I know I should be working on my cardboard Mandalorian cosplay, but trying cross stitch has been a nice little diversion. This one is a gift for a friend 🧡 Don't want cosplay to feel like a job; gotta take breaks to keep it fun.

Cosplay Progress! Finally started my Cardboard #Mandalorian cosplay - both for fun and as part of our Eco-conscious #cosplay panels coming up this Spring. It's been so fun playing with subtle colour and texture changes with the cardboard 🤩 Hoping to have it wearable for #animenorth

Here's a few more pictures of my. favourite darning mends on my sisters campfire blanket! Besides the huge long hole, there were lots of little holes and singe marks in the blanket that were fun to mend. #visiblemending #mendingmatters #solarpunk #ecopunk

a long rectangular darn patch with pale golden yellow yarn going left to right and white yarn going up and down. The weave of the yarn forms a repeating white diamond pattern on a golf field where the corners of each diamond connect. There is a single stitch of white in the centre of each diamond. On the edge of the darned patch, a single stitch is extended from each from forming a tall row of yellow gold yarn on the left and ride side, and small white bars of stitching on the top and bottom of the darn.

Using the same white and pale yellow gold yarns as the last darn, this one is an oval shape darned patch with a basket weave pattern. The oval is split into unique quarters: one all white, one checkered white and gold, one all gold, and one checkered gold and white.

A small circular darn about the size of a penny is woven into the floral pattern of a green woolen blanket with golden brown flowers with white details. The circular darn shares similar colours so the blanket with a simple green and white checkered pattern.

A green and white square darn is woven onto the opposite side of the same blanket. This side of the blanket has a golden brown background with green florals and white details woven into the flowers. The darn shares a similar green and white and has a zigzag weave in it. The zigzags look like a series of chevrons on top of one another: thick green, thin white, thick green, thick white, and repeat.

Men assume Pride & Prejudice is a Hallmark romance when the plot is driven by the Bennet sisters’ fear of starvation because they will be homeless when their father dies. It’s a book about money, about people, and those who dismiss it as saccharine fluff are cheating themselves.

Goodnight. 🖼️ Woggle of Witches, Adrienne Adams.

An illustration from the children's book A Woggle of Witches by Adrienne Adams. It depicts a group of witches gathered around a long table in a dark forest at night. The witches, all wearing black robes and pointed hats, are shown in various poses, some standing on the table while others are seated. The scene is illuminated by torches, casting a yellow glow on the figures and the surrounding trees. A small bat is also visible flying near the table.

Hello Thursday. 🖼️ Lily Seika Jones

Painting, titled Naiad, depicts a large frog with detailed, prominent eyes, partially submerged in a pond filled with lily pads and white water lilies.
Above the frog, several long, wooden or carved objects hang from a bare tree branch, suspended by twine. Some of these objects resemble seed pods, while others appear to be carved into shapes, including one that looks like a small face. The background shows a misty marsh with bare trees and tall grasses.

Learning in school is not enough. You must continue to teach yourself throughout your life. Study history, read myths, memorize poems, get acquainted with the greatest philosophers & writers. In an age when tech is cooking many brains, we need an army of autodidacts.

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

So I learned a new pop-tab weave recently and I absolutely love it! I've been testing it with leather rope, ribbon, upcycled rickrack, and bias tape and seeing what holds up best. #upcyledart #ecofriendly #solarpunkfashion #diyFashion #diycrafts

a wrist wears two bracelets made from pop-tabs also known as. aluminum tabs. The first has woven together from aluminum tabs laid flat with two mango yellow leather cords weaving the two layers of tabs together. The second chain is made from linked aluminum tabs, 4 tabs make each link and attach to the next 4 in the chain.
Bellow the arm wearing the bracelets is another woven pop-tab bracelet in progress woven with black ribbon.

He's helping. ... Finally started the mend on my sisters campfire blanket. I'm starting with the small holes to get used to mending something like this. Its three layers of Yarn in the weave which Ive never worked on before. Im challenging myself to make both sides seamless if I can #visiblemending

A grey and white cat sits like a loaf on top of a woven blanket with scattered holes in it. A book on darning lies open on the blanket and a needle and threaded with warn has started created a the warp of a weave over one of the holes, but the cat is either oblivious of the work being done, or just doesn't care and wants to be close.

A yellow brown yarn is woven through a blanket over a hole in the weave. The brown c
Yarn is a little more golden than the burlap like brown woven into the green, brown, and white woven floral pattern.

To put this another way: you can't stop it from making things up because *literally all it does is make things up* It just generates likely text. Sometimes what's likely is also true. Sometimes it's not. This means it has the same relationship to truth as a magic 8-ball. Literally.

To illustrate further how big shoujo anime and manga was in the early 00's, these are just a few cosplay photoshoot / meet ups at Anime Expo 2004 (Anaheim, CA) highlighting series such as Fruits Basket, Fushigi Yuugi, and various CLAMP series. I really miss the massive CLAMP meet ups!

Finally getting back to a personal project. I got this shirt years ago from Micah Ulrich, but over the years the print has started to fade - so I'm trying to embroider it back. I'm not amazing at it, but it's looking better than faded. #visiblemending #mendingmatters #embroidery

Embroidered red stitched lines along side broken faded old silkscreened red lines and white swords.

Micah Ulrich's Nine of Swords illustration that I'm using to restore the image on my shirt with embroidery. It depicts black robe wearing reaper wearing a crown on a black background. The inside of the cape on the reaper's robe has stars and the moon shining. At the reaper's feet are a red lorel of leaves, and behind him is a black sun with red liniar rays. Floating above the crowned reaper is nine white swords creating a chevron pattern with the peak above his head.

I've been off work since Monday and today is the first time it actually felt like it. I spent part of the afternoon practicing sewing buttons on my flower combat pants. #mendingmatters #makerspace #handsonlearning #visiblemending #handsewing

behind a white button on camo patterned pants you can see the thread wrapped around the base of the four threads holding on the button. The wrap helps keep the button tight while also maintaining a small distance between the pocket and pocket flap when closed.

Pictured are two bright mismatched buttons on camouflage cargo pants pockets. The buttons are white and a marigold yellow.
