I think I'm going maximalist with the finishing of this piece. One test fringe piece and a spiral selvedge binding. I still have 13/17 motifs to finish. And for the top edge, I'm planning a 7 strand flat braid couched down

I think I might be a little unhinged but... I'm not happy with how bright the blue and green are. I'm seriously considering ripping them out and stitching in a different color. I'm using weeks dye works floss because I want the variation, but I have to order online so color matching can be tough

In other cross stitch/weaving news, I wove a band to test this linen and now I'm stitching on it! Strip is about 30x4 inches and I'll hang it on the wall when I'm done.

A little doodle of two of my long cat characters. Squiggle, who is themed after a 90s iconic jazz cup, is back to back with Arcade, who is themed after a 90s arcade carpet pattern. They’re laughing and looking like they’re sharing a good time.

Eisinglass sounds so cool. I KNOW it's not glass, is dried fish bladders, but hear me out. #YonderSkies has giant sky whales. Who's saying THEIR dried bladders aren't a perfect window material for viewing AND protection from the radiation particular to the gemstones of the Emerald Ossuary? #gamedev

I finished this cross stitch for a friend today! I love finishing them like they're little pillows. May have gone a bit overboard on this one but I love it

Random thought while Very Tired, but I feel pride in myself that I can look at the success of other artists, wish I was in their position, then realize I have my own path to find and walk, and be excited. I couldn't always do that. A large amount of my 20s and early 30s were consumed with jealousy

Thar he blows! Laid out the fleece I bought which I should have done first. The bit I ripped off came from the upper right, I think. I laid it on my deck cut side up and portioned into six one-gallon zip bags for washing. (I only have a foot bath for this process, so I gotta go in pieces)

@woollydespotweaver.bsky.social You know, I think this fleece might not be white! Two washes with dish soap and two rinses with water running clear and this Shetland is looking light tan!

I did not intend to buy fleece at the state fair. I do not have fleece money. This gentleman, however came into my hands for a song. I'm sorry you got 4th place (out of 4), but I will treasure working with you

The first time boot sequence should be: 1) whatever required logos you have (soft mood-setting sound optional) 2) first time config with light/dark adjust, screen options, and sound options WITH feedback 3) fancy intro cutscenes, etc This can just be first boot too, so 2nd+ is streamlined!

Okay, the 30dpi reed is working pretty well! I'm using 22/2 bockens nialin at 24 epi (sleying 0-1-1-1-1). Test weave will be a belt and coaster blanks for myself and cross stitch friends! #weaving #handwoven

I don't want to, but I think I'm going to have to return this reed. 30 dpi sounds wonderful for making fine fabrics, but I can't afford the yarn right now and it's too fine for my current project, which I bought it for. Also I could use the money T_T

Art is so hecking weird. Mentally, I groused and groaned and whined with every feather. But the final version of the first pass turned out better than I could have even hoped??? How does this happen? (PS: prep for so many texturing posts. So. Many.)

Yesterday felt like such a lucky day. Nothing big or earth shattering, just small things. I got a free gallon of milk at the store (I'm going to try making paneer) and I saw a monarch butterfly on the way home! There's a huge local push for planting milkweed and habitat, so I love seeing them!

Super pleased with how I've managed to set up the texture process for my gryphons. Substance Painter and Pixel8r. Need to rotate the UVs on the bottom beak though. Those diagonal pixels make me itch #indiegame #indiedev #yonderskies #gryphongame

Actually, here, let me show off one of my current projects! A pair of socks knit top down two at a time. Started while my husband was in the hospital, finishing now that he's learning to walk again! Yarn is a stardew valley color way from must stash yarn

What do we think is a good way these days to distribute physical PC/Mac releases? I haven't had a cd drive in my computers in a decade at least. I DID start looking into little USB flash drives and there are some options for plastic cases which is neat! So I could do it, but only very limited

yes, the industry is in a terrible state. it has been since the start of this unofficial crash, and for many people, it has been since long before that. that doesn't mean we pull up the ladder behind us! let people know of the reality, but provide tools you would've wanted when you started out.

Thanks @kellyknowles.art for the recommendation! Just got my Art glove from @bibiblossoms.bsky.social and I love it! I was worried about sizing because I'm so overweight. I went with the l/xl and it fits great. It's a touch long in the fingers but not uncomfortably so, and comfortable on the wrist!

Okay, I'm hoping that's the last of it. I've been using Claude to help get me up and running with Unreal, initially because it wasn't very good at blueprints and I was learning a lot through my own troubleshooting. But I'm taking those training wheels off, before I become dependent.
