I made these leaf-y hair rings for an advent calendar swap I've participated in!
The idea translated so well from the image in my head to how they actually came out! I'm really happy with these cute leaf- hair rings and want to make some for myself to keep & incorporate into my outfits.

Picture 1: An open notebook with the idea for the leaf hair accessory sketched out in blue pen. Some leaf shapes have already been cut out of green fabric printed with ferns and are laying next to the sketch.
Picture 2: A leaf sketched out on grid paper and cut out, in order to use it as a pattern. Two hairrings have been already prepared with it. The wooden spool of white thread and the green lace flower and wooden leaf earrings are coincidental clutter, but fit the theme well!
Picture 3: A decision was posed between a small brown hairring and a bigger brown hair ring. A finished leaf pair, ready to be attached to one of the hairrings is laying beneath. It's made out of two fabric leaves, which are connected by cotton yarn in the middle. The fabric leaves have been decorated with a stitch around the border and one stitch stem down the middle.
Picture 4: Shows the inside of a leaf. The two fabric sides have been sewn together but not yet turned inside-out. The threads also haven't been clipped yet, nor the seam allowance cut back. You can see the second leaf poking out of the turn hole.
Picture 5: Two finished hairrings with leaves knotted on them! They are both big hairrings (in brown and black). The fabric used for the leaves has a pretty fern pattern on it. The leaves look somehow inspired by nature and cartoonish at the same time.
🎶 On the eighth, ninth and tenth days of Christmas I gave to my mom 🎶
A scratching post that doubles as a chair, Tinsel might be a homeowner but he’s still a kitty! Teeny little wall art! So small! They were hard to draw 😅 and lastly a shelf full of little books! They have pages and everything (blank pages but still hahah)
Example of next year's spiritual calendar! I have a Telegram chat channel where I put all the messages, reminders, notes, whatever 🌟 Upper Management 🌟 needs me to jot down.
Each cycle (kvi) has its own spiritual focus/guide. I used to change out altars and focus every month but I started noticing the energy change happening pretty consistently with the New Moon, thus I switched to Kvi (it just means month in the language I use for my magic writing). Name is easy, [Guides name or Focus] + Kvi. for example, Björkvi is the month for my guide Björge (sorry, no veneration Kvi for Björk). Stidikvi is the only deviantion from this, stidim is the word for ancestor.
None of the Mudoran/Hylian pantheon have there own Kvi since they have an altar up all year round, and also they kind of show up around the same times as some of the other folks so every day Hylia day lol. Hylia usually pops on around Lamkvi with Lamiya, then gets a boost around D'sukvi(hello tears of the Kingdom release???), then pops up again around Junakvi/Stidikvi since you know veil thinning/convention season and such.
Stidikvi and Eliakvi are the only ones that take the whole Greg month, mostly because that's kind of a rest period and there's SO much going on during those months in my personal life (birthday, anniversary, candle nights/Christmas/yule, birthday again, new year smth or other) that I forget whosewhatwherewhen anywhow.
I write these dates on the good old Greg calender since it's pretty easy to find one that has moon phases included!
Making these was so much fun!!! I collected the empty seed coats on a walk in a local park and pretty soon knew I wanted to make some kind of ornament with them.
Because they were empty I took a wooden bead and wrapped it in wire, with little beads threaded onto each wire string. It was a simple process of stringing the beads and wrapping them through the wooden beads opening, but still time consuming. For me it was relaxing and fun to see the berry form with all the beads attached to the wooden bead! I hot glued the beaded berries into the seed coats and also hot glued red satin ribbon onto them (for hanging them up) and added some red velvet ribbon shapes into bows (for further decoration and festive cheer)!
I really adore how they came out.

Picture 1: Picture 1 and Picture 6 are basically identical, they are just slightly different in zoom and are there to show of the pretty seed berry ornaments twice. Because, why not! They both show the finished seed berry ornaments, made with empty seed coats I found on a walk in nature, they kinda look like flower hats in my opinion. A berry made from different red-and-black beads has been glued inside the empty seed coat as a new berry and the ornament is decorated with a red satin ribbon loop and a red velvet bow.
Picture 2: Two empty seed coats, one laying on it's side and showing it's cap/hat like shape and one standing on top of the table. Two wooden beads wrapped with wire and beads are laying next to the seed coats, looking very much like red-and-black sparkly berries.
Picture 3: A close-up of a finished bead "berry" placed into an emtpy seed coat, showing how cute this ornament will look once I glue everything together!
Picture 4: A wooden bead wrapped in wire and covered with little beads is laying on top of a table. It looks very much like a sparkly berry in different shades of red and some black beads. Next to the wire-wrapped berry lay the used tools: two kinds of miniature-sized pliers and one miniature-sized wire cutter, the collected empty sead coat and a little transparent tin with a red-and-black bead mix.
Picture 5: A close-up of one wooden bead that has been completely wrapped in strings of wire with various shades of red (and some black) beads threaded onto the wire. The final look resembles a sparkly berry.
Picture 6: See picture 1. The picture almost look identical. I just wanted to include both! [/image description]
