Syrza’s OLD art blog

I once posted my OCs and sometimes worldbuilding | main: kirinsect | Insta & Bsky: kirinsect | pls do not repost my stuff unless I made a thing specifically for you!

[kirinsect-archive]

This blog is now an archive! Pls go to @kirinsect where I will live and post more stuff n things

[kirinsect]

I will be merging my art blog @kirinsect with this one soon. I will adopt the kirinsect name since it has more staying power than my current url (a species of snail). Forever runs the kirinsect, the bughorse 🐛🐴

I HAVE to reblog this eleven million note post. That’s the most notes I’ve ever seen on tumblr. Also my name is Jade, not Amanda.

[bitchfitch]

yall know that post with all of those absolutely stunning crochet flowers? well i just bought a pattern from the shop those are from and Good Fucking Lord.

I was expecting a like a Chart or two, maybe some written instructions. not Seventy Seven full color pages for One type of rose.

this was like 8 bucks???? obviously i did some redacting but Good Lord. if you are even a little bit into crochet go throw money at this absolute Mad woman its Definitely worth it.

[bitchfitch]

back at it almost an entire year later. and i can now confirm she's this insane in all of her patterns (there's over 84 of them????) (<compliment)

she has also made a website since the first post (link) the patterns are cheaper there and the payment is handled through PayPal (and I'm guessing she gets a Way bigger cut of the money than with her Etsy so maybe check out the site instead) of the Etsy listed above.

also quick faq below the cut bc idk, supporting small businesses ran by WOC is important and this lady is rad. I just genuinely love her products and want more people to know about them.

The patterns are full color and come with charts, full color pictures, and standard written instructions with a key in the back and tutorials for all non standard stitches and techniques.

They aren't actually that difficult. I crochet very rarely (and mostly do amigurumi) bc of wrist issues and still had a really easy time working through them bc like, the techniques aren't basic but if you don't already know them you will know them after doing the pattern. A lot of the difficulty comes from using a very fine thread, but you can also just use normal yarn to have giant beautiful flowers instead of life size ones (i personally prefer a size 10 instead of the recommend size 40 bc it's easier on my wrists) Also here's a link to her shop where she sells the thread. it's an Etsy link bc i don't think she has a non Etsy site for physical products yet.

the patterns are All Really Really Cheap. that rose pattern i called 8$ is only 7usd on her site. the most expensive items i can find are 12$ and they're both bundles. One with 9 mini patterns the other with 16. you are getting a fucking Deal no matter which you buy by my estimate.

she has everything from like a million types of rose and from amaryllises to zinnias and she's making more patterns.

[bitchfitch]

I was window shopping and well. If you were hesitant about trying a patty pattern bc money is Tight for everyone rn. Here's one that just straight up free because she discontinued the pattern collection it was a part of.

also she has a new website and it's just nice :)

Is it time again for Fursona Friday? INDEED IT IS. Here comes a character belonging to @kirinsect!

Syrza, an insectoid kirin centaur! A huge nature and entomology nerd who spends a lot of her time wandering through natural spaces and identifying bugs. She doesn't mind sex but she will absolutely give you a bug fact or two before and after you're done. Some fun facts:

She cannot fly with those wings, but she can walk over living things without crushing them. She has to consciously intend to step on something for her hooves to make contact with it

Her mandibles and palps (face tentacle-thingies) are very adjustable. Also her nostrils are fake and smells using the top two palps

She's very slightly iridescent. ✨Shimmery✨

oh my god if this brush does what I think it does this might be peak

[bunabi]

Craziest brush of all time. It not an eraser. It uses the color mixing setting to bleed the layer into a geometric brush tip. I didnt know this shit was even possible. What the fuck. Here's the link!

[syrza-fr]

Gonna try to participate in Dergtober 2025 since I don't have much going on after work this month! I'll try to pace myself and dedicate 30min per dragon in the piece.

I'll be drawing my clan in the order they're supposed to appear* in my clan tab. For day 1 and 2, here's Emmex and Lakebed!

*my lair is messed up right now bc I'm in the middle of a gene project. Also Lakebed is temporarily a cirrus

The people who fire my pendants are so nice.. I send them stickers with my jewelry and they told me they put them all over the shop's bathroom. They reached out to ask me how things were and also say they noticed they didn't see me for a bit, feels nice to be remembered by strangers, just very sweet small business moments are really nice.

[iliothermia]

In case anyone isn't aware.. You can literally just make solid metal jewelry as you wish out of metal clay. These people are very kind. If you buy their metal clays you can mail them to them and they will fire them for free, you just pay shipping. It's a very affordable craft for something that will last forever.
