Real world inspiration. Sundance catolog.

Materials

8 gm TOHO Beads Round 11/0 Matte Opaque Pepper Red

8 gm TOHO beads Round 11/0 semi Glazed Dark Red*

10 lb smoke colored fireline

2 gold finding rings**

1 gold bar from a funding clasp that will fit in the finding rings

Tulip or other brand size 11 beading needle

*I have lost the lable so this is my best guess

**I have also lost the recipe and never really new the size to begin with but please refer to the picture below.

Pictures of material for reference.

Instructions (sort of)

This necklass is made of two ply herringbone stitch. If you do not know how to do herringbone stich for beading. Then GTS because apparently I can't post outside links to tumblr. But it is very easy and thier are some very good tutorials out there

When you need to attach the rings add 7 more rows of beads. Then bend the work around finding ring and use herringbone stich to sew the work back onto itself in a loop.

For sizing

Figure out your desired length and double that for the total length.

Add the first ring then add the second ring a quarter of the length. Bead till the finished length then add the bar.

Here is a picture of the proportion of mine

If you have any questions please let me know I'm happy to clarify. I've never tied to make instructions before.

Swordswoman Showdown Round 1 Part 1

Camilla Hect (The Locked Tomb) vs Peko Pekoyama (Super Dangan Ronpa 2)

(Better here in a "preferred character" sense, not "who would win in a fight")

Camilla art by @friendamedes, used with permisson

Propaganda below cut

Cam

trained w a rapier & knives. practical. handsome. extremely efficient and capable.; she’s my boyfriend and I love her. Please vote for cam she is my life

Gideon Nav uses one very large sword in defiance of the expectation that a cavalier should use a rapier, but Camilla Hect instead uses two. Just as much defiance of social expectation, twice as many blades. The reveal of her specific brand of swordiness is the heart of one of the book's most iconic lines: "Cam? Go loud."; In the spirit of the laconic charm of the Warden's Hand I will simply say "Camilla's competent."

She prefers two short swords but has been know to wield a rapier and other such bladder instruments; She also loves to organize spreadsheets

Go loud.

Peko

she is the ultimate swordsman. her only purpose is to cut people with sword (for her yakuza master); PEKO

I mean. Her title in-game is literally "Ultimate Swordswoman" so she's quite literally the best at swordfighting in-universe! She wields a bamboo sword most of the time but has also fought with a more "regular" sword several times.; Umm idk she's just really cool <3 I'm not great at writing propaganda lmao

She is literally called the Ultimate Swordswoman in game.

Her title is 'Ultimate Swordswoman'; Please consider: I love her

She's literally called the Ultimate Swordswoman; Member of the yakuza (Japanese mafia), wears glasses without being the token "smart/nerdy one" stereotype, likes animals

Sadly you don't see her fighting a lot, but she has the title of Ultimate Swordswoman. She also destroyed several robot bears during her execution (although she seemed to be controlled during it) and only died because she accidently hurt her crush. She also battled the Ultimate soldier and while she ultimately lost, it wasn't an easy fight. Also bodyguard for the yakuza; First seems like the stereotypical "stoic" girl, but talking to here reveals she loves Flugfeld animals and dislikes scaring them. Also sweet and very loyal. She doesn't even see herself as a person, but only a tool. Wants to relearn how to smile. Has a crush on the person she is supposed to protect, the Ultimate Yakuza, but sadly in the main story that doesn't have good ending

Has the in-universe title of Ultimate Swordswoman due to her skills. Was taken in by a yazuka family as a young child and trained with swords in order to be a bodyguard for the group’s heir, which she does extremely well.

Literally the MOST TALENTED SWORDWOMAN IN THE WORLD of her age., She is so so fucked up and traumatized <3 she sees herself as just being a tool for the yakuza heir she's a bodyguard for. Also she became a terrorist and then had her memories wiped and was still pretty morally grey after that. Then she died because she killed someone and got caught. Queen shit

My ADHD is so bad today that i cant consintrate on my main project.

So I'm trying to make a tennis bracelet.

Which is odd because I hate both tennis and bracelets

the prince of egypt + the onion

First I love being on my ADHD meds

Second, fuck the FDA and the state I live in fir making all ADHD drugs so hard to get. I do relize that they can be abused by nuritypicals ....but there has got to be a better solution then this.

Anyways on to better news.

My medicated ass.had an idea this moring....for the 7th,

I was always going to do a big drape lacy flowery daisy chain neckas for the 7th, but I just realized that instead of a simple.drape pattern I could use chain to make lungs

Here is my breif concept drawing....

The large rings in the drawing are the large hammered silver(plated) rings. The black lines forming the lungs will be out of the silver and green modified daisy chain.

The dotted lines will be out of fine silver chain. I'll have to purchase that

Here is the rough draft for the back and sides all out of silver chain. I don't think I will be able to get the efect of inflated lungs unless I create a secondary anchor chain around the back like a harness.

So now I need to plot out the mesuments for the lungs.....

These lovely pictures give me an approximate location and a size ratio I can measure on myself.

I may have to lie down on the floor and have my sister use a heavy cord to map put the shape....or better yet I could do that on her.

The other option is to use all those years of math to map out the archs I want on the images I found, to get actual measurements

Jeasus christ.....I just realized I'm trying to reinvent hanahaki

Oh well....I like it, it's going g to be so much work.

And not at all I my colors....

I'm so excited

I've never been terribly active here but I've returned to share my favourite patterns that make me slightly uncomfy and/or ready to star in an absolutely CRACKING sci-fi miniseries, please enjoy.

DEGEN ADULT EYES SWEATER by Lindsay Degen

Who WOULDN'T want this Biblically accurate sweater? The perfect attire for every horrifying occasion.

#22 Raglan Sleeve Pullover by Laura Zukaite

The rather staid naming of this sweater belies its Mad Max energy. After the apocalypse comes for us I hope we can at least dress like this.

Open Waters Shawl by Melanie Berg

A good shawl to wear to a duel to the death with your mortal enemy, if your mortal enemy has trypophobia.

Romanesco Jumper by Ranti Ehinmola

Honestly, the number of variations shown in the project photos for this pattern is amazing. Not only can you fulfill your dreams of looking like a 5th Element villain, you can do it your way.

DEGEN HOLE SWEATER by Lindsay Degen

This is a practical pattern for people like me who are in denial about living in a desert and stubbornly insist on wearing knitwear despite ample evidence this is a bad idea.

Wilderness by Martin Storey

I absolutely adore the 1950s farmhouse vibe of this photo and the beauty and poise of the model juxtaposed with the fact that she looks like a human bittermelon and she is fucking KILLING it

# 17 Patterned Sweater with V-Yoke by Sabrina/Sandra team designers

An unassuming mass-produced pattern from the 90s that, just coincidentally, looks like something you'd wear to head an intergalactic delegation.

Blume by Norah Gaughan

Speaking of space sweaters, here's another that wouldn't look out of place on the bridge of a starship.

Mullion by Martin Storey

This one, on the other hand, looks more like attire for a... space council?

Space Odyssey by Anna Strandberg

This pattern is literally called "Space Odyssey". The author definitely knows.

Dark Moss Pullover by Teti Lutsak

Bringing things back to Earth, the way these broad cables fade into the fabric reminds me of my desire to be buried in one of those mushroom suits after I die. Your interpretation may vary.

Waterbender by Yiğitcan / Pufido

The ultimate in dramatic sleeves.

Day Dreams by Stacy Collingham

Finally... I think the Power Rangers fought this sweater.

The teeny tiny roman numeral charms have arived!

And it's perfect! I'm about to mess up a perfectly good necklace by adding these little fandom flourishes.

I'm so excited

Edit: I just dropped it on the floor. I should have done this on the floor . But to be fair this is not the first time the second has had some trouble on a table

My wife ordered these for my birthday and they finally came in this last week and they are so beautiful I don't even want to let them out of the bubble wrap
