in my heart for Benedict. I was ready to have him be queer. I’d made a little nook for him with all the characters I love. I’d made tea, put a fire in the hearth, and arranged the pillows for him. And now he’s here! He’s here, and I’ve been waiting for him.

It may be a selfish thought, but this feel like something I get to have. It feels like a triumph to me. To have and to hold, to give little forehead kisses to, to keep by my bedside during the hard nights to look at and keep close.

I’ve been sobbing for the last 10 minutes over Benedict. Tears of joy streaming down my face, muttering into the pillows. The last time I was like this was when I learned Gwen Stacy might be transgender.

Representation matters to me. Welcome to my heart, Benedict. Love is not finite.
