General PSA's for begginer alt crafting

- superglue heats up when in contact with fiber, your craft can start smoking or even catch on fire

- you can wash clothing painted with acrylic paint in the washing machine if you turn it inside out and use the lowest temperature

- don't put painted clothes in the dryer.

- you can wash clothes with metal bits in the washing machine but use the handwashing setting, dry the metal bits with a paper towel before hanging them to dry, and know that it WILL be loud

- synthetic dye is needed to dye synthetic fibers and requires a long time simmering in a boiling pot. This WILL stink up the house and you NEVER want to make food in that pot again

- faux leather is vinyl not leather. Get vinyl paint to paint on it

- don't use your teeth as tools, they don't regenerate. Reconstructing enamel costs a small fortune (ask me how I know.)

- when handsewing a lot through thick fabric get thin needles, it will require less force and be less taxing on your wrists. When machine sewing get a higher grade needle (~130 for jean)

- embroidery floss is overpriced and not as strong as it looks. For sewing on heavy stuff get denim thread, it will last forever

- don't feed a 60$ home sewing machine ten layers of denim before you learn how much a servicing fee costs, these things are dellicate

- spray paint is best applied from 30-40cm away, in swift movements. Putting too much or applying from too close will cause drips. You can sand them down and apply a new layer of paint AFTER they dry. Wipe the can nozzle after painting if it's messy, you don't want it to clog and become unusable

- water based markers on fabric will bleed, if not instantly then with time, alcohol markers will fade with time

- most fabric glues are machine washable up to a certain temperature. modgepodge is not waterproof, hitack is handwash only. Check the instructions

- the flatter the surface the easier hot glue will peel off. Faux leather stands no chance, fibers like yarn will hold it best, but is impossible to remove the glue from them in the future

- rivets are a thing that exists, only require a hammer to install and can be used as permanent fabric attachment

- studs, gromets and other metal junk at small fabric stores are laughably overspriced

- acetone (found in nail polish remover) will remove acrylic stains out of furniture, flooring and faux leather, if used in excess can damage the laquer. Can also be used to remove prints and glue off of plastic (do a small test before commiting, might melt the plastic it it's grade is low)

- residue from stickers (and k-tape) can be removed with oil

- acrylic stains cannot be removed out of clothing or carpet so protect your area before painting and don't wear clothes you care about

- if your thread keeps getting tangled or snagging while handsewing try waxing it

- you can lock in screw-in spikes with screw lock glue if you're scared of them falling off because they unscrew

- you can add washers to screw-in spikes if you're scared of them falling through flimsy fabric or too big of a hole

- if you're making anything out of soda cans have a metal file on hand, they are deceptively sharp and will hurt you and rip through fabric you're installing them in

- bleach can be found in mold killing spray (don't touch that shit with bare hands. chemical burn.)

- fabric paints are no different from slightly dilluted acrylic. You can make it yourself by adding a bit of fabric softener to acrylic or honestly even water

- if you are setting anything with an iron use parchment paper or a pressing cloth to pervent your stuff from sticking to your iron and ruining it

- if you want a safety pin somewhere permanently pinch it shut with pliers

- as much as you can, avoid putting glue on clothing, it makes it really hard to change your decisions later on and upcycle the project in the future

- kiss your friends

I haven't drawn a Pokemon in like... a million years. Fun fact? Tracing pokedex booklet art when I was 10 years old is part of how I started teaching myself to draw! I took all of my sketches and made a "pokedex wall" on a giant piece of cardboard with 3 creases in it (it stood on its own like a privacy wall xD) and had all the drawings stuck to it. So anyway here's Spriga-TEA-to! 🍵🍃 get it? :D I also have stickers of this one in my shop if you guys are interested :3

Imagine for a moment you’re one of Lou Wilson’s new neighbors. This guy moves in driving the joker-mobile. He gives you his number and when your call goes to voicemail you’re treated to a full gospel choir. One day you catch a glimpse through his window and he’s just scratching hundreds of scratch-off lottery tickets. He owns two jet skis.

And like. It’s okay if you want attention. But be real about it. Do you shave your legs because you like them smooth? Or do you do it because you know it’s considered attractive. And ask yourself, could i work on finding ways to feel confident in myself that *don’t* rely on a cultural standard of what men find appealing. I feel like the make up industry has been trying to gaslight us into believing that women wear make up purely for themselves, but listen, if you can’t stand how you look without make up, that’s genuinely something you should work on.

Now if you thought about what OP said and you were like yeah i would wear this outfit at home and enjoy it and feel happy in it alone, that’s awesome. But if you think ‘lmao no of course i wouldn’t wear that if there were no people i was trying to attract around’ then, consider if it’s really something you *want* to do, and *choose* to do, or if it’s something you *feel pressured* to do.

I deleted the other response to this but basically, Feminism 101: (like 101 fr, not getting into complex or queer stuff)

-women should not under any circumstances be required to dress, do makeup, or act a certain way for male approval.

-women should be allowed to just as little or as much as any man does. And be treated with the same respect.

-performative femininity is not feminist just because it makes you personally feel confident

-feeling confident and being empowered are not the same thing.

-you can choose to still dress a certain way because you want to, if the attraction and attention are part of what you want, but to be a feminist you MUST support the right of other women to choose to Not Do That. And demand that the woman wearing blue jeans and a tee shirt be treated with the same respect as you, AND that you *both* be treated with the same respect as the men.

Blah blah obligatory reminder that “most” doesn’t mean “all” and that some people do xyz but that doesn’t apply to everyone. Okay cool.

tbh on some level i do think it becomes a myth that most women dress seductively for themselves. if you ask a skinny beautiful woman why she likes to wear uncomfortable heels and tiny skirts and hours worth of makeup and hair styling she says it makes her feel confident. why does it make someone feel confident? it’s because she knows she looks desirable. who is she desirable to? men, mostly, because her “personal style” lines up with patriarchal femininity. like once you dig a little bit into the “why” part choice feminism becomes misogyny in a barbie pink package. obviously i’m not saying the only way out of patriarchy is to stop being effeminate at all, but the fact of the matter is that strictly conforming to what men want from you is never and can never be feminist, and that the reason for doing so is almost never truly about personal comfort and independent choice. you, self described office siren, would you dress that way if you worked from home? would you dress that way if it was guaranteed with 100% confidence that nobody will ever see you like that? the intention is right in the name of the trend: to attract men’s attention. like it’s so fucking silly to act like any of this is empowering or a free choice. i’m not stupid. you may be stupid enough to think you’re doing it for Yourself but i certainly am not

the unicorn, freed

the original "unicorn in captivity" tapestry actually represents a happy confinement in marriage, with the pomegranate tree and various flowers symbolizing marriage and fertility. so you could say that I have drawn. horse divorce

I think some of you forgot that autistic people sometimes act strange and say things that are poorly worded and speak with incorrect tone and misunderstand or miss social cues because they are autistic
