I am the Oxford Comma hater. I will never put a comma before and.

Gruesome Gavin save us

Hey @Parzivus@hexbear.net, responding to your message from the last thread:

I dont use a “real” loom for my work. I just cobbled together one from a couple of folding tables I strapped upsidedown to chairs then attached some cardboard rolls to hold up the warp.

Its not to big, certainly not the size of a giant loom youd see someone making rugs on. I can move the chairs away from each other to facilitate larger works

First part of my current weave is done! I made two little strips and turned them into trim for my tunic’s sleeves. Took about half the length I loaded onto the loom so hopefully I have enough left for a full belt, maybe Ill just do a headband or something. Anyway they look fantastic:

Here are the strips before they were sewn on. Theyre both thirteen repeats of the pattern long, though one ended up a few millimeters shorter.

Here they are on my white under-tunic

Heres what it looks like with the black tunic on top. I really like this look, they work perfectly with the two combined.

Closer look

And heres the back. They were just long enough for the frayed edges to meet when finished so I just sewed up over them to hold them down and theyre perfect.

"This weft is woven

With entrails of men

The warp is weighted

With heads of the slain

Spears blood-stained

For spindles we use

Our loom ironbound

And arrows our reels

With swords for our shuttles

This war-weft we work

So weave weird sisters

Our warwinning weft"

New project!

Maybe the gamers are right about this one…

"For the Aesir’s bridge burns with flames,

The sacred waters boil."

The god of wokeness says happy pride

Thanks!

Normally theyre screaming their heads off in the mornings

Went out to see the ravens that have been hanging around my apartments and I couldnt find them, but then I got back from my walk and theyre just sitting on top of my apartment block’s roof being perfectly silent lmao. Crazy

Happy pride month! Throwback to my Bifrost project, which is still probably the best one I’ve made.

Mad Max heads rise up

The two actually compliment eachother really well. I rewatched Fury Road after seeing Furiosa the context of her life beforehand actually made her character much more interesting.

Definitely see it in theaters if you get the chance, its really good. Its not better than Fury Road imo, but since FR is literally the best action film ever made thats not a mark against it.

Even worse

Theyre pretty cool but tbh Ive never been a huge fan of flintlocks.

I am a huge sucker for break actions and that rotary break is insane lmao. Still doesnt beat lever actions but its damn close.

Hot take: Furiosa was better than Dune 2
