Wow! dye processes on my art blog?
The red pieces are red linen over dyed with indigo
The central piece is white Kona cotton dyed using painted mordant with cochineal
I can’t wait to make things from these fabrics!
The center piece will just be made into a bandana and the others will probably be sewn together in some way

I Need you all to stop and watch this fucking video in its entirety. Even if you have seen clips of this scene, you need to watch the full thing. This is the most batshit thing ever put onto tv and it’s how the fucking season STARTS
for the record the beef stroganoff song is two episodes later
They should've shot it down.
btw if someone claims you have to contact them for an unauthorized transaction to get a refund just know its a scam because if they knew it was unauthorized they wouldve blocked the charge
advice for old people as well as new adults
they will usually say its unauthorized to scare you into clicking a link, basically
everyone talks about how strong and great Aragorn was for refusing the ring when Frodo offered it to him as if this man has not spent his entire life dodging leadership and responsibilities like bullets in the matrix 🙄

Well that’s not so crazy I mean how much could–
OH
I never guessed that in my adulthood, I’d be relating to Calvin’s parents as much as I do in this comic.
Because damn … Calvin’s dad was so right.
This is part of an arc where their house got broken into and they have to deal with the ensuing fallout.
Calvin and Hobbes was some real shit, my dude.
Reading Calvin and Hobbes as an adult is a VERY different experience than reading it as a kid.
I always liked this arc because they were out of town when the house was robbed (I think at a wedding?) but Calvin forgot Hobbes. So when they get home and realize they’ve been robbed, Calvin is super scared Hobbes might’ve been stolen. For some reason the last panel when the parents are happy that Calvin has his buddy again just always moved me.
Also this part:
I love David so much.
I learnt to spin in the rural Andes of Peru. I was five years old and already alarmingly behind the curve. [...] It took me over three years to become an adequate spinner. The year I was eight, my spinning was considered acceptable in quality by Andean standards (if slowly produced). Andean weavers require one type of yarn, fine and strong and smooth - and they are exacting judges, so this was no small feat. By this age, most girls in my peer group were spinning yarn for the family's weaving supply. Others had shown particular gifts for spinning and produced yarns for some of the town's finest weavers. The rest of us, the merely adequate young spinners, regarded these girls with mild awe. Although it might sound like we'd spent our childhoods being sternly schooled in how to spin (and we had), our textile activities were our primary social outlet. We went out in the Inca ruins to pasture sheep, taking our spinning and weaving with us. We raced up and down hills and terraces, played tag, and gossiped. Spinning was one more game, even though we knew it was an important life skill. Those girls who were fast, perfect spinners at that age were like the girls who could sing or dance or run the fastest, only spinning was more important than that. And we were competitive: we challenged each other to improve, constantly. By this time we were fearless with our spindles, which were never out of our hands unless we were weaving or eating. We spun while running, jumping, chasing sheep. We would pass spindles to each other while walking, talking, and spinning on them; we spun off the sides of Inca terraces, hearts pounding while the other girls watched, joking, chattering, saying, "You can't do it! It's going to break! You'll be chasing that spindle all the way down the hill!" The really good spinners never had to chase their spindles. As for me, it was a good thing I was one of the faster kids, because I chased my spindle a lot. With these games and challenges and the strict standards of our elders, even the completely average spinners among us became capable of production spinning. It was simply part of our lifestyle, as commonplace and essential as tying shoes or talking on the phone are in the industrialized world.

Deltora Quest lore and the logic behind most of the plot points and characters is upsettingly rock-solid tbh EXCEPT the thing that lives in my brain rent-free which is the fact that Barda just fucking lived in Lief's woodshed for 16 years. Like he was the family dog or something. BARELY EVEN A SHED TOO LIKE HE JUST SLEPT IN THEIR YARD. Lief's parents were such assholes for that like "ya we have the resources to feed you and compensate you for protecting our son 24/7 but can you please sleep in the yard and pretend to be an infirm old man instead of making up a plausible backstory for why you live with us?" "Can't I just pretend I'm related to you?" "No." "Why?" "Because it would be really funny. Also we want our son to think you're a freak." WHY DID THEY DO THAT??? Literally the only plothole in the whole fucking series...
Reminiscing ab Deltora Quest to my friends who've never read it like. Yeah they almost get eaten by a forest monster. And also some spooky monsters in the woods. And some more spooky monsters in the woods. And a frog. And there was this cool tree that made fruit that would paralyze you when you ate it (so another monster could come eat you)
Honestly I'm actually forgetting more than a few but getting eaten was like Emily Rodda's favorite threat to throw at the heroes. Like by a lot.
Pov: you grew up reading weird fantasy in the early 2000s
Roddacember Day 15: Playful
Imagine you're a teenager, out of the house for the first time, and you've just spent the last few months on the road having really traumatic adventures, up to and including actually dying and suddenly a life-size, flesh-and-blood version of your favorite stuffed animal walks up and asks you if you wanna play hide and seek. Of course you wanna play hide and seek.
Some embroidery I did on a linen project.
I am really proud of it, now you have to look at it 👍

This is a comic I entered in a competition a year ago. I had started drawing again after a 4 year break, and it didn’t win anything but I still like it. My style has changed a lot since then - this was hand-painted on four A4 sheets (hence why it’s quite squished), and took me forever. I cleaned it up a bit on photoshop and reposted, hope you like it!
HOLY FRIGGIN FRICK u guys this comic just got shortlisted for the @capegraphicnovels Graphic Short Story Prize prize!!
VERY unlikely I’ll win but I don’t even care, imma turn up in a ball gown anyway and cry all over everyone 🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾
