How to make a back-patch: Hancock edition

Hey guys! So the tutorial for the Hancock patch is here! So the standing rule on this patch is "you can use my art and make your own, but you are not permitted to make money off it." But man, make your own, go nuts!

Steps 1 to 5 are mostly about how I made the image itself. Steps 6 to 9 are about making a patch once you have your final image. Skip ahead if you need!

So here's the supplies I personally use for these patches -

Tulip fabric paint, black and white

Talc powder

Charcoal powder

Tracing paper

Paintbrush

Fine-tip squeeze bottles

Fabric

My computer

Tape

A thumbtack

A pencil

And to be clear, these are NOT the only options. I've done this with black or white acrylic paint instead of fabric paint, it works fine. If you don't want to bother with the squeeze bottles you can use a paintbrush instead. If you don't have talc powder, cornstarch would work. If you can't find powdered charcoal, you can crush some up like I did, or use graphite, or literally whatever. You get the idea.

If you're going to be using the fine-tip squeeze bottles, now is the time to put your paint (fabric or acrylic) into the bottles and thin them with water to your level of comfort. You WILL need to test the paint on some fabric first, to be sure you can apply it evenly and that it flows well. If you're going to use acrylics, I highly suggest you add a drop of retardant to the mix ALONG with water.

2. I find my images for the figure I'm drawing. Yes, we're tracing: this ain't fine art and we're not gonna be snobs. Here we have John Hancock from the game and John Hancock IRL Danny Shorago.

3. I trace my images! You may notice my two reference images are the same pose! I'm gonna trace the first one by taping my paper over my computer screen and drawing LIGHTLY.

When I had the basics for Danny's proportions down, I left the paper where it was and moved the image of Hancock underneath the paper and traced what I needed from that image. That gets me this double-layer image.

4. I decide which of these lines I want to keep. Even with the faces for John and Danny lined up proportionally the shoulders and neck length of the two figures are pretty different. I decided that I wanted to go with narrower shoulders, and free-handed in the ruffles for his shirt.

5. Now I merge the two faces. I have to get the skin texture from John onto the face I have, which is mostly Danny. I kept up a whole screen of reference images for this process so I could decide what I wanted to pull from where.

And I leaned hard into the skull for his cheekbones and nose. You can see I actually used a colored pencil to outline those skull-like elements before I chose my final lines, and used another piece of my own darn art to add a chin scar I just really like. It is NOT a bad idea to trace a SECOND COPY of this image AT THIS TIME. Your image will be getting really dirty and messed up in the future, so unless you want to start over, you should make a spare copy (spoiler: I didn't do that and had to do this whole thing a second time to make a second patch...)

6. Align your fabric and your tracing paper up and tape first the fabric down THEN the paper on top, separately.

7. Poke holes! Use your thumbtack to poke holes along the lines you're trying to transfer. The way I'm doing this patch most of the image is white lines on black fabric, with SOME black lines on white for his face, neck, and shirt. For that reason, my transfer process is gonna be in TWO parts, one to lay down the white portions and then later to put the black lines ON TOP of the white areas as needed. I don't have a photo for this step: poke holes, you know how to do that.

8. Apply talc/powder to the image and use a paintbrush to gently brush the talc over the surface. You can use the brush perpendicular to the surface to GENTLY push the powder into the holes from the thumbtack holes.

9. Peel off the paper GENTLY. As you can see, I didn't even poke holes for the lines in his face, just the outlines for what's going to be painted in white. What you have is a little connect-the-dots to apply white paint to.

10. Apply white paint and allow to DRY COMPLETELY.

11. Once the white paint it TOTALLY DRY you're going to repeat steps 7 to 9, poking holes in the locations that you want to have BLACK lines appear. For me that's the details on his face and shirt. Instead of talc, the powder I used was crushed vine charcoal. You can see I'm starting to apply the black paint along the lines of black spots of charcoal.

12. Add, like, words and stuff! Also clean up, and fine tune, etc. You did awesome, and if it didn't turn out, well you DEFINITELY made a spare copy like I suggested you do in step 5, right?!?! Right.

Some notes:

This process also works on tee shirts if you want, but definitely use the fabric paint and not acrylics or the paint will flake off when you wash the clothing. Instead of taping the shirt down, I suggest you thumbtack it to a board or to some thick cardboard to keep it still while you work.

If you don't have a computer/screen you can trace on then print the images you want to work with and tape them to a window to use as alight-box.

You don't need to use the charcoal, honestly. If the design is simple or you're feeling like a BAMF, you can skip the black paint and the black powder and just use the negative space of the black fabric instead.

Tracing, and I cannot say this clearly enough, is not cheating when you're not tracing someone else's art. Trace a face. Trace a figure. Trace a landscape. I don't care. If you're tracing any image, you're going to need to do a lot of work to make your shitty traced image (my step 3) into something that looks like art (my step 5). That act of work, that's making art. Congratulations.

If you made it this far and REALLY want to donate money to me over this, don't! Maybe donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund instead at pcrf.net because that'd be SUPER cool.

Hope some or all of this helped someone somewhere be a cool punk badass like everyone's favorite Mayor.

please please please write something about big, muscly, manly Patrick Zweig being deathly afraid of spiders

Little friend: Patrick Zweig x fem!reader

Blurb. I had 5 years by Bo Burnham playing on my mind while writing this and idk what that says about me 😅 Btw I have realized that I have a thing for big men who would seem strong and actually are losers. Enjoy your treat 🫶🏼

Masterlist Characters I write for

Getting your boyfriend to stop by for a visit on campus when he was in the middle of tournament season resembled too much to mission impossible. Art, the person who knew him best from his childhood, would say it would be almost a miracle. But it is well known that only two supplies were needed to make a prodigy. A bit of charm and a saint, luckily you had both.

So there you were sitting on the bed in your bedroom, a romantic movie on the laptop in the background and some takeaway food that Patrick wasn't planning to pay much attention to. He had never been too discreet in his intentions, and now with the sweet kisses and the occasional nibbles on your neck what he longed for was clearer than ever. When you had decided to stop teasing him and finally give him the attention he wanted, a little friend decided to join the party without invitation.

“Look at that!” You chuckled gazing at the bug which was now resting on the corner of the screen “What are you doing here little one?” You whispered to the spider.

Before you knew he was standing in the middle of the bed. Face white as talc, even though he tried his best to hide it.

"Baby, are you okay?"

"Yeah, sure" A nervous laugh was all that he managed to say "Why wouldn't I be?"

"Please, don't tell me you are scared of this little one?" You couldn’t help laughing a bit although you did’t want him to feel embarrassed for his phobia.

"Little one??? How could you consider that thing little???” There was no denying it anymore, his cool facade had completely fallen down.

There was no way to be calm when a gigantic (or so he thought) fluffy and nauseous eight eyed monster was ruing your date night. How could you not understand it?

“Come on Pat! It’s just a bug”

“Just a bug? Just a bug, y/n?” He tried to move the laptop away with his feet but that only made the spider fall into the bed. The state of panic he suffered went from bad to worse.

“Fine, would you feel better if I let you kill it?” You resolved, downplaying the issue.

“You can’t be serious! That thing could bite, sting or God knows what else!"

"Pat, grow a pair”

"Oh we are going for that kind of discouraging phrases now? I thought better of you, princess" A mock offense in his face "Girls are always against the patriarchy until insects arrive. If you realized how much of…”

You didn’t want to listen to the rest of his ramble and with the help of an old magazine you caught the small spider in your hand and helped her out of the window.

"Happy now?”

"Very much so” He conceded “But I won’t be touching those hands full of... Wait, do they transmit any germs?”

He was even easier to handle than a spider, a couple of kisses would make the deal to stop him from thinking about the whole issue. After all you were much more an interesting specimen to focus than a bug.

My biggest struggle as an artist is that all-consuming need for perfection, and my inability to stop examining my creations under a microscope. And this, friends, is why we're on version 5 of this stitch. Gone is the water-soluble pen, we've brought in the archival ink and old transfer techniques.

Some more rambling under the cut!

The transfer method is one I've done a fair amount of reading about, but have never tried. I've tried just about every method under the sun - freehand drawing to tracing to water-soluble paper to tissue paper. I loathe freehand drawing, I don't like washing my pieces after I've stitched them (especially now I've started using silk thread), and I find stitches can get loose after washing away paper or pulling out the tissue.

So I decided to try one last method, my hail mary, and tried prick and pounce. Supply kits aren't easy to come by, so I sort of DIYed it. Vellum, charcoal powder and talc, and some felt pads for furniture hammered into a leftover piece of wood made up the supplies, and I got to experimenting.

I'm not a professional, just a hobbyist with too much spare time and little self-regulation. There are things I would do differently next time - I'd probably tackle it in layers, like a lino print, and more aggressively brush the dust off after I finish connecting the dots.

It's time consuming, but I've never had finer details on the fabric. And because I accidentally wrecked my vellum, this is going to be the final version. I can't keep doing this to myself!

The Lonely Morning Routine of a Baby Boy

Slowly waking up with a stretch, extending each arm and leg like a star fish in bed, then gently rubbing each eye as the light coming from the window reacts with each pupil through the barely open eye lids.

Then rolling over to feel a cold side to the big bed where he'd so love to find someone laid waiting for him to finally move.

Realising that his dummy has made its way under the pillow during the night, having fallen asleep sucking so contently on it as usual.

The moment he checks the bed sheets for any wet patches incase of any leaks happening during the night, to find that his nappy has done its job.

He can feel the swollen bulge of the nappy between his legs, clearly meaning that his nightly wetting was as much as ever but the crinkle of his plastic pants provides needed reassurance that anything would be contained.

Laying there just staring at the ceiling with thoughts of what he could do with the day ahead, but hearing the gentle patter of raindrops against the window pain quickly put limitations upon the available choices.

Rolling out of bed and feeling his bare feet touch the carpet, the cool morning air against his skin which is always so very warm quickly fully awakend the boy.

Throwing the duvet back over the bed, and picking up his newly adopted stuffie bear (yet to be named) and placing him right between the pillows to lay down.

Finally moving over to the drawer which is full of his changing supplies, he grabs a fresh nappy, wipes, nappy rash cream and talc, finally followed by a clean folded pair of plastic pants.

Sliding out the changing mat, the baby boy lays down and begins the self task of changing the very soggy nappy but knowing that the comfort feeling of a fresh nappy is but 5 minutes away and the thought of a warm breakfast will quickly follow behind.

His yearning for a caregiver is as strong as ever, his mind full of all the things which could be done together and the many cuddles and bond which would be created between them.

Happy Sunday all.

Prompt #9: Lend an Ear

dt spoilers. this is FULL of guessing at worldbuilding and rephrasing revelations but with more propaganda added. i don't know if this one will actually be IN the compiled fic since i want to make it entirely qahs'a's pov but this definitely happened even if it doesn't show up.

"I suppose this is as good a place as any to start," G'raha musedd. "Excuse me," he said to a hyuran man who had obviously had a few drinks. "Could you tell me about that building?

The young man squinted up at him. "You mus' be new here. Turali?"

"Er, close enough.

"It's very impressive," Alisaie butted in, as the man's eyes narrowed. "All the black is imposing. Most of the electrope in the rest of the city doesn't look like that, has it been turned off for some reason?"

The man blinked at her, then slumped back in his seat. "Th' Arcadion used to be the jewel of Everkeep," he said wistfully. "Half the city would cram into True Vue on match nights, fightin' to get a seat…"

A cough came from the side, and a grizzled older elezen man leaned in. "This one's too young to have seen the Arcadion in use, but he's heard the stories. We keep the memory of the good ol' days alive here, no matter what that king tries."

"I woulda been amazing in there," the younger man grumbled sulkily.

The old man rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry, but you still haven't explained what the Arcadion was for," G'raha interjects.

Both men blinked up at him, then looked at each other.

"The Arcadion was the arena," the younger said.

"Alexandria's always had arenas," the older added.

"Gladitorial?" Alisaie asked.

"I guess?" the younger man said.

The older one harrumphed. "The Arcadion was about showing off the skill of the finest fighters in Alexandria. Not to watch fool idiots kill each other for sport. That's what the regulators were for."

"If the king hadn't banned regulators, then Talc would still be alive," the younger man moaned.

"Your friend crashed his foolish ass on that bike of his, he would've done it with a regulator as well, you just wouldn't remember it."

"What is a regulator?" G'raha finally interrupted.

Both men paused again.

"The king didn't actually ban the Arcadion," the older man said carefully. "He banned the regulators, and no one's idiotic enough to try to revive the Arcadion without the supply of spare souls."

"Spare… souls?" Alisaie asked, eyes wide.

"Hundreds of years ago," the old man started, sounding like he was reciting something he'd heard many times. "Alexandrian engineers were trying to save our queen's life, and ended up inventing the regulator. Using it, they saved her life, and ensured all Alexandrians would live long lives, free of the risk of dying to mishap or monster. We lived long happy lives under Queen Sphene, until those Turali kings came in."

The younger man emptied his drink. "The firs' one was okay," he said, starting to slur a bit. "I heard he was…. 'xperimentin' with regulators. Makin' 'em better."

"Doesn't matter," the old man grumbled. "Our wonderful king came in and ousted him. And then the Queen vanished."

"She might come back, she can't be dead," the younger one mumbled. "Or we wouldn' remember her…"

"I'm sorry?" Alisaie said faintly.

"Ah, well, regulators did two things; they held your soul cells that got used up to revive you if you died, and when you came to the end of your life, they'd take all your memories, and all the memories of you, and upload them to the cloud." The older man looked sad. "My parents have to be up there, but since the regulators are banned now I'll never get to join them, or learn what they were like."

"I… see. Thank you for sharing this," G'raha said, as neutrally as he could."

The old man waved him off, but the younger snorted into his empty cup. "Y' can't be Turali," he managed. "Yer not angry 'bout the souls."

G'raha and Alisaie exchanged a look, and left rather than respond to that particular statement.

this contains a cameo of a real genuine canon person! that would be the younger hyune (not that graha and alisaie know the alexandrian terms hyune and eldite and milalla :V and presumably they have a miqo'te name as well since there seems an awful lot of miqo'te around for them to all be hhetsarro descended). he's the "frantic man" credited as such even in the voice acting credits, who is a bit of a drunkard, frantic about running out of soul cells, claims to be an arcadion fighter, and yells at sphene for not overriding zoraal ja shuttering the arcadion. we'll see if he shows up in future content

What Are the Advantages & Disadvantages of Soapstone Surfaces?

Soapstone, a metamorphic rock mostly made of talc, has been used in both historical and contemporary architecture and design. Its distinctive characteristics and aesthetic appeal make it a popular choice for sinks,  countertops, fireplaces, and flooring.

However, soapstone, like every other substance, has both advantages and problems. Here's a closer look at what makes soapstone such a desired and often difficult material to work with.

Pros of Soapstone

Durability: Soapstone is extremely durable, resisting heat, stains, and acids. This makes it a good choice for kitchen countertops, as it can tolerate hot pots and pans without causing harm. Its non-porous nature prevents it from absorbing liquids, lowering the possibility of stains and bacterial growth.

Aesthetic Appeal: With its soft, matte texture and delicate veining, soapstone has a distinct, rustic appearance. It acquires a patina with time, adding character and depth, and is a popular choice for people looking for a timeless, natural style.

Low Maintenance: Unlike granite and marble, soapstone does not require sealing. It requires little maintenance, just frequent cleaning with light soap and water. For individuals who like a deeper, more uniform appearance, mineral oil can be applied on occasion to enhance the natural color.

Versatility: Soapstone is versatile and can be utilized in a variety of applications, including countertops and sinks, fireplace surrounds, and flooring. Its thermal qualities make it an ideal material for wood stoves and hearths since it can absorb, retain, and radiate heat effectively. 

Environmentally Friendly: Soapstone is a natural stone that is environmentally beneficial. It is frequently supplied from sustainable quarries and undergoes minimum processing, lowering its environmental impact.

Cons of Soapstone

Softness: While soapstone is strong, it is also rather soft when compared to other natural stones such as granite or quartz. Because of its softness, it is easily scratched and dented, especially in high-traffic areas or in houses with children and pets.

Limited Color Options: Soapstone is often gray, blue-gray, or green, and it darkens over time. This limited color palette may not be suitable for all design preferences, particularly those desiring a brighter or more diverse look. 

Cost: High-quality soapstone is frequently comparable to or more expensive than granite or marble. While its longevity and ease of upkeep may outweigh the initial outlay, budget-conscious homeowners may consider the upfront cost.

Professional Installation: Soapstone, due to its density and weight, requires professional installation. DIY enthusiasts may find it difficult to work with, and incorrect installation can result in concerns such as uneven surfaces or fissures.

Periodic Oiling: While not necessary for everyone, some homeowners prefer to oil their soapstone surfaces to keep them looking darker and more homogeneous. This frequent maintenance can be perceived as a disadvantage for people seeking a completely maintenance-free material.

Finally, soapstone's durability, aesthetic appeal, and low maintenance make it a popular option among homeowners. However, its softness, limited color possibilities, expense, and the requirement for professional installation are all important considerations. By weighing these advantages and disadvantages, you can decide whether soapstone is the best material for your next home project.

Natural Steatite Prices Trend | Pricing | Database | News | Index | Chart

Natural Steatite Prices also known as soapstone, is a metamorphic rock primarily composed of talc, which gives it a soft and smooth feel. The prices of natural steatite vary significantly based on several factors such as quality, origin, availability, and market demand. High-quality steatite, which features fewer impurities and exhibits consistent color and texture, commands a premium price in the market. Conversely, steatite with more impurities or less aesthetic appeal tends to be more affordable. The origin of the steatite also plays a crucial role in determining its price. Soapstone from renowned quarries known for producing high-quality material, such as those in Brazil, India, and Finland, often fetches higher prices due to their established reputation for excellence.

The demand for natural steatite has been steadily increasing due to its versatile applications in various industries. In the construction sector, it is prized for its use in countertops, sinks, and tiles, offering both aesthetic beauty and functional benefits such as heat resistance and durability. The art and sculpture community also highly value steatite for its workability, allowing artisans to create intricate designs and sculptures. This broad spectrum of applications contributes to the dynamic pricing landscape of natural steatite. In recent years, there has been a noticeable trend towards using natural and eco-friendly materials in home design and construction, further boosting the demand for soapstone. As consumers become more environmentally conscious, the preference for sustainable materials like steatite continues to grow, subsequently affecting its market price.

 Seasonal fluctuations and geopolitical factors can also impact the price of natural steatite. For instance, mining activities can be affected by weather conditions, regulatory changes, or political instability in regions where steatite is sourced. These factors can lead to supply disruptions, thereby influencing prices. Additionally, transportation costs and tariffs can add to the overall cost of bringing natural steatite to the market, especially for international shipments. Technological advancements in quarrying and processing techniques have also influenced the price of natural steatite. Enhanced methods for extracting and refining the stone have led to better quality products, which in turn can command higher prices. However, these advancements also bring about increased efficiency and reduced waste, potentially lowering costs for consumers over time.

Consumer preferences and trends play a significant role in shaping the price dynamics of natural steatite. For instance, a growing interest in unique and custom-designed home features has led to increased demand for bespoke soapstone products. This customization often comes at a higher cost due to the specialized labor and design involved. On the other hand, the popularity of minimalist and modern design trends, which favor sleek and uniform finishes, can drive up the demand for high-quality, homogeneous steatite slabs. Furthermore, market competition among suppliers and retailers also affects pricing. A highly competitive market can lead to price variations as suppliers strive to attract customers through competitive pricing strategies, discounts, and value-added services such as installation and after-sales support. This competition can benefit consumers by providing more options and potentially better deals.

Economic conditions and purchasing power in different regions also impact the price of natural steatite. In regions with higher disposable incomes and robust housing markets, consumers are more willing to invest in premium materials for their homes, driving up the prices of high-quality steatite. Conversely, in markets with lower purchasing power, there may be a greater demand for more affordable steatite options. The online marketplace has also transformed the buying and selling of natural steatite. E-commerce platforms have made it easier for consumers to access a wider range of products and prices, increasing market transparency and competition. Online reviews and ratings provide additional insights into product quality and customer satisfaction, further influencing purchasing decisions and pricing.

In conclusion, the prices of natural steatite are influenced by a myriad of factors including quality, origin, market demand, geopolitical factors, technological advancements, consumer preferences, market competition, economic conditions, and the rise of e-commerce. The interplay of these elements creates a dynamic and ever-evolving pricing landscape for steatite. As the demand for natural, eco-friendly materials continues to rise, and as technology and market conditions evolve, the prices of natural steatite are likely to continue to fluctuate. Consumers and industry professionals alike must stay informed about these factors to make well-informed purchasing decisions in this competitive market.

A Guide to Cleaning Marble Surfaces

Marble is a popular choice for various surfaces, including kitchen countertops, backsplashes, and floors. While it adds a touch of sophistication to spaces, marble requires special care due to its soft, porous nature. Taking care of marble surfaces helps maintain its long-term pristine quality. Moreover, regular care protects the investment.

The susceptibility of marble to staining and scratching demands preemptive measures. Using harsh cleaners, abrasive scrubbers, or cloths could scratch the surface. Additionally, avoiding products with lemon, vinegar, or acidic content helps preserve the marble's sheen.

To prevent spills from becoming stains, clean them promptly. Then, place coasters under glasses, especially if they contain corrosive chemicals such as alcohol or acidic juices, and use trivets for hot dishes. Slip-resistant mats or area rugs can also minimize tracked-in dirt. When using vacuum cleaner attachments, ensure they are in good condition to prevent scratches.

Before delving into the cleaning process, gather necessary supplies for cleaning marble, such as a rag mop, spray bottle, squeegee, soft cotton cloths, mild liquid dishwashing detergent, isopropyl alcohol, powdered chalk, white molding plaster, or talc. Others can damage the material.

The first step upon discovering a spill is to use a paper towel to blot the area, not wipe it. Wiping can spread the spill, making the stain larger. Instead, thoroughly drying the area ensures the removal of liquid, residue, or dirt without making the stain worse.

For mild stains, opt for a quarter cup of isopropyl alcohol mixed with water in a 32-ounce spray bottle. Adding a few drops of organic liquid dishwashing detergent can address more stubborn stains. Before using detergent, check that it is phosphorous and degreaser-free. Afterward, apply the cleaning agent directly to the stain using soft cotton cloths or clean rag mops. For oil-based stains, a liquid cleanser or a paste of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda is most effective.

Persistent stains require a more potent mix. Create a poultice using powdered chalk, white molding plaster, or talc mixed with a liquid cleaner. After applying the paste over the stained area, it needs to sit for 24 hours to draw out the stain. Then, gently wipe it to lift the stain. After cleaning, dry the surface immediately with a soft, dry cloth to prevent streaks and water spots. A buffing motion while drying enhances the shine and prevents water stains.

Marble showers require additional care. To prevent soap scum buildup, use a squeegee after each shower. For stubborn dirt or soap scum, deep clean with specialized marble cleaners or dry steam.

Use mild dish detergents or pH-neutral stone cleaners for routine maintenance. If individuals find sticky residues, scrape them with a razor instead of coarse steel wool or acidic cleaners that can erode the marble.

Lastly, regularly seal the marble to protect it. Sealers form an extra protective layer that prevents spilled liquids from seeping into the marble. Professionals recommend sealing the surface once a year for high-traffic areas. If individuals find water rings, spots, or stains, they indicate that the surface requires resealing.
