does anyone on here do fingerweaving, and how do you deal with the skin picking up below your cuticles? thinking about this in preparation because our skin is a bit shit tbh

sticking plasters feels overkill maybe?

[thegirlnoonetexts]

I don't fingerweave, but i do spin, which has similar issues with rough and torn cuticles and fingers. So far i've been just trimming any flyaway skin before i start (or when i notice it causing problems) and bandaging any really bad cuts. If you don't have a cuticle trimmer (different from nail clippers; the height of luxury in my house), i do recommend getting one. They can trim much closer to the nail bed than regular clippers can, and they're sharper to make cleaner cuts.

I know some people use various moisturizers and conditioners on their hands before/after spinning because the fiber tends to pull out moisture. I do not, however, know what these products are. I imagine they would also help with fingerweaving.

That, and also at one point I did a piece with very fine thread and I had my nails done like gel manicure (no extension) and that weirdly helped. I was doing the mani myself so it was nothing too fancy or expensive. I also carry a nail file in my project bag(s) to take care of impromptu broken nails.

Hey can you guys reblog Cheeseburger so he can take a sunbeam nap on lots of blogs. No other reason I just want you guys to see him.

[kitteniestkitten]

I'm currently working on a piece of code to help me visualize fingerweaving patterns, my process is half chaos

Probably half French too

[kitteniestkitten]

I'm restarting this project and redoing it from scratch to move from matrice transformation concept to a more OOP script.

dammit the desire to learn ceinture fléchée is fiercely upon us once again (just look at this!)

just joined english and québécois french groups on fb looking for advice on beginners' books, really want to play with this!

I know the artist for that last one!!

Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.

If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.

If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.

Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.

Thank you this is the first post about self love that hasn’t made me want to throw things

[leebrontide]

This one. This one’s a game changer.

as white westerners we looooove to consume and repost beautiful pictures of indigenous clothing and art without any sort of identifying information and while i dont think its meant intentionally as exploitative most of the time i try to add contextual information whenever possible, not least because the people in the photos actually deserve credit for what theyre wearing and their personal style like anyone else who dresses themselves. i also think consuming these images unsourced and uncredited and without context contributes to the racist and hegemonic erasure of differences between extremely disparate peoples, you get a lot of western referents to "african tribal art" and shit like that and it's nonsense. the continent is huge, the indigenous peoples are incredible varied (with more genetic variance than people outside of africa actually) and their individual styles reflect not only their individual lifeways (pastoral, agricutural, nomadic, urban, whatever) but their own personal aesthetics within the frameworks of their cultural mores. i think consuming these images without identification of even which ethnic group they belong to erases their individuality and personhood. so yeah i do think northerners should know the difference between the Dinka and the Maasai and the Wodaabe and the Hausa and the Himba et al

Wild to see them all like this. Anyway, I think I'll be doing a drawing thing this year. It has less broad appeal but I want to learn how to stop being ashamed of and enjoy making art again and if I've learned anything from 2025, it's that consistency is the key to making things stop being so daunting.

I'm not going to do another big long post, don't worry, but hopefully I can come away with 100 drawings at the end of the year, and maybe I will even post some.

If you're any of the people who reblogged my soup post saying something along the lines of, "I wish I could do something like this," I just want to say that you can. Set that bar low. Start with 1, I don't care. Then make another. Don't live in a household that enjoys soup? Neither do I. Live somewhere where it's warm most of the year? It's legal to have warm things still, most of my soups were made in spring and summer and I enjoyed all but one of them.

If a custom, habit or perceived rule keeps you from doing a harmless thing that you enjoy, it is worth sloughing off.

Fuck that shit, make soup*.

It's The Soups™!

[feaftlikeabeaft]

I wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go “oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!” and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say “it’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced case” and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it can’t infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying “well done, you’ve been so brave, I’m so glad you’re ok. I love you.”

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Gonna make one hundred soups this year. Starting off with kapustnyak, carrot soup, chickpea soup, and parsnip soup.

4% complete.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

8% complete baybeee. This may end up being a long post. Hope you like the colour of the soup.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Can't stop won't stop. 15 soups so far.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Slowed down for a minute because vet bills ate up my grocery budget but made it to 20%, baybEEEE.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Whoops I slowed down but BAM, 25%. I'm gonna make a comeback baybeeEEEE.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

I AM BECOMING SO POWERFUL

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Four new BEAN BASED SOUPS, the first one trailblazing because it was a taco soup recipe courtesy of @alex-of-1000-dumbasseries. 61 IN THE BAG, 39 TO GO.

I am also linking my soup planning doc because I can, and it's easier than tagging all of them individually.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Have I lost all my followers yet? NOT YET. Time for more soups. I'm up to 70 now.

[themythicalcodfish]

OP this is a gorgeous post and I’m so proud of you

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

Thank you, I will take these codfish words to my grave. Also, I have achieved 8 more, putting me at 77 soups. How is 70 plus 9 photos 77? I'm glad you asked.

Earlier, I forgot to include a photo of my cock-a-leekie-soup (#57) - pictured above as the first one of this set - and also I MADE TARATOR TWICE by accident so I've struck one from the record since I'm trying to make 100 soups here, not 99 and one twice.

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

A new bowl approaches. Bought myself some soup bowls from the 70s with goofy little geese on them for my own birthday (though I did not get them in time for my miyeok-guk), because what else is free will for. This puts me at 86. I JUST MIGHT MAKE IT? SOMEHOW?

[formaldehydedoesstuff]

A COLOURFUL BATCH featuring another Certified Tumblr Soup because people kept recommending Yeto's Soup, and they were right.

How am I at 92? ALL MY LIFE I'VE BEEN A QUITTER.

[kitteniestkitten]

More soups dropped! This is incredible work, I love the idea!

[wefty-weaver]

New project

This one is a classic Acadian. Not a whole lot of switching, thank God. It should work up pretty quick. :)
