some recent sketchbook stuff; usually try to fill up pages with multiple drawings but doing one drawing that takes up the whole page is fun

#also trying out a lineless approach #artists on tumblr #purely personals #sketchbook stuff #-squints- I've figured out how to take color accurate photos of sketchbook stuff #so hopefully that will also transfer over to when I take pics of rug hook things #crawls back onto the internet after being in cali for 2 weeks ough #already miss it #itching to go to teh museum soon

it got turned into a 17" x14" pillow instead haha

#rug hooking #artists on tumblr #fiber art #hnnnndgf the way the phone photo colors don't match up with how I see it is driving me a little nuts #every time but oh well >:'D #like the greens aren't as dull looking or as sharply contrasted in the detail photos #I'm glad I hoarded/saved the yarn that I precut for latchhook (which I abandoned after learning about rug hooking lmao)#because it makes for a very squishy pillow #(but also I think I def. could've stuffed in a litttle bit more before sewing it closed + didn't have a lot left)#blocked like...three other things when I was blocking this one #and the ones with non wool/funky materials were completely fine so that's nice to know haha #the back is an old flannel topsheet that nobody was using #anyways -knocks the fuck out-#edit: bb nephew recognized it as a cat so all is well/it passed hahah #also whoever said in tags that it looks great sensory wise to touch (or something like that my brain's a little fried still hhshs)#they are correct lMAO (even in general/ non pillow form I keep scrubbing my hands over them haha)#and when I was making the pillow I kept squishing it #muffled laugh

Sorry to make another gofundme but my landlord is selling this property & I've been served my 2 months notice.

As a poor dyke with no savings stuck on welfare I'm at risk of homelessness

any chance you'd be willing to show what your stardew farm looks like? i'm super curious, but if not no worries!

oH haha here you go :0 I haven't played in a hot minute (actually can't remember the last time I played?)

I usually tend to make my farms more function versus looking nice haha

#ngl opening it up made me think of the qol stuff coral island needs mdfhkgf #rambles #asks #squints #I also have a tendency to delete old saves/start over

after playing stardew for 1200+ hours and coral island for 100+ I wish more games with romanceable characters have the option where you dON'T date/marry them but you can invite them to become roommates/buds with you in your house (like in stardew where you become roommates with krobus :'D)

#rambles #delete later #be partners with me in game minus the romance/dating bits LMAOOO #muffled laugh #haven't really tried romancing anybody in coral island honestly fhkdff #I'm busy catching sea critters and fish 0:<#gameplay itself fav is still stardew but story wise I got really charmed by my time at sandrock and the writing esp. for unsuur haha #waiting to play fields of mistria when it's fully released but the little bit of early access I played was fun #also art nice :'D

speedrunning a bday gift for bb nephew hjdfgjh

#rug hooking #muffled laugh #wip #artists on tumblr #squints #honestly the difficult part is over( aka the cat) so that's good #I say speedrunning but it's in two weeksish #but it's kinda big? hgnng I want it to be an actual rug but since it's not pure wool idk how durable it would be #in the long run #which again I still wanna make a big rug for my room #so I can stomp around on it/test it out haha #being able to use the malabrigo chunky green yarn is very satisfying #also bless you chunky yarn which is making the progress go a lot faster haha #I drew a failed pattern on the other side of the backing and the fingertips on my left hand #look super bruised but it's just the marker rubbing off mhjfg #still like this style the most I think (the blended color type? like with the sea otter haha or the horse one #or like there's a big mix of textures/yarn size #coelacanth is fun but I think I got a little too nitpicky with it #lmao all my breaks between work have either been coral island or rug hooking #sort of related but there was a yarn shop I went to maybe 2 years ago?#and there was a yarn I bought there that I'm finally using up more and it's literally the softest/fluffiest yarn ever :'D #need to dig through my labels to see which brand it was #sorry to all the people who decided to open tags and got slammed with a wall of text/ramblings LMAO #edit: rip the yarn brand's actually been discontinued since 2018 hAHA

hi! I don't really know if you can awnser this, but I really like fish.... but I don't know anything about them. I want to learn about them and stuff, but it seems so overwhelming!! do you have a starting point or any tips? tysm!!!!

hello fellow fish enjoyer :0 and honestly seeing a fish you like/ are curious about and researching about it (videos, articles, wiki, etc) is a good way to start!

this wiki article is another possible route/starting point I guess if you want more background; there's a few sections that talk about the different groups of fish/sea creatures (like are you interested in invertebrates or fish only, saltwater or freshwater, deep sea or coral reef fish, etc haha)

there's also museums and aquariums if you have access to them! aquarium websites will also usually have a section with what animals they have and little info blurbs about them.

blue planet 1 + 2 documentary series is also a neat watch/start as well if you don't feel like reading a lot at first!

(..actually thinking about it blue planet might've reinforced or started my deep sea fish obsession haha when I first saw it as a kid)

#asks #delete later #hopefully that helped a little haha #should also probs mention libraries as well #for me sometimes I'll look up a fish and then that will lead me down a little rabbit trail of learning other stuff or creatures haha #story time haha but earlier I saw a video of someone handling what looked like coral and getting rid of a bunch #of tiny brittle stars hiding in the coral #and when I looked in the comments it was people going 'why are you touching the zoa with bare hands' and 'palytoxin!!'#no idea what either of those meant so looked it up and learned zoa refers to zoanthids (cnidarians aka group jellyfish are in)#and palytoxin is a toxin that can be incredibly toxic and can be found in some zoanthids (along in some other animals)#so basically if you don't handle zoanthids properly (like keeping it underwater/not out of water when transferring and NOT boiling it #because apparently boiling it (killing it basically) makes the toxins airborne??? which is fucking wild #you may get sick/poisoned #anyways -points- palytoxin very toxic thank you for coming to my wee ted talk KJSKJHF
