#Special Craft

[the-faultofdaedalus]

magic system where “dark magic” and “light magic” are literal terms - dark magic consumes photons, making an area around the spell visibly darker, sometimes to an Extreme extent, and light magic releases photons.

because of this most dark mages tend to work in very brightly-lit areas (either artificial light or outside in the daytime) to fuel their spells and wear and use lightly coloured clothes and tools so that they’re easier to see in the dimness their spells create, whereas light mages wear heavy, sometimes leaden robes (depending on the work being done) and the magical equivalent of welding masks to protect themselves from what can be an extreme amount of light, and sometimes other kinds of electromagnet radiation!

needless to say this is incredibly confusing for anyone unfamiliar with the culture

I like the concept of slugcats using various flora as head accessories. Like Monk tying the wheel flower around their ear. Please excuse the rough sketches.

Artificer's pups would gift their parent a cherrybomb plant to wear, reminding them of their explosive abilities.

Survivor would tie the batnip plant to attract bats to it, a survival tip that their parents may taught them.

Hunter will wear the dandelion peaches that can be found in Sky Islands. Although this is quite of a distraction from their mission, Hunter thinks that they deserve to look pretty too.

And finally. I can imagine rivulet gathering many flowers that they find pleasant. bubble/glow weeds, Lilypucks and etc. And gifting these to Moon or their lizard friends.

Lucifer created his own rose bush right ... did he do it by cross pollination/breeding roses or did he use magic?

Because in one hand, aww cute Luci likes roses and made his own out of his magic.

Or the other hand

Lucifer is a huge fucking plant nerd and loves gardening and is a plant dad/mom and that is even fucking cuter

Finished my Season 10 Joel cosplay!!!

I wanted to incorporate his build style into the design for the costume, so it’s cyberpunk with Sakura blossoms! I’ve also got honeycomb smocking for the cuffs to tie in his bee farm. That took forever to do but I just had to include it!

I’m so glad I got this done in time since the blossoms bloomed early this year and I really wanted photos with some pink blossoms! I’ll probably post some bts and more details about this design but I just love how this turned out!

It’s so crazy to think I’ve been watching Smallisbeans content off and on since the days of CrazyCraft. I’m so glad Hermitcraft/the life series brought me back, I’ve missed the chaos.

It's my 30th bday tomorrow and I've been wanting Pikmin as a theme for a while so I scrounged some cookie cake decorations for myself last minute! I wanted them extra scrungly and gave them those big candy eyes lol

The fairy Pikmin ended up turning out the best, which is funny bc it's the one I did first to try and that one turned out horrible 😭 The pink was fine and going on but I tried the other kind and realized it was Very Runny. Rip

Also did a bonus pellet with my age that will go in the middle of the cheesecake~

"Yeah I should practice making the poofy dress poofy even in motion" *does not do that*

[celebrimbor-apologist]

I can’t get over the fact that Celebrimbor never stood a chance. If he had not let Halbrand in, he would have changed form and come back. I truly think that Sauron could have easily done that, but preferred to keep the face as Celebrimbor already knew and trusted him.

And that’s it.

He hasn’t stood a chance since Halbrand first met him, he’s the tragedy that haunts the narrative in the doors of Moria, in all the rings, as even the One was done as a mockery of the art of Celebrimbor himself. Of the good intentions he had. The hope.

There is no version of this in which he makes it because he is a tool to Sauron’s plans, just another tool to craft the rings.

And all else he is, passionate and hopeful and Smart and clever, the compassion and love and kindness? That all gets lost. And that’s the tragedy.

Y'all!!! At long last I have completed my friends video game sweater! He said it was "absolutely kickass" which is nice.

This was my first time making clothes for someone other than myself and while there are obviously things I would improve on I'm still really happy with it.

Video game logo and "soon" as well as "true love is possible" on the sleeves are done in duplicate stitch.

God, not me going down a rabbithole learning about traditional vietnamese lacquer painting and being overcome by the need to get into this craft. Like, perhaps I am Many-Much biased but sơn mài is one of the most unique and beautiful styles of lacquer art. I wish this artform had more international recognition because it’s absolutely incredible.

And I’m so pissed that there has been little to no international interest in it, because I’ve been obsessed with lacquer art since I was a kid, but whenever I tried to learn more about the process, all the info I found was about maki-e. Even now, when I look for materials to try it myself, I’m stuck with sourcing urushi, and it’s kind of heartbreaking. I want to learn and participate in my culture’s artistic heritage, but the only way for me to do so is to rely on another culture’s popularity and materials.

There is nothing else in the world like this. Like, holy fucking shit.
