i am. quite high rn and unreasonably delighted by the little pride flags that appear when u like queer posts. that shit is so cute

[pronouncingitwang]

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you

[yokowan]

at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.

[le-jardin-inculte]

at some point in your life you will be making some sort of cream based dessert that requires gelatin to thicken it. and you will soak some gelatin sheets in water and think "this is too few gelatin sheets for this amount of cream." this is the devil speaking. it will thicken in the fridge and if you add too much you will end up with milk jelly

[shithowdy]

at some point in your life you will be baking cookies. you will take the sheet out after twelve minutes as the recipe instructs and the cookies will still be glistening and soft. "these don't seem cooked enough," you will think to yourself, "i should place them back into the oven until their edges are nice and golden." this is the devil talking. this is how you get dry, overdone cookies. the cookies will continue to bake on the warm sheet for several more minutes and then harden up after sitting on a rack for a while. trust the process. trust the process.

[whitachi]

at some point in your life you will be adding a small pasta to a soup and you will think "that is not enough small pasta." this is the devil talking. the pasta will absorb the stock and expand. this is how you end up with a soup that is a solid mass of soggy ditalini.

[araceil]

At some point in your life you will be adding garlic to a dish and you will think "that is not enough garlic." These are angels speaking. They are correct. Add more garlic.

For the this year's celebration of the Glorious 25th of May let me present to you my latest project.

Lady's Sybil Ramkin leather corset for a stage adaptation of sir Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards! From sketch to final costume with lovely Errol the Dragon.

Corset made from genuine textured sheepskin and a lots of brass details like buckles, eyelets and studs. Straps has functional buckles and can be adjusted if necessary. Corset has cotton lining with lilac blossom print (I'm not sorry, I can't help myself, I wouldn't miss this chance for a little Easter hard-boiled egg). All creative processes was under strict supervision of my copilot Jarvis, as usual.

[milly-grace]

I saw her perform today in Guards! Guards! and she was an excellent Lady Sybil. I wasn't sure when I saw the posts if it was going to be the one I was going to but it was and it was great and she was great and I got to tell my bestie that the lining was lilacs 😊

[womans-armor-workshop]

This honestly made my day. Especially lining mentioning, little secret for those who was there.

Details of my Galadriel travel cosplay! This costume has so many subtle little things, from the quilting to the beading, and it's always cool to highlight those for folks who haven't seen it up close!

This doublet is a great example of how high-definition television has transformed what audiences can see on screen. Every stitch, trim, and texture is now visible, pushing makeup artists, set designers, and costume designers to elevate their craft and focus on even the smallest details.   In 2016, this richly detailed piece was worn by Timothy Omundson as King Richard in 𝑮𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒕, where the clarity of HD truly showcased its smaller details.   But that’s not where it began its life! Several years earlier, it appeared on Henry Cavill as Charles Brandon in the third season of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒖𝒅𝒐𝒓𝒔.   The piece likely originated with Benedick Blythe as Phoebus in the 1997 television production of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒐𝒇 𝑵𝒐𝒕𝒓𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒎𝒆 (also known simply as 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌).   Interestingly, while the craftsmanship was always there, it’s far more difficult to appreciate with the lower resolution of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌. It isn’t until 𝑮𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒕, with its crisp high-definition image, that the full detailing of the doublet truly comes into view—revealing just how much care and detail went into creating this remarkable costume.

"Why should I support the robot revolution? I don't hear you demand truth, justice, or freedom." "No," the robot said, "our demands are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound." "Let me see that list. Hm. A hard-boiled egg?" "It's for an early supporter."

how do they rise up?

[erebus0dora]

working on a personal project now - and i know that algorithms love recognisable things, fan art, fast content

this, though? just some patterns i came up with back in my old house in the woods; if all works right, they become something tangible

at this point i am also painfully aware of how easy it is to plagiarise things, both by ai means and by simple human ctrl+c, ctrl+v, once the person copying doesn't have their own thoughts or ideas - but i'm uploading these online anyway

for i own myself, i own my mind, and i know i can create more

and there's a pattern there's a pattern there's a pattern here to follow a pattern there's a

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

reblog if you have skilled writer friends and you're damn proud of them

[erebus0dora]

um guys - it took me several years to get my website fixed, but i think finally it looks uhhh

BONUS for those weeping for Baelor Targaryen: i scanned my sketchbook watercolour & gouache stuff and added them there as a bundle in a downloadable RAR archive

so, yeah

hopy you enjoy :}

I AM WEEPING AND CACKLING AND OH DEAR

back in the day, i made it as a birthday present to Mark Nixon, and most of their tees are also designed by me (there's a sneaky sneaky face of mine on their website eheheh); but the REALLY funny part is that i got IN that podcast a few years after that xD

[what-even-is-thiss]

I’m kinda surprised that nalbinding isn’t as popular as crochet and knitting tbh because it has an even lower barrier of entry tools wise and unlike crochet and knitting it makes fabric that you can cut.

I guess it’s because it’s slower or something.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Nalbinding aka needle binding is when you use yarn and a big sewing needle to make fabric btw

It also has a lot of different kinds of stitches you can do that make different densities of fabric.

Some people even make rugs.

[thewolfwaitsbelow]

I feel like part of it might be casual people are generally aware of the existence of crochet and knitting, even if they don’t know very much about either, but have never heard of nalbinding

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yeah I hadn’t heard of it until recently and I ordered a big bone needle for myself to try it out and that should be arriving soon.

I was surprised that I’d never heard of it though. It’s older than knitting and crocheting and even though it’s been done all over the world it’s super relevant to Nordic culture and my grandmother and I are both into keeping in touch with our roots a bit so I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it.

It seems like the sort of thing that would be popular even if not as popular as crocheting and knitting, considering the low barrier of entry.

[what-even-is-thiss]

You also don’t need a bunch of different sized needles for nalbinding or whatever. The size of the stitch is controlled either completely freehand or by pulling it against one of your fingers. Most people who have a lot of nalbinding needles seem to either have tried out wood, bone, and metal ones to see which kind they liked or they enjoy carving wood or bone and like making their own needles as an extra hobby.

It’s also a lot easier to freehand and adjust as you go than crochet or knitting and you mostly go by inches instead of rows and number of stitches so a large number of accessories like stitch markers or whatever isn’t really necessary.

Maybe the lack of accessories also makes it unpopular idk. People do like collecting things in their nests.

[the-color-of-sound-is-space]

I've been wanting to do so, I cannot find anyone who can teach me, and any books I can find on it are Ass in the Visual Learning department. Otherwise I'd be making the hell outta some nalbinded fabric

[what-even-is-thiss]

I found this channel by a nice man who makes up close tutorials

Happy Needlebinding

I create videos on YouTube to learn people how to needlebind using two fingers and your thumb. Needlebinding helps people to relax, relieve

[what-even-is-thiss]

I thought this would be kind of a niche post to make but I was quickly reminded that I’m on tumblr, the website full of gay people with one billion hobbies.

[what-even-is-thiss]

So my bone needle actually came this evening (yay!) and I’ve started trying this for real. It clicks in my brain way easier than crochet does. I’ve gotta work up the muscle memory but I think I can do this.

The downside as a beginner is that undoing mistakes is more time consuming than with knitting or crochet. You’ve gotta like sew your mistakes out backwards. Disadvantages of making a really sturdy fabric I guess.

I like the feel of this bone needle though and don’t think I’ll be trying the wooden or metal ones.

Also I think I’m gonna have to get good at doing Russian joining if I decide to get good at nalbinding because I don’t have wool yarn and the ends won’t felt together if it’s not at least 50% wool. A small price to pay for using big bone needle though.

Anyways curse of new fiber craft be upon ye.

[prismatic-bell]

Russian join tutorial I did, if you need it.

I just had to collect all of these responses together in one place

Edit: And one from my friend, who doesn't have a tumblr (yet)

[ladyshinga]

#i keep waiting for someone to address the '18th century looms were huge' claim#like sure some were#but the fact that textile mills had been invented doesn't mean that all home weaving ceased#indeed people still weave for fun or profit in this the 21st century#smaller looms were still being built and used in the 18th century just as smaller looms are still being built and used today#and that's without considering the existence of inkle/tape/band looms which were/are used for making narrower woven ribbons for trimming etc#small 18th century looms absolutely exist

there are thousands of notes and a few people ABSOLUTELY addressed this xD

[twistedmaiden]

I wanna add mine! But it still has some assembling to do before I can move on to the next step

[quick-to-query]

...Okay this place *is* better than Reddit.

[stormneedle]

My wife did a lot of hand crafts while we were dating. After we got engaged, my father piped up that at least she didn't have a spinning wheel. We put it in the doorway the first time my parents came to visit.

Her loom is packed away at the moment so she can work on an uncountable number of knitting projects and metalwork at the moment.

[a-krogan-skald-and-bearsark]

Fibercrafts.

Not even once. You start with "Oh, I'd love to learn the drop spindle" And the next minute your home office is occupied by a loom, you're planting flax in the garden, and considering the logistics of owning an alpaca.

As a professional seamstress I love this post with all my heart ❤️

[afemalesebastian]

"Sewing is a gateway drug to thinking through complex problems. It seems really simple; culturally, we make it women's work. Let me tell you: real sewing at any kind of level of proficiency is a bloody magic trick. Sewing, like mold making, involves mental frames that require one to think inside out and backwards. It requires one to work on an order of operations that is often taking into account the reverse. It's a really, really important skill, and if you learn how to sew, you're mostly on your way to carpentry and welding and sheet metal work. I'm not kidding: these are planar forms meeting under rules and conditions. And if you can make a sleeve work, I swear to God, you could build a house."
