I need to make a real proper mockup soon, but an too tired. Instead, have some embroidery potentially for some more decoration

This is Galactic Ternary, the writing system Daisy uses. I have not elaborated on that at all, but it's on my to do list I swear lol (This translates to "Daisy" though)

This is going to be entirely undignified and I should probably sleep with one eye open for a while. But I've started drafting a carrier pattern so I can bring Daisy with me easier. It's probably going to be more like a purse than a baby carrier, but it'll do the job. Might even add a zipper and pocket to the large back part so I can actually use it sorta like a small purse.

Not the final fabric, obviously. But a quick sanity check on the fit.

The final project will be in this cool space fabric. And I found these super cute bug pins as decoration!!

Kicking my feet in giddiness as I work on a comic that's coming out close to the way I want it to

[yirggzmb]

I have completed another crochet monstrosity

[yirggzmb]

And a color experiment with the Starries. I'm fascinated by these little oddballs

[yirggzmb]

These colors are everything to me. I need them to fuse with my soul.

Thinking about a vacation I'm taking later this year where I usually bring along a stuffed animal to take photos of instead of myself

I already know I really want to bring Yarn Daisy, but she's so much bigger than the ones I usually bring. Keep thinking I need to make one of those strap on baby carriers fitted to her stubby shape

She's gonna hate me so much lol

Tango and his little new guys!!

Started working on this THE MOMENT I saw the episode, and just finished it, watching Tango's stream 😌 I love the Teknicians, they're so silly so stupid ❤️❤️

the hunting of joe hills

I've got one of those art ideas that's so cloyingly sappy, so cringingly nostalgic, that I can't wait to inflict it on the world... If I can finish it without crying all over my tablet and ruining it

Hermit-a-Day May, day 18: JoeHills. Today's style/medium is puppet-making! Or mostly sewing with a few other things thrown in. I had a ton of fun with this one, even though it took...so much time to make. I usually explain why I chose a certain medium but this one is...pretty self-explanatory, I think. If you have any Joe clips you want to see a puppet show of, send them my way! Details, materials, and a couple more pictures under the read more.

Materials: this pattern by Abby Glassenberg and all of its required components (minus the eyes), googly safety eyes from Amazon, baby clothes from a local thrift store, and white fabric paint.

I was originally going to try to get doll clothes to dress the Juppet in, since I didn't want to sew the outfit from scratch, but couldn't find any that were quite right. After a couple unfruitful trips into stores, I stopped by a local children's thrift store and poked around their newborn and preemie section until I found an orange onesie and gray jacket/cardigan that were close enough to the right colors. I know the jacket on Joe's skin is probably a hoodie, given the pocket placement, but surprisingly, few people seem to be manufacturing hoodies for newborn babies. Once I got home, I hacked off the bottom of the orange onesie, hemmed it, and painted the at symbol on the back with fabric paint. The front (now back) still says "daddy's mighty guy" with a picture of two dinosaurs on it and that amuses me greatly.

The puppet pattern itself was a little tricky, and there were a couple spots that I think could have used some more explanation, but I made it through. In hindsight, I wish I'd used bigger eyes, but I couldn't find safety eyes (the kind that pokes through the fabric and gets secured with a washer) in a larger size and the style I wanted, and I didn't want to just glue regular googly eyes on because I was worried it wouldn't be sturdy enough (and the edges might look messy). I ended up having to hot glue the felt pieces to the inside of the mouth, even though the pattern recommended normal craft glue for that part, because it would not stick no matter what I did. If I were to make the pattern again, I'd probably try to sew the roof of the mouth and tongue pieces onto the pink felt before attaching it to the head, rather than gluing them on after.

Honestly, there are a lot of things I would do differently if I were to make another puppet, but I'm pretty proud of how this one turned out, especially for my first time doing something like this! I just. have a Juppet in my house now. I don't know how to feel about this. I know this is a pretty complicated piece, so if you have any additional questions, feel free to message me (or send an ask, or reply to this post, or send the message by carrier pigeon--whatever floats your boat).

You think “oh it would be useful to learn how to identify my thrifted yarn and clothing” and before you know it you’ve been recruited by fiber witches giving out their spells willy nilly, again
