Your own squishable flyboy - Atlas

So ugh... I might have got invested a bit too much into Cryptid Crush and this is the effects of that obssesion and a lil bit of free time. Um he is kinda the first character ever that I hyperfixated over so badly hah, but I can't help with how relatable and lovable this fella is Like this is maybe not as perfect as it could be, but I really wanted to do something else then quick art with him and I had things right there so....

Again, for maybe new people who will see my post, this is Atlas - he is the masterpiece of @squidinu, like go check him out there is so many good art on his blog

And yeah I just think he's neat

local shop for local people, I didn't have a chance to buy a crystal ball so I made one

I am at my Mom's over Christmas. Since it is 1000 miles and 4 countries away, I'm only around about 2 times a year, mostly summer and Christmas.

Today I was idling the rooms and caught attention of the many embroidery pictures she's created over the decades.

I almost forgot how many there were and how much they trigger me. Reminding me of (in my memory) glorious childhood days.

Apart from the artwork and the colors, my middle-aged once C64 addicted computer geek brain admires them specifically for their brilliant depiction of 8 bit computer graphics...

But that I'll never tell her...

KAORU Wood Stand 💜 - FINISH ⭐

Berlin 2024-12-18

.

He is 21 cm tall with base.

.

I love it 💜🥹

Hope you like it...

.

Material: wood, acrylic paint and finally brushed with silk matt varnish.

I made the hair on my pastel purple because it is better as a contrast than just white.

I have attached the original. I would have liked to buy the original, but over 100 euros for a small acrylic stand was too expensive for me. That's why I made this one out of wood. My wood is 21 cm tall with the stand. The original is definitely much smaller.

Alright. So. Brain fried after lessons today, got stuck on a tree, am sleep deprived and exams are soon BUT mom allowed me to show y'all the best forest spirit ever, my favourite, my sweet little child, plz don't run away I promise he's adorable

LOOK AT HIM

This is BABY. He is tiny. You don't understand how tiny baby is. You wanna know how tiny baby is?

HERE.

"Is that a hole in his body?" - yes. And you know who lives in there?

THAT'S A BIRD Y'ALL

"Wait, but how little is the bir-"

It's so little that the camera doesn't pick it up, but there are very small wings drawn on it with some light pink colour. Also I had to get it out with tweezers because my fingers are too big and it must be very cozy in there because the bird doesn't like to go outside (relatable)

(I am so afraid of losing the bird tbh. Gotta put it back in its tiny little hollow)

If you wonder what he looks like from the back - here.

Now please appreciate the ears with me. He has four leaf-looking ears on top of his head and two more human-like on the sides (the ones on the sides are pointy and have dots)

Hope y'all also noticed grass on his boots. And leaves and dots everywhere. And cat-like pupils. And that little drawing on his chest that kinda looks like the letter B? That's Berkana, a Norse rune that means birch and is all about safety, rebirth, peace, growth - ya know, a perfect fit for a forest protector spirit.

He also has an incredibly boopable nose.

And when he lifts his hands, they're the perfect width apart to hug someone's finger

*sniffles* b a b y

Now. I need to show you something else. Mom wants to make a better little house for him, but right now he lives in a paper nest in a pretty box. And he keeps his stuff with him. And I need you to see that stuff.

There is a pine cone, and a pretty little branch with some other cones, and a stick with a nice smooth texture (it's soothing and I love it). A little tree pendant, a cabochon with a bird, a picture of a faerie boy, a tiny bottle with pretty stones inside that rattle soothingly when you shake it, and a feather. I put the feather on him as a blanket when he's in his box.

I'm gonna cry. He's the cutest little creature. I love him. He's forever my favourite of mom's dolls. He deserves the world. When mom sells him, I'll legit cry even though I don't really play with him often.

I need to show him to as many people as possible because he deserves to be loved by everyone, so. Dear mutuals, I'm sorry but you have to see my tiny little baby. @void-of-unparalled-chaos @daydreamsandcrashingwaves @boopjuice @bloggerspam @lovelesslittleloser @ashoutinthedarkness

Just realized that I never explicitly mentioned it in the post, so attention everybody: MY MOM MADE THIS DOLL. MY MOM. SHE'S THE BEST. SHE CARVED IT OUT OF WOOD. I DON'T KNOW HOW. IT'S MAGIC. MY MOM IS SO COOL. LOOK AT THE DOLL SHE MADE. MY MOM. MADE THE DOLL. I LOVE MY MOM.

More Stunning Stitches for Crazy Quilts by Kathy Seaman Shaw

Quilter or not you will find something useful and inspiring in this book. 

Shaw first offers a section on the basics. These include information on needles, floss, and ribbon widths and choices. Then, clear sketches show how to make stitches with floss embroidery and with ribbon embroidery including little flowers, leaves, etc.. Then she has over 100 pages of photographs and sketches of various combinations of stitches, beads, even small buttons. Plain templates are included. 

As a dressmaker, I am thinking of how to use one of these lovely combinations on a garment, Maybe to outline a collar on a blouse?  the yoke of a child’s dress?  I am pondering possibilities to save time…. use my sewing machine’s many embroidery stitches... try a variegated thread... add silk ribbon via hand embroidery? A little handwork can go a long way. 

This is the second book of its kind, and you can find them both here: https://www.ctpub.com/more-stunning-stitches-for-crazy-quilts/
