Hello! I've seen you on LHC time and time again but I'm too shy to send you a PM there... Just wanted to say you are too gorgeous to be true! Hope this doesn't sound creepy xx

Aw, don’t be shy! Thanks for your kindness. Hopefully we get to speak again someday. Best wishes to you!

So much happening in my life lately. I’m trying to surround myself with love to care for myself amid all the dark news and brutalities. Stay safe, everyone. ♡

yourmainsteez replied to your post:

Tell me more about this needle and thread.. I back combed too but yours look so much more kept than mine.

Aww, thanks, but I think yours look great? Although I don’t think mine are perfect either—we’re our own worst critics!

If you want to try it out, there’s a tutorial here. Anyone can do it, it works great, and it’s super easy.

Hi, I just saw your post about the triangle piercing. Do you, by any chance, have nipple piercings? That is my most daring piercing thus far and I was hoping for a pain comparison because I'd like to do the triangle too! Just want to be a bit more prepared.

I can't speak for everyone, but my triangle was more tolerable, especially in the long-term. It was pierced freehand (as opposed to clamped, which can sometimes make things more painful), the process of piercing it was shorter, and it healed much faster. The initial pain went away the second the needle passed through; but for my nipples, one of them hurt for days and the pain was dizzying.Again, this is just my experience, so take it with a grain of salt! Your piercer's training and experience will also make a huge difference too—so choose someone who knows what they are doing!

Hello, I saw your advertisement for your rainbow loc and I'd love to get one for my own locs. Are they different lengths? My hair is almost to my waist but I can just stick it in the front I guess.

I can certainly make accent locks in different lengths! The hair is about 40 inches long uncut, and I can make the locks even longer, if needed! Just give me a length, and I can make it happen. :)

Hello, I think your hair is lovely how did you do it ?

Thank you so much! I started most of my locs through backcombing (but when I do clients’ hair, I now use backcombing and crochet hooking). For maintenance, I use a needle and thread, and I occasionally retwist with aloe. To make them curly, I use loc knots.

Eventually something you love is going to be taken away. And then you will fall to the floor crying. And then, however much later, it is finally happening to you: you’re falling to the floor crying thinking, “I am falling to the floor crying,” but there’s an element of the ridiculous to it — you knew it would happen and, even worse, while you’re on the floor crying you look at the place where the wall meets the floor and you realize you didn’t paint it very well.

The person I love is powerful but vulnerable, wise but immature, there whenever I call but distant at the same time. They are a mess of contradictions. They don't know themselves. But I want to know every single thing about then and the way they work and think and feel and breathe. They are safety, they protect me, and even though it cannot be, I want them to be mine. We are connected and comfortable and tranquility and deep conversations and kisses on the nose and fire underneath.

I want you to be over run with love, I hope it covers you both forever.

One Of The World’s Last Remaining Globe-Makers That Use The Ancient Art Of Making Globes By Hand        

Bellerby & Co. Globemakers | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | Tumblr

In the modern age, with the advent of GPS in addition to the abundance of mass-produced globes and maps, the art of globe-making has seemingly long disappeared. Only two workshops in the world still make modern handcrafted globes; one of them is us…..Bellerby & Co. Globemakers, a studio based in London, England.

Our studio began in 2008 when Peter Bellerby struggled to find a quality globe for his father’s 80th birthday present. Faced with a choice between cheaply made modern globes or fragile, expensive antique reproductions, Peter decided to try and make his own. The process turned out to be more complicated and costly then he imagined. After two years of trying to create the perfect globe, Peter turned this newfound passion into an artisan business.

We now have a small team of dedicated Globemakers constructing high-quality, handmade, terrestrial and celestial globes. With bespoke cartography, each globe is made to order and essentially one-of-a-kind. From the various bases, to the painting, to the mapmaking, each piece is expertly crafted in-house using both traditional and modern techniques. We ship worldwide and undertake bespoke commissions of all sorts.
