@coolest-capybara
Still in the works, but nearly done with this, then hopefully will have the tutorial up soon.
Hereās how to make one for yourself

Another week's worth of bird people.
Have you studied enough alchemy to synthesise The Dialectic Material?
I've got an ingot of pure context on my side table
My favorite Tolkien illustrations by Cor Blok in no particular order:
Bilbo and Gollum. Bilbo is the moon for some reason which is cool i guess
Smeagol and Deagol. I love the seaweed in the background, great attention to detail
Frodo serving Robin Hood-realness at his and Bilboās birthday party. Literally iconic
Isildur taking the ring from Sauron. Its great but I would like to see more of Sauron than just his hand, because I think he has the potential to look really cool
Pippin jumping into the bath at Crickhollowā¦ no comment
Bilbo gives the Mithril coat to Frodo. Great poses, very stiff and awkward. I like it.
The fellowship. This one is a classic.
Gandalf and the balrog. Amazing
Boromir trying to take the ring from Frodo. I love the way he reaches for his sword, it looks very natural
Merry and Pippin and Treebeard. I like his legs and the fact that it looks like heās wearing shorts.
The battle of Helms Deep. This one is just great for a lot of reasons. I like how the orcs in the background are just happy and sad smileys. Gimli is throwing a rock at them. I donāt know who the guy with a red hat is in the background, but I love him.
Gandalf, Theoden, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli finding Merry and Pippin in Isengard ft fucked up Shadowfax. Look at them smiling!
Sam, Frodo and Gollum. Frodo got rid of his Robin Hood hat which is a shame, but Gollum with a beak makes up for it.
Eowyn protecting Theoden from the Witch King. The fellbeast is a crow or perhaps a raven. Merry is hanging on the side, stabbing Witch King in the leg and he looks amazing
Mt Doom. Frodo looks very chill about getting his finger bit off, and Sam is just kind of floating there. I love everything about Gollum
They don't make art like this anymore (possibly because various laws forbid it), which is a shame.

Starry Night Microsweater
2022 1.3" x 1.6" ~50,000 stitches, 76 stitches/inch 500+ hours in the making. Over 70 different colors of silk thread including thread combinations
Thatās Althea Cromeās work. Youāve seen her work before if youāve ever seen the movie Coraline because she did the teeny tiny star sweater and gloves for the stop motion puppets to wear.
She does, however, work even smaller.
Thank you @eloso - look at the tiny knits!

The powerful and majestic snorse
@animals-with-fan-art
Update: one of my friends was so captivated by the snorse I made him a sculpture
Thank you @quandocoeli what imagination!
I canāt stop drawing mantises I fear
Showing off the Arapaima I made! (Pattern also made by me)
This was the test of the new pattern and I love her. šš
Oh my goodness, this is so beautiful. Everything about this is perfect.
Knitting finished as of last night! Still need to weave in a few ends, wash, and block.
Was aiming for 48ā x 60ā, came out 39ā x 60ā so far, but Iām hoping to be able to block it to a little wider and Iām ok losing a few inches of length for that
Yeah sorry wasp haters but yāall donāt know shit. Have you ever even seen the cuteness of Bembicini?
What's little buddy doing?
Itās probably a female digging a burrow for her eggs :)

Oh that's a tumbler or roller pigeon! They're bred to do this! It's believed that the original inclination to tumble in the air was a tactic to avoid being caught by flying predators, then this inclination was bred in favor of doing it more. Some breeds can also fly normally for hours as well, and the most sound breeds are those that can make safe landings still. There's whole shows and competitions around tumbler pigeons!
There's more unsound breeds of course as well, but this one clearly has good control of its flight and landing. Well done pigeon!
Me: "I don't often cook but I'm going to quick look through my mom's recipe cards and see if I can find that specific recipe"
Me, 15 minutes later, sobbing: "Love is stored in handwritten recipe cards"
No but for real. Handwritten recipe notes like:
"Kenny's Favorite" "Bake for 45 minutes BAKE FOR 35 MINUTES" "This is from Suzy, back when we lived in St. Louis!" "VERY GOOD!!" (this card had oil stains and ancient bits of dough stuck to the back of it) "Great for dinner parties, can be made ahead of time" "Add some vanilla" with an additional note in different handwriting, "2 tsp vanilla" "I use butter, but Grandpa Rudy uses lard" "Love you! Gramma Emy"
Seeing the handwriting and messages from those no longer with us, or people who I haven't seen for a decade, or even people I never knew but who clearly shared in loving the same people I do - there is an inherent love in sharing food, and personal recipes are a way of saying, "Here. I can't always be with you, but I want you be able to eat well. I hope this food will keep you as happy as you were when I made it for you." And they remind us of all the people who have ever made or shared those meals with us. And love is stored in handwritten recipe cards.
