hard brush my beloved.... in this house we hate anti-aliasing!!!!

I love when there are jagged pixels!!! I love when it looks like you'd rub against that thing and fucking cut yourself!!!!!!!

Presenting King Hubert, the saddest guy I've ever made~💖

I saw this c. 1616 wine cup that has a tiny engraving of 3 lions with sad old man faces wearing crowns. They bewitched me so thoroughly I had to make one I can hold in my hands

Oh, uh. I guess I should mention that I’ve made this thing. Three months after release sounds like a perfect time. Untitled Tile Painter is a quirky little drawing tool that lets you lay down funky geometric Bauhaus-inspired patterns. It’s 50% a useful thing for actual people and 50% me wanting to stretch my UMG muscles on something. It’s also a little bit like a control panel of an alien spaceship, as far as UX goes. Give it a go, if it looks like your kind of thing! It’s entirely free and all generated images are yours to keep and use as you see fit.

holy shit this is incredible

WE DON’T GATEKEEP WEAVING TECHNIQUES IN THIS HOUSEHOLD!

So to start this is double cloth (meaning I have two different warps, they’re threaded on 4 frames and each slot in the reed has two strings, one from each warp)

Step one: lift up the entirety of one warp (for me, pedals 2 and 4), then select the design with a pickup stick/sword/the fiber only thingy

Step 2: Go to your OTHER warp (1 and 3 for me) with the stick still in and do a back and forth of plain weave, take the stick out to beat

Step 3: Pick up the background with the stick (aka anything you didn’t pick up before, 1 and 3 for me)

Step four: Plain weave with the other warp AND a different weft (2 and 4 for me) take out the stick and beat

Step 5: Repeat! You can do this with any pixel designs, provided you have enough warp strings to have 2 per square

Fair warning, be EXTREMELY careful with your selvages (edges of the warp), they pull in the sides a lot more than regular plain weave. Happy weaving!
