      This is a song I need to work on. This is the general vibe I want my album to have.

      Not dubstep, more electro.

        I made a thing. The waistcoat, not the man. Seven hours. Patterns need better instructions. IMG_20200425_175328-684x450.jpg

          @JinShei Patterns always need better instructions. That's one of the immutable laws of the universe. Along with there being a wrong instruction in every single pattern.

          Looking good, though!

            @JinShei You mightily kicked that pattern's ass, bad instructions or no! That came out great.

            Also: you clearly have something that's so vital, not even kidding. All the stuff you've shown is with excellent choices of good quality materials, tasteful colors and patterns. Nobody can really teach that, and it's such a huge part of 'making stuff well'.

            Oh fucking well.

              This got put on hold 'cause I can either kill the hand cramps (even if they're fading) or the oh gods why do I even have these organs I never wanna use for stuff monthly shenanigans, which more or less have me coiled in a fetal ball and whimpering through re-watching The Last Kingdom to catch the new season at the tail end.

              I used to make paper dolls, because why not. They were fun to doodle and it meant getting to draw all manner of crazy outfits. This is one of two I've been working on since getting the tablet, which will get picked up again once the ow-ow-ow-someone-call-Moses stops. (The other has boobies still visible, so not posting that for obvious reasons.)

              There's a full nekkid person under the outfit, which is on different layers in photochop. She's done, it (obviously) isn't. Colors and shapes taken from a fantasy princessy dress spin on succulents.

              But seriously 3 days of digital inking for a nekkid lady blooooooooows. I redid it like a dozen times before finding a better way for the second one, but yeesh. Ow, hand.

              Oh fucking well.

                  @Grayson This made a particular effort! I won't buy from that company again but I now have little notes on it.

                  And a reminder to myself that my machine has a buttonhole setting and men's buttons go on the one side...

                      I made a thing. A handbag, made from the fabric of a skirt my sister loved but couldn't wear any more so... 🙂

                              Right now, working on the Ways to Grow shawl with yarn that came from my friend's sheep, dyed by her mother.

                                  Our new "hobby". These come with a little nose thing, and a space for you to put a filter. (edit, we're selling them with a Buy One, Give One model for our local community).

                                      @SinCerely And should have! I've tried to make a mask like that. I discovered several things.

                                      1. My sewing skills are not NEARLY advanced enough to make that kind of mask.
                                      2. My mom was right: curved seams are the DEVIL.
                                      3. I still don't really know much on how to sew and still want to take classes in it!

                                      Gorgeous mask!

                                          @SinCerely Sorry! I hit 'reply' in the wrong area. And I'm too lazy to edit it.
