I'm done knitting...

i literally never ever want to hear another fucking word about how you ‘don’t support jkr’ BUT you still watch the films/read the books/buy the merch/go to fucking harry potter world or whatever because it’s nostalgic etc.

there are real world consequences for lining her pockets and you cannot call yourself a trans ally when she is DIRECTLY using that money to impact actual laws that hurt actual trans people in the uk.

fuck terfs. fuck the supreme court for this disgusting decision. trans women are women. always have been and always will be. end of.

Found this post about Avatar The Last Airbender, and wanted to share it cause is amazing and so true.

See the original post in:

If you haven't seen Avatar: the Last Airbender, here's a number of reasons why you should. I could go on, but I'll let the show speak for itself.

I've just finished rewatching it. Amazing show! Definitely recommend it.

The only buttons I would put in my eyes

"Kill them with kindness" WRONG. drop the opera house chandelier on them.

So it's reducing the tension of the bow that makes the difference? I'm guessing lowered tension allows contact with more than one string at once, creating the "fiddle" sound.

TIL... :->

Now wanting to hear My Man Tartini (specifically his Concerto for violin & strings in E Minor, D.56, Allegro 1 - it's tagged in a couple of places on this blog) played on The Fiddle.

*tsk* Gotta hate it when you chip a nail.

Yall are cowards for deleting this caption.

ok i regret not unmuting this earlier

the wailing phantom

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself

I was thinking through what else I’m looking forward to this holiday season and I realized I haven’t mentioned it on here, just on discord, but— MY MOMS BEEN MAKING ME A REALLY COOL ART THING??

I think I’ve talked about it before, but my mom has been a quilter for most of my life and in the last few years started doing these really cool fabric collages, and it was my turn to request one so I asked for a phoenix cause I’m obsessed with this one art piece I did in art therapy ages ago

Anyway, my mom has been working on it and THIS was the last update I got???

I’m so excited for it?? Can’t wait to see where it’s at by the time I get there this weekend

dude holy fucking shit???? this is. beyond insane. i also quilt, though i've never tried paper piecing - though this doesnt even look like that. this has surpassed any and every sort of traditional quilt work. i can't even imagine how this is put together. im just staring at it in absolute wonder. youve short circuited my brain with how beautiful that is, and 'beautiful' isnt a strong enough word for what this is

So, as far as I can tell, this is a technique involving cutting tiny pieces of fabric with the colors/patterns you want and pinning and using fabric glue, and then sometimes sewing over top depending on the size of the pieces (this is what I’ve gathered from listening to my mom talk about it, but I know she learned the technique from a specific artist I can’t remember the name of who sells books and classes). My mom also frequently uses tulle over areas with lots of small piecing, usually as a way to adjust color but also I think cause it’s easier to sew the tulle piece than try and quilt aaaaalll of the little bits and pieces.

Here’s some pics from the workroom when I visited in November, and some pics from in-progress pieces before they were finished, if that gives you a better idea of how it works ^^

And here’s some finished pieces!

Update! I asked my mom for the name of the artist who she learned the technique from! If you’re curious about this style, you can find more info on her website! https://susancarlson.com/

Apparently she’s very generous with free tutorials as well as having books and workshops

Update! Re:technique, it’s mostly glued at first, with extra glue as well as some free motion quilting on top over areas that don’t have tulle over them, and tulle stitched over some areas.

Also updates on the phoenix!

You can kinda see the metallic details on some of the fabrics chosen! I love them. Also a glimpse at some of the bits cut out to use in the tail!

I’ll sneak into the quilting room for more closeups of this and other pieces before I leave ^^

Updates! (First, oops I forgot to get more pics of the work room when I was home; family visits are always busier than expected)

I was given two options for background as my mom was finishing up the bird part—

I ended up picking the greener one cause I love all the gold stuff, and my mom added even more gold details for that mythical feel

So this is the current most recent form!

I'm going out of my fucking mind.

one of those generically cheerful Bless this Home (and all who enter) signs, but instead it says Memento Mori (remember that you must die)

so, i made a thing

Not quite the same concept (sorry to add on), but this is the sign I have right inside my door

@ellynneversweet your TAGS: #I once visited a cousin’s house where she had ‘friends’ ‘relax’ signs and bit my lip the entire time so as not to ask where the matching ‘enemies’ ‘beware’ signs were
