you can use glue mixed with water to make your crochet lace stiff instead of starch. it's easier to do, faster, the results are the same and it won't be ruined by water!
just mix some crafts glue (wikol my beloved) with water, apply on the crochet piece and let dry like you would normally do. works wonders!
and if you have some nearly finished glue bottle, you can add water directly to it and have your mixture ready for whenever needed!
normally i'm all in favour of trying traditional technics but so far using glue worked better in every single aspect, so give it a try!
i found this rainbow star blanket pattern on etsy, completely fell in love with it. and i rarely use patterns, let alone pay for them, but this one i just needed to. ive seen people make these big star blankets before and theyre gorgeous..... so i decided to use some of my less desirable yarn to make this pattern.
i love the shape though, so im totally going to go back and make this in yarn i genuinely like! this is just leftovers that i dont have a better use for. depending on how big she gets, she might end up being a picnic blanket, since this is made out of heavier acrylic. also the lighting is atrocious i promise the finished thing will be so much better please
but i absolutely love the texture so far, this would make a great baby blanket!! highly recommend this pattern, its fairly easy and the pattern is super well written. right now its on sale for about $5, get into it if youre liking this kind of thing!! (also @lithyena since you were asking about it earlier lol)
Aoiko the fallen star. they are always flying around giving good vibes to everyone around them in our paracosms. we can feel their vibes. their aura. they got kicked out of the space because they are disbaled and not a perfect star. now they have their own chosen family. - HoneyLily
I'm back to making my usual manic faerie works in progress. ∩(´・ u ・`)つ―*’⛧`*:
My brain is going in all sorts of directions, and I like to refer to these bursts of ideas as brain blasts because Jimmy Neutron, iykyk 🚀
I was feeling and still have some big inspo from Rules, but I'm also reading through Chainsawman now. 🐶
Which made me seek out one of my first favorite manga's I read as a kid- not because they are similar in any way lmao but because they both are hitting me deep, and Amu always inspired me deeply when it came specifically to clothing design.
Cool and Spicy!!
can't properly explain how these two are going to play into my future pieces but you'll see it come together eventually and I am so excited!!
