My Favorite Piece Of Avatar Lore I’ve Ever Learned Is That Piandao Apparently Also Deserted The Fire

Sneak peeks at the finished Dernhelm shirt!

It’s now packed up in my case and ready for proper picture in a castle ruin or some other grandiose background!

This shirt caused me to swear in frustration so many times, and the sleeves are wonky as hell on the inside, and there are a lot of things I’d do differently now but hey, it’s Good Enough! And I love how I look in it, which wins over all the imperfections. And I am So In Love with the buttons you don’t even know!!!

The only thing I’ll probably do because it’s for the durability of the shirt rather than the aesthetics is going over all the buttonholes by hand to cover the fraying. My machine can make buttonholes but the result is all but neat and sturdy, so this is something for future Camille to work on.

Always be a good friend

HECK YEAH!

Photographer Gunarto Song captured a remarkable photo of a meteor falling “into” a volcano ( Mount Merapi, the most active volcano in Indonesia), and the resulting shot looks like there’s a green beam of light shooting up from the crater. (SOURCE)

Just a little poll to share some of my embroidery ideas and maybe inspire fellow embroidery enthusiasts. Feel free to make one yourself, and tag me if you post the result on tumblr so I can see it.

The difficulty level is largely based on the size of the embroidery. The larger it is, the easier to stitch. I do love a very small and detailed piece (see my Golden Flower Locket) but it isn’t very beginner friendly.

Anyways, all of these are on my to-do list but I already have at least four other projects to start and complete before Christmas so they’re not very high on my priority list. I already embroidered the horse-head banner of Rohan on a shirt I am making so it’s one ticked off on this list but I put it anyways for inspiration. The Doors of Durin (see profile pic) is the first "big" embroidery project I ever made and it was very fiddly with the details because of the small scale of the design.

Somehow there are still way too many people who think a tailor is someone who makes clothes for men (or worse, just a male clothing-maker). Tailoring is a specific trade with a specific set of techniques—historically, the difference has less to do with gender than it does to do with flat-drafting vs. draping methods of pattern-making and fitting. Tailor is not the male version of seamstress, it is gender-neutral and it refers to its own history (and seamstressing/mantua making is ALSO a trade with its own techniques and history fwiw)

holy shit its franky friday
