#aspect embroidery

Life, as they say, finds a way 🌿 cotton and silk floss on linen, 2022.

Impulsive Sewing Project of the Week

Because I lack self control, I decided to make this bag on Thursday, and finish it Friday night. It is all hand sewn, including the embroidery, with a wool crepe exterior and silk twill lining (because that is what I had in my scrap bag in large enough pieces). Sides and draw string are finger looped braid made from a linen/cotton blend yarn. I may replace the draw string with a lucet cord instead, since I finally got a lucet yesterday, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out on the whole.

some stuff i did in school recently: scanned images of fabric that have been run through audacity to be glitched up with reverb and echo and such and then printed back out and embroidered! i thought it was kind of funny

here's the original fabric:

its old busted pajamas <3

#art #glitch art #embroidery thread #like i thought it was kind of funny to take a fabric. and divorce it so far from its original form (into raw data. fuck up the data) #(and then print it out on paper) but still using it like its in its original form (embroidery) #it was a lot of fun to mess around with! but i did also find it fascinating how my peers and especially my teachers #leaned into the gender roles aspect of embroidery. i understand but also they viewed it as a soft delicate thing (i dont think they) #(realized their own biases coming through) but im gonna be honest. embroidering paper. or anything in my experience. is like #violent. to me. maybe im just kind of rough. but i dunno i kept calling all the embroidered parts of the paper 'the wounds' #LOL this is violence to me <3 #it can be feminine. it can be masculine. whatever you want. but the truth of the matter is it is not delicate when i do it HFJFEKDSS #i got big sweaty clumsy hands <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

…How do we feel about the environmental implications of certain very tiktok-friendly Small Business Crafts such as resin work and polymer clay jewelry. I know that I feel and think things about them but I don’t really know what those things are

#like are they yet another expression of first world consumerist luxury? #is it irresponsible to create with what is essentially a lot of plastic? #is it stupid to shame people for this when their impacts are negligible compared to manufacturers and industry? #or is it something to be more concerned about? #how is the ‘accessible low-entry level craft -> small business on tiktok’ pipeline affecting artists? #in what ways do these crafts intersect w privilege or lack thereof? #what makes them different from things like beading/embroidery/pottery/painting/metalwork/sewing/other arts and crafts? #are they different at all? #idk I just feel like on the one hand yay creativity on the other hand i feel like it’s trendifying/yassifying/commodifying certain aspects #of creativity #like most amateur like ‘small business’ tiktok girlies are just making things that follow trends and often copies of whatever is popular atm #(​at least in my experience) #like do you know what I mean. like all the resin girlies with their molds they bought on aliexpress #and the polymer clay earring girlies where they make the clay look like marble/stone in a ‘satisfying’ grammable process #of chopping up teeny bits of clay and mixing it with acrylic paint and gold leaf and rolling it all out #and it’s ‘satisfying’ and just the ~perfect~ vehicle for ~trending audios~

I’ve returned to my interest in patches but this time I’ve actually finished one! Woo.

I think I need some stabilizer because when embroidering the plants (?) if I pulled a little too hard I’d deform the weave of the osnaberg fabric. Overall it’s a simple design but it was fairly easy, for anyone wanting to try making patches.

I bought that choso sweater thinking the site was legit but it was some phishing scam site that stole someone else's design... anyways I started a case with PayPal like immediately after I realized what happened. wasn't even expecting the sweater to come but it did. was expecting it to be shit quality but it's actually.... nicer than the legit original one...... and PayPal also refunded me for the purchase... lmao hehehahahahohoho

#after learning this site was a scam site #i looked for the original one #and was like “damn this fake one isnt going to be nearly as nice” #but the fake one ended up being a really nice soft knit sweater #while the real one is a bulky thick cotton crew neck with stiff embroidery #i won in every aspect #aside from not supporting the original creator #i do feel bad about that #but it was an accident anyways #and the scam sellers had to eat the loss so they didn't make any money

just watched one of the hetalia musicals for the first time and i'm here to report that england's characterization was so astonishingly bad that i couldn't even bear to see him onscreen

#they flanderized him to death with his punk stuff #like . it's all there is to him in it???? ALL OF IT #which is soo frustrating because like. part of the reason THAT aspect of him is as intriguing to me #is cuz it accents his gentleman persona in a really interesting way #like he's moody and bitchy but he's also a gentleman who cares about manners in an objective sense and he likes punk fashion and rock music #but also tea and embroidery #and neither aspect of him is falsified they simply coexist #so to see them giving him this exaggerated punk personality with no room for the other side of him... that's just literally not him #no mention of magic or spells or mythical creatures to be seen either WHICH IS SUCH A HUGE PART OF HIM AS WELL #and like. one of the REASONS i like him so much is BECAUSE he's so layered in a way that is so uncomplicated #he just is all of these things at once #and then the pirate thing #THERE'S SO MUCH #AND HE MAKES IT ALL COHERENT WHEN YOU OTHERWISE WOULDN'T ANTICIPATE THESE THINGS TO MAKE SENSE FOR ONE CHARACTER #but he has it all!!!!!!!!! #i'm just mad. they took everything from himmm #sparkletwinkles

That moment when the creative block that's been crushing me for a few months suddenly lifts and it's time to spend 5 hours sketching out the sudden inspiration before it passes.

That moment somehow always manages to occur at 2AM on a Monday. Because of course it does.

#been wanting to use blackwork to mimic art nouveau style stained glass #and i think i'm finally onto a thing that'll work #if i can keep the art nouveau aspect without either crowding out all the fill motifs #or turning it into a million-stitch behemoth #if not #i should at least get some shading practice out of it #embroidery #my stuff

💟 solidarity from the peoples of brazil to the people of palestine—

last year, @fairuzfan suggested that people make art in support of palestine. i planned something that was supposed to be posted on the last strike, but it took me longer than expected.

it's finished now! this is in solidarity with palestinians, including palestinian-brazilians, who have been working tirelessly for justice in brazil as well.

i chose to highlight aspects of the land that are important to palestinians and the palestinian cause: the olive trees, jaffa oranges, the figs, poppies, faqqua irises and the palestinian mountain gazelle. the figure of the woman itself is wearing the traditional thobe and headwear of ramallah, which i found! so beautiful!

for the brazilian figure i asked my grandma what she used to wear and what our family used to plant decades ago, when she lived in the northeastern countryside (she is way more familiarised with the land than me). had some help from friends of the region as well, so i drew a jaguar, manioc roots, corn, cashews, sweet potatoes, a carnaúba palm tree and mandacaru flowers.

some of those, such as manioc roots and mandacaru cacti, remind me of resilience and the sustaining of life in difficult times, and what they may allow to flourish and to go on:

vida e não apenas sobrevida. that is, "life and not only survival!"

may palestine and it's people live! live free from every form of oppression that allowed this genocide, this nakba to take place.

I frequently mourn the fact that so little is commonly known about the smaller details of traditional Jewish life. And I don't mean diaspora Jewish life, it's amazing how much we know and have preserved of various diaspora community traditions.

I mean ancient Judean lifestyles. And yes, the Torah outlines a lot of it, which is amazing. But I don't want to just know that Judean women wore jewelry or nose rings or etc, I want to be able to know what our traditional Jewish jewelry looked like. Smaller specifics instead of the broad strokes.

We can know what religious garb looked like, and even the general gist of day to day clothing. But I want to know specifically what colors people would dye their clothes for their personal tastes, the specific embroidery designs that were worn.

I want to know how traditional Judean women wore their hair, both how they wore their head coverings (knot styles, accessories for the coverings, etc) and how unmarried women would adorn their heads.

I want to know what traditional Judean makeup looked like, what toys the children played with, so so so many aspects of ancient Jewish life that I have been able to find nothing about.

Maybe, of course, I just don't know enough history. But I've tried googling these things and I have not ever found a satisfactory answer.

I wish to know what traditional, pre-occupation, pre-exile Jewish life was like.

If anyone knows anything about any of this, please please please reblog or send an ask or comment about anything you know.

This topic is of great interest to me but I'm not great at finding good history information, I've got more experience doing in-depth research on current events and politics.

SO WE FINALLY MET IREENA AND ISMARK....AND BY DAY ONE WE ALREADY LOVE THEM (and will die for them, Ireena especially). Which means I had to take time between commissions to make proper designs for them; bottom sketches are my first takes on them before getting a good grasp on their appearance.

Went with a traditional Romanian angle with their clothing--gee, I wonder why?--while trying to apply a touch of their own personalities mixed with Barovian drab. Our Ireena enjoys embroidery so I made it a point to add that to her design, as well as red accents to go with her hair and scarf. Ismark's is more serious and steeped in tradition which I think is befitting a man taking on the role of a village leader (whether he wants to accept such a responsibility or not).

I wanted Ireena to have a girl-next-door prettiness to her that matches her spunky, big sister attitude that ours has, while Ismark was based off our DM's vision of 'a young Sean Bean from a specific 90s TV series' mixed with aspects of his canonical portrait. Yes, the poor man is suffering from angst, lack of sleep, and a mullet (and awful unshaven hair).

actually I SHOULD try and get back into guitar or sitar but idk what it is like I like making noise. can’t undersell the joy of making noise. but I completely lack the desire or discipline to actually learn how to play well

#like no matter how much I practice it never forms a habit and I never really enjoy it :/ tbh I think the only hobbies that I’ve really stuck #w are knitting/crochet/embroidery. I think part of it is the tactile aspect but also that they’re relatively forgiving for beginners. like I #could embroider a whole garment w just chain stitch if I wanted and it would probably look good. also love that they can be repetitive and I #can multitask w them #rooh.txt

My latest embroidery animation. I added a digital background using Photoshop, this is probably the most detailed I would want to go with a background. Any more than this detracts from the embroidered aspect. I also added in some camera close ups, which I really like. It gives you a chance to see the stitching better :D

Astro observations part 8

[LONG EDITION] - taken from my phone's notes (also, i was too lazy to edit it so here's a nice chunk of info)

🍂 Sun conjunct Saturn individuals inherit mindsets from the father, grandparents or great-grandparents. They might never fully act like their Sun sign (aka "shine"), since they've been conditioned from a young age to listen to parents, teachers, and later on bosses. They are the type to never divorce, no matter how toxic their marriage is. If these peeps deal well with their Saturn Return, they might become "THE BOSS" (aka the person everyone looks up to due to how accomplished, disciplined and rich they are, they've literally got their shit together and deserve a round of applause, "it wasn't easy to get to the top, but it was worth it" - you might hear them say this). They are also more prone to ingrain stoic principles in their lifestyle

🍂 Mars square Neptune gives off major cult leader vibes. They're the type to fool you with false promises until you sign up for their "camp" but then you realize it's actually an evil cult where all they wanna do is put you to work (and maybe later even kill you lol). These individuals become very scary when angry (you don't wanna see them angry, trust me). If they ever commit suicide, it'll be by drowning, alcohol or drugs

🍂 Mars trine Neptune is one of the best aspects for those who make a living off their talents. The talent depends on the element the trine is in:

If it's in Earth signs - ideal for those who work in the "money handling sector" in advertising, becoming an entrepeneur, holistic care (if Virgo is involved), cooks, those who work in interior design, seamstresses, embroidery/lace makers, models, event planners If it's in Air signs - ideal for those who work in sales (their negotiation skills are ✨chef's kiss👌🏻✨), becoming a spiritual/religious teacher or an art/music/any other creative pursuit teacher (lmao, i can't even speak💀💀), writers, musicians, magicians and astrologers (for the last two - if Aquarius is involved) If it's in Fire signs - ideal for dancers, theater/movie actors, hairstylists, circus performers, photographers (only if Leo is involved) If it's in Water signs - ideal for make-up artists, painters, tarot readers

🍂 Moon sextile Uranus individuals have got the ability to create a positive parasocial relationship with their followers. Since these people often use their devices to validate their emotions, i wouldn't be surprised if most of y'all also have atleast one active profile where you post quite frequently

PRO TIP: Whenever Transit Jupiter is trining/conjuncting your Natal Uranus (to a less extent also the sextile), you'll get a sudden boost in your followers count

🍂 This is a theory of mine that i've come up with and i'd love to hear your thoughts on it. When it comes to intergenerational astrology, i do believe that we inherit all of our personal planets placements from our parents and ancestors. But then you might say "But i don't act like my mother at all! This is bullshit!". I'm not saying we're all carbon copies of our family members. What makes us unique and distinguishes us from our parents and grandparents (or even great-grandparents) are the way the planets aspect each other in our birth charts and the planetary configurations between them. Basically we start from the same ground, but we all use our traits differently, whether for the better or the worst expression of them. Let's not forget that we also tend to go through different life experiences than our parents and grandparents; we might be blessed with different opportunities that might enhance our best traits and help us achieve what our ancestors always wanted to but weren't able to

Hope you enjoyed today's post, loves!💗💗💗 I've been wanting to post for a while now but my inspiration has been wandering alone in the Sahara Desert I can't promise that i'll start posting again more frequently (the new uni year is starting soon for me + i enrolled in a local astrology school 2 weeks ago🥳🥳 ya girl can't wait to officially become an astrologer) but my inbox will be open again for further questions! I must also thank you for helping me hit 500 followers!!! I'm probably gonna do another ask game once i hit 600 followers, as i'm too busy right now. As always, don't forget to drink water and take care of yourselves! Hope to see you soon! ˚₊‧꒰ა ☆ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚
