"don't assign human morality to non human things" is so true except when it comes to printers. they know what they are, they understand dilemmas and ethics and morality. they choose to be how they are, they choose to be evil, at their very core they are rotten
Odds are the new Pokémon starters get announced today so here are my guesses for the design concepts:
Fire - fruit bat, red panda, or binturong Water - water buffalo (please!) or nilgai, Grass - slow loris or tarsier (PLEASE)
I’m going to be 100% wrong but let me dream
The Catalan Discworld edition is the best edition ever and you won't change my mind...
LOOK HOW PRETTY THEY ARE!!!
investigating designing a quilt block using a tremendously odd workflow of grid paper notebook & sketchup & clip studio paint
included a mistake or two to let the ghosts out. this was not foundation paper pieced, just a lot of noodling around

back at it with my Troubled Berries
Possum in the garden (flimsy, 48" by 51½")
#is the three pink blooms a more traditional block? It looks familiar #if so I love its inclusion all the more (tags from @leopardmask-ao3)
i'm responding to these tags so i can post my original mockup:
the three pink blooms absolutely is a traditional block that comes with a lot of different names and variations. i copied it by sight/with graph paper from the above image (Carolina Lily block by Quilt Missouri) and from this Bernina blog post about the Tulips In Vase block.
you can see i was planning to include more traditional blocks and got lost in the sauce of making stuff up. the less traditional blocks in the mockup are by BurlapandBlossom on etsy
ed: the possum is paper pieced! i learned how after making the first couple posts in this thread
i think the echo quilting kind of brings out a keith haringlike energy
Only thing left is to gift it! 🎉
This is incredible work!! What a joy, it's adorable!
Earlier this month, I finally put the finishing touches on a giant beetle that I've been working on since last Fall. He's about a foot wide with a reinforced carapace and six long legs suitable for skittering around on, so this was a hand sewing project that was even longer-term than I originally anticipated. That said, I'm so delighted with the final result! I often start with a bunch of quick sketches and work out the final proportions during the patterning phase, and think this design translated well to 3D. The general concept was a beady-eyed beetle with enormous eye-spots for predator deterrence, but the funky T-shaped rostrum from the final sketch ended up being my favorite feature. I just adore beetles and am already planning another insect-themed project.
Materials - heavy-weight sweatshirt jersey (body) with whisper weft fusible interfacing, polartec scraps (legs), embroidered details

Better photos to come, but here’s a beetle with beady eyes and prominent eyespots I’ve been slowly working away at for the past few months. I got a bunch of heavy fleece jersey on sale last year and had some textured polartec remnants that would be perfect for insect legs, so I decided to take a swing at an idea from my sketchbook: a gigantic beetle pillow. I love how he turned out but can’t recommend hand sewing jersey. Putting in a liner to stiffen up his carapace was a minor nightmare. Nonetheless - a fun project! I think a second bug is the top of my sewing to-do list for 2026.

Update
Hey, gang. Quick update: Bybloemen is no longer with Hiveworks. The Beelzeboys are independent contractors once again, so please excuse some mess as I sort out issues with web hosting over the next few months. I'm in the middle of busy season in my day job and didn't really anticipate this so it'll take me some time to figure it all out. Thanks for your patience!
Hiveworks Comics press release regarding the future of the webcomics site.
Breaking: Hiveworks shuts down print comics, will continue making webcomics.
Astrophytum myriostigma
This cactus is about a decade old at this point and graduated to a long tom pot this year. I grow this plant in a predominantly lithic mulch with a little bit of fine bark, to maintain the slow, steady growth rate seen in wild members of this species. Since it’s on its own roots, it has taproot the length of its body and tends to favor a taller, narrower pot. Can’t believe this guy was the size of a jelly bean at one point.
