i make woven pride bracelets! the first image, in order, includes achillian, pan, bi, polysexual, sapphic, and genderqueer. the second image is basic rainbow pride bracelet and the last image is a trixic bracelet!
i make these using embroidery thread and each one can take about 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the size and amount of threads used. (i also sell these and bracelets in other labels/flags in my store on kofi!)
sorry the pictures arent the greatest, i dont have a very good camera ^^;
A ring made of hair, according to legend, owned by Natalia Goncharova and presented by her to her fiancé - A.S. Pushkin. Russia, the first third of the XIX century. On the ring there is an insert (or lock) made of gold (0.7×1.1 cm) with an engraved monogram "NG". It is preserved in a ladies' velvet handbag stuffed with satin embroidered with metal beads; there is also a piece of sermot and a cut of posum, attached is a portrait of N.N. Goncharova (engraving of the XIX century). Everything is enclosed in a Karelian birch box.
A ring, according to legend, belonged to Natalia Nikolaevna Goncharova (future Pushkina), woven by her own hair for a gift to her fiancé, a great Russian poet. Monogram "N. G." ("Natalia Goncharova") corresponds to her maiden name, which she was called before the wedding. Probably, the ring was handed over in the spring of 1830 in Moscow, m.b. after April 6, when Pushkin received consent to the marriage.
In Pushkin's time, hair jewelry was in great fashion: this weather came from France and quickly spread. The most frequent was the gift of such a ring by a girl to her betrothed, which was reflected in French novels of the Romantic era. Such rings could also be of a memorial nature. K.N.'s request is known. Batyushkova, addressed to a friend: "Do you want me to make a very nice gift? Order me a ring of your hair, all three, with the hair of your late sister, you will lend me very much with it." Fragile, subject to decay, often stored secretly (since the material of manufacture added special intimacy to the gift), they have hardly survived to the present day, except for some exhibits, whose memorial value served as a certificate of protection for them.
argyle has a sister a year younger than him and once he found out she was going on a date to the movies with Some Guy he recruited jonathan to come spy on them. they bought tickets for the seats RIGHT NEXT TO THEM and stared at the kid the entire time. not once did they blink…
oghhh god I don't know. realistically I'd be a scared little bitch for that. but what I'd want to do is a different question. probably some relatively harmless vandalism or destruction of property to be real. the impulse is always there
27. what's your favorite or go-to outfit?
oooh ok so technically my go-to is fairly ratty shorts and t-shirts cause I never leave the house so the fun answer is these gray pants I have with my purple fall out boy shirt and then layers of jewelry
14. Does your OC/WoL have an item that they keep with them? If they do, what is it? Why do they love it? Why do they keep it with them?
Hmmm technically he has two: his whm staff and a braclet.
Staff is pretty self explanatory - it's his main weapon, so it usually comes with him everywhere. I tend to change his ingame staff around a lot to fit glams, but his "canon" one for now is Blade's Mercy (last step of the lvl80 relic). There's no story yet where or how he got it, but he does take very good care of it, having a skilled crafter check it after every bigger fight for possible damage. It also currently has both Zenos' necklace and Azem's stone hanging on it as mementos.
His bracelet on the other hand is basically wedding ring. While I strongly headcanon that keepers don't really care about marriage or see too much need for it, I feel like Hawu'li is pretty sentimental. He'd want something to remind him of his partners during long travels.
It's pretty basic braded bracelet, but with every strand picked by his partners. They can technically choose anything but to make it easier for me (and my memory) most are in the color schemes of their givers (like "Aymeric" one being blue with gold strands mixed in). Hawu'li asking someone to pick a strand is basically same as him proposing, and his partners usually know to take their time deciding since it's really important to him. After picking the new strand Hawu'li usually gives some little gift for the other party (for example, Aymeric got an earring and G'raha got a necklace) as their "ring".
I kinda wanna try drawing that bracelet some day but before that I have to actually choose who is on it and who's not haha ( ̄▽ ̄)" For extra emotional damage I'll mention that Haurcefant never got to pick his... He'd been one of the first ones, but Hawu'li never really realized his feelings before it was too late. Miiiiight give him one (that Hawu'li picked himself) but not sure on that yet. In AUs he has one tho!

Related to the last thing I reblogged (kinda) but I wrote out all my friends Christmas cards like ‘my darling [name], merrry Christmas blah blah blah, sending all my love, Eddie xxx’ and forgot this is not ‘normal’ (especially for a guy writing to girl platonic friends) until I heard from someone that her mum had seen it and sat her down to ask seriously if we were in a relationship
