#yarn painting

[thisisasupergoodidea]

i recently learned about a thing called yarn painting, aka gluing yarn to a canvas to 'paint' a picture, and it looked like a lot of fun so i gave it a try

to keep it simple i used a logo i made a while back as my template, then freestyled a design around it. heres how it turned out:

i feel like maybe i went a liiiittle overboard adding the beads at the end, lol. but im very pleased with my work! and im glad i found a cool alternate way to use my yarn while knitting continues to elude me 😅

whole project took me a total of 15 hours from sketch to final product, including the countless times i got distracted or had to wait for glue to dry. also it was very slow to start bc i needed the outer lines of the key to be as perfect as possible, but i definitely felt like i was working faster each time i picked it back up

A little behind the scenes of probably my favourite thing I’ve ever made, I called it the 8-Ball Splat

This project was made on a recycled thin wooden board and created simply with yarn, glue, scissors and a pencil

my mania rug is done! she took just under two days and i had to do the wave strand by strand to get it to look close to the album cover. more photos below <3

i used about six different shades of purple and three blues, as well as white and black. two of the purples were Very similar to the point that i was getting them confused while using them, but i'm super happy to see the different colors translate on the left and right of the wave. its subtle but its there 😭 here's what it looks like from behind and the reference photo i used. i didn't include the lettering because it is Hard to do letters in this medium lmfao

I made this yarn bowl at one of those "paint your own ceramics" places! It was a birthday gift from my older sister ❤️

The loop cutout to hold yarn looked like a fish hook to me, so I made the whole thing a fish bowl! I painted some of my old betta fish on it, as well as one of the snails I had

Dabi is sooo stray cat coded to me. you find him hurt and bleeding near your house one day, and maybe you only clean his wounds and feed him whatever you had in the fridge, and he just keeps coming back. keeps finding a reason to return to you—he left his phone charger—he never returned your Tupperware—he needs the recipe for that one dish you made that one time even though he knows it’s just a gateway for you to cook it for him again.

and after a while, you just start inviting him in with no hesitation or need of an excuse. he’s such a stray cat kinda dude, just slinks in whenever he feels like it. knocks things over because he finds your reactions funny. steals your food and your warmth and your side of the bed.

after a while, you two fall into a routine with each other. he comes over and messes with you until he gets bored and leaves again, only to pop up in fewer intervals every time. but, as time goes on, in those moments, he just likes to watch you. keep his hands to himself—sometimes—and admires your daily routine. thinks to himself that this is what normalcy is like, asks himself why does he crave it with you so badly?

Dabi watches you from the corner of your bed as you sit in front of your mirror to dab on your makeup. he’s learned what the hell primer and bronzer is and the quickest way to do eyeliner, and it fascinates him more than it should. he watches you prance out of the bathroom after a shower in just your underwear and a towel on your head. how you lather your skin in these fancy oils and body butters, but finds himself asking if they’re safe on still healing burned skin.

he watches you cook him dinner and clean the living room and enjoy your shitty music and tv shows and cry over your dumb romance books and he just. he just can’t believe he’s fallen into this domesticity with you, this normalcy, as he finds himself not watching anymore but doing—with you, beside you. and he finds that he likes it. just a little.

Friendly reminder that if a deal seems too good to be true, it might be! Also known as someone messaged me here, asked if they could make a painting based on one of my quilts (I am absolutely fine with that!), and then offered to pay me for doing so. When I said that was kind of them, but unnecessary, they insisted and kept pushing, trying to get my email, my discord, and then eventually my banking info. They insisted their "client" would mail me a check, and that since they and I were "collaborating" on this art piece, I'd deposit the check and then mail them their part. Many things about the whole pitch were suspicious, but two stood out from the very beginning: - for using a photo of my quilt as a reference, they said they'd pay $300 - the quilt they said someone commissioned them to make a 3 foot square oil painting of was the lumberjack quilt. Now don't get me wrong, I like my lumberjack quilt, but of all the quilts I've ever made I have serious doubts that the "various shades of denim" quilt is the one someone would want a painting of (Just in case they were not trying to scam me, I did make it clear that I was absolutely fine with them using my photos for reference. I even offered to take new photos of that quilt from different angles or in different lighting if they wanted! I said I had a ko-fi if they felt they really had to pay me! But no.)
