I was making some cyanotype images earlier today when I started thinking about sunlight and Project Hail Mary and then inspiration struck for a new print

And now it’s my headcanon that in the PHM universe, cyanotype and other sun printing methods gain massive popularity on Earth after Rocky and Grace save the universe because everyone is excited to have enough sunlight to be able to use it for art again

Going back to Zag's romantic relationships from Mel is extremely hilarious to me because of how comparatively well-adjusted he was.

Sure he done fucked up with Meg in the past and they had to kill each other as part of the job description, his sudden leaving seriously hurt Than while also having communication issues w/ each other, and there's the matter of Dusa being a lowly servant of the House. But in the end, he sorted everything out with 0 grievances from all parties involved (that one dialogue where Than admits Meg is the one who tells him to finally pursue Zag seriously warms my heart). Got the Mom(s) Seal of Approval™ even, and from Achilles too!

Meanwhile I look at Melinoë and she has a frankly criminal amount of situationships. Her rizz level is insane and she goes straight for the throat when flirting yet somehow her dating life is simultaneously a mess and nonexistent. Nemesis regularly kicks her into the dirt verbally AND physically but is the only person to acknowledge how fucked up it is that Mel is sent out alone in the hopes of killing an all powerful Titan that took SIX gods to kill in the past. "Fuck you and fuck your stupid frog in particular" then turns around and gives free Death Defiances. Her and Moros try to flirt with each other but they kept missing the mark because sometimes one of them says something totally unhinged like it was normal (I don't think watching people die is an appropriate bathtime conversation topic, my man). Her and Eris are a hot mess—literally with all those rounds she shot at Mel AND without a basis of workplace professionalism. Icarus is one shot nerve away from accidentally proclaiming his undying (literally) love to her but his guilt complex is hanging on to that nerve. And then there's Arachne and her not so little crush warring with the fact that said crush is family with and is helping the gods who cursed her.

Never have I realized how important it is that Zag has become a minor god of relationship counselling until I look at his baby sister and think, "yeah girl you definitely need help for all that shit".

I is working ToT

[stitchposts]

what is your LEAST favorite stitch?

I don't like counted work at fucking all. So: the cross stitch.

[rabbitindisguise]

reading this as someone who does cross stitch but is scared of the other kinds of embroidery is like overhearing an incredibly tall and buff person say they have beef with Mr. Tom, the kitten that chills at the bookstore

[stitchposts]

FUCK Mr. Tom and his stupid little fluffy tail ok. And his little charted designs.

[the-dragongirl]

Okay, but this neglects the true villain of embroidery stitches: the French knot

[stitchposts]

Don't you dare malign my girl again

[im-a-dream-wizard]

Ok the french knot is very useful but it is a BITCH to do it consistently

[stitchposts]

[ao3-anonymous]

We talk about how this website’s hate mail game is insane, but this might just be a new level

[talbatross]

"skill issue" made entirely from French knots is a next level roast. no coming back from that one. damn

Custom portugese man o´ war plush!

this bad boy features:

custom printed mochi minky (various colors)

many handsewn on (ouch) tentacles

faux fur details

is weighted

sail to tentacle tip over a meter long!!

i can confidently say i underestimated how much work this beast would be to put together. usually 2/3 of the work are done before the actual plush assembly but handsewing on all those tentacles into the faux fur definetly changed that here!

something that is hard to capture in photos is the almost iridescent quality of the tentacles which are purple and blue in base color.

I printed various gradiants of colors out and than pressed them into the fabric with overlaps to create a longer print than i could usually achieve with my at home setup!

i didn´t intend for that effect but due to the mochi minky stretching noteably when stuffed the base color showed through again and depending on how light reflects on the plush different colors shine stronger.

the effect is most noteable with the pink and purple print on blue fabric. so while generally fabric shining through is one of the biggest battles with sublimation printing it really worked out here and it´s a good example of why chosing a predyed base fabric can achieve a lot nicer looking and higher quality results than the standard 2mm white minky!

what you learn from hobbies:

consistent practice opens up whole worlds of skill that you couldn't imagine

making mistakes in the process of learning is not only natural, it is also essential

activities that you enjoy can give you more energy back than you spent on them

wow everything is so expensive

my hands hurt

I am pretty sure this is not what people meant when they asked me if I could draw Huntrix
