Anthropeum

A daily game that challenges our understanding of human cultures. Ten objects. 5,000 years of human history. Guess where and when each artif

An interesting game where you are presented with 10 artifacts from the MET. You have to place where the artifact is from and what time period it is from. Each artifact scores up to 10,000 points, and you lose points the further away your guess is and how far off in time you are. You can only play once a day. Thanks to @baebeylik for showing this to me.

Today I scored really well. Yesterday ... not so much.

This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.

Some of the bleach burned thru the shirt bc this was my first time bleaching anything ever, but it kinda adds to it.

the thing about fiber art that nobody tells you about is that every single kind of fiber art is a gateway drug to other kinds of fiber art.

[amymon-arachne]

Okay, but super curious now. What kind of path have people’s fibre arts journies taken?

For me it’s cross stitch -> tatting (only mild success) -> weaving (rigid heddle -> inkle -> 4 shaft) -> spinning -> knitting.

I did technically also do sewing in middle/high school but I don’t count it because I didn’t enjoy it enough to stick with it.

Next one I learn will either be bobbin lace or crochet, but that last one will be probably be kicking and screaming because I have to join my blanket squares together, rather than actually wanting a new hobby. Or maybe dyeing fibre with food colouring, but that depends on when I get my kitchen back from Renovation Hell.
