these card pouches and zipper pulls are made out of salmon leather! the skins were acquired from a sushi shop and i tanned them in a super-concentrated tea tanning solution.
the card pouches are sewn with hemp thread as a nod to hemp fishing nets.
Ok solarpunks, help me out here. These are my favourite trousers, I’ve probably had them five, six years, maybe longer? They’re fraying on the thighs, as you can see. How do I, a person with a fine motor skills disability and zero handicrafts experience, go about mending this?
In Calabria weaving has its roots in Magna Graecia, the civilisation built by ancient Greeks on Italy's southern coast. Still, until fifty years ago many Calabrian families owned a hand loom at home and self-produced most of their fabrics.
I couldn’t resist making this adorable pattern! The photos don’t really show it, but it’s got kind of a wood-grain pattern on the torso, which I think is pretty cool. Size 3 yarn, size C/2.75 mm hook. Roughly 4-5 inches tall.
now… the thing is that this isn’t just any Korok, though. This is a backpack Korok. So in true TotK fashion… we’ve been putting him in Situations.
Thank you for the excellent pattern, @i-crochet-things!
All That Glitters anthology (quarto), fics by writingramblr and tiny_trashcan, Mar 2023.
I keep forgetting to post these photos! Quarto version of a previous binding, because I think my typesetting is pretty and because I needed practice making cover hinges and endbands. I had just barely enough green fabric left for these covers! I make my own bookcloth, mostly with scraps from a fabric resale place, which means I get more options but limited supply compared to chain craft stores.
Details of the typesetting can be seen here. Fic anthology is on ao3 here, and this is one of those fics where I remind people to read the tags bc it's kind of a controversial rarepair (rare-trio?). Anyway be nice to my friends or don't read it.
Materials: Cotton fabric backed with handmade paper, Italian bookcloth, metallic scrapbooking paper, PVA glue, bookboard, archival paper pages with laser printed text, cotton thread, beeswax, cotton cheesecloth mull, machine-cut metallic heat-transfer vinyl, gold nail polish, embroidery thread.
