Pattern from @palaeoplushies

This was quite the project! The pattern was a bit more complex then I'm used to, and I've never painted fleece, or any fabric for a project before! I made quite a few mistakes WHY ARE YOU PIGEON TOED?! but I think the end project looks good enough! Believe it or not this is the half size version, I can't imagine how big the original size must be!

Appreciation for the stripes (made from watered down dnd mini paints >_>, waste not want not)

I made myself a thylacine plush with the lovely pattern designed by @palaeoplushies​. The stars on the fabric are glow in the dark, and I’m super happy with how he turned out.

Anyways, y’all should check out Palaeoplushies’ shop. There’s a lot of cool stuff, and this pattern is really great. https://www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/thylacine-sewing-pattern

Oh hey, do you know what time it is? It is highly specific resource time!

Today we have the Royal School of Needlework Stitch Bank! There are HUNDREDS of stitch types in the RSN Stitch Bank.

And more added regularly, let’s look at a recent addition

I picked the first one in the 25 recently added Elizabethan stitches, the Elizabethan French Stitch

The stitch bank provides written and photo tutorials as well as a video option to learn to do it yourself. There are examples of the stitch in use, resources, references, everything but a needle and thread!

I love when someone goes through my archive and likes/reposts stuff from years ago. It's like, "Ahhh, I remember that! Cool!"

Colombia confirmed the first case of an albino ocelot, after carrying out genetic tests on a feline with white fur and red eyes. 

The ocelot was found as a kitten, weighing just 440 grams, in the rural zone of Amalfi and was first thought to be a puma jaguarundi.

Medellin’s Conservation Park undertook genetic testing on the animal, concluding it was actually a leopardus pardalis, a native species of ocelot that is found all across the Americas.

Can't help but wonder how much of El Paso county's higher "relevance" is related to exit strategies from other states, and how much is related to border politics and (often overly exaggerated for effect) news. :p
