This. Is my pride and joy. A gift for my dad, who played Zork with me when I was a kid, and with his dad when he was a kid. I designed this pattern myself and had a great time puzzling out how to hide the glow in the dark letters!

Pattern: “West of House” by me
Fabric: 2x1 on 18ct Blue-Grey Aida
Started: 11/27/2021
Finished: 12/25/2021

Hey, I found a beanie boo that I liked the design of but I can't stand those giant uguu eyes. Do you think it would be possible to replace them with smaller safety eyes akin to the old beanie babies? If yes, do you have any advice?

I was gonna answer this in a normal way, but then I got curious about trying it for myself and thought I might as well demonstrate!

So, I went and picked up a guy from the supermarket. The selection there was pretty barren today but I found a decent test subject:

I was working with an item today that just utterly flabbergasted a part of me (the other was deeply frustrated with the catalogue record AS SOMEONE APPARENTLY THOUGHT IT WAS PRINTED ON SILK, coming back to that in a minute) … but ANYWAYS … said item is a replica of a medieval manuscript prayer book THAT IS ENTIRELY WOVEN out of grey and black silk … WOVEN … text, images, intricate grey scale, WOVEN … NOT PRINTED …

And it’s flabbergasting because it’s from 1888, Jacquard machine, IT USED PUNCH CARDS to weave these intricate pages … something like 400 weft per near square inch … IT looks like a page of textured paper, but it’s not, it’s entirely SILK … F*CK …

Anyways …

OKS I’ve since calmed down and found out that the reason they used “printed” is because it is essentially printed by a computer … in a weird way; when I import the record, I’m just gonna take that note out …

BUT this is the item btw

WOVEN! WOVEN ON A LOOM using f*ckin’ punch cards!

all your stuffed animals love you. they're not sad if they're in a box, or on the floor, or not held/played with as much. they understand. they know that you might need another stuffie more, or that you don't have enough space. they're just happy to be with you, and if you ever give them away, they'll be happy there too. stuffies are for comfort. they understand. they love you too. it's okay.

the physical recreation of a comics representation meets the original :0

That’s so cool!!

ID 1: a two panel comic. a purple crow holding something in its wings out of frame says, "I can't believe we'll have been together for 21 years next month" (21 years is underlined). The second panel has, "here's to the next 21" in a floating speech bubble, and shows a pink-purple, round-bodied plush bug with buttons for eyes, thick antennae, visible stitches, worn down spots, and sewn on patches. The well-loved plush bug is surrounded by hearts and resting in the bird's "hands." beneath the second panel the comic is signed "incendavery."

ID 2: 3 photos of a stuffed animal bug resembling the one from the comic, though more purple and visibly new. The photos show it from the front, side, and top. It is bigger than the person holding it's hand in both length and width.

ID 3: first photo is a front view of the bug plushie resting on a floral blanket with OP's hand gently holding its bug face. the second photo is of the bug plush sitting next to a well-loved plush of Marie the kitten from The Aristocats on the same blanket.

End ID
