I've finally finished my Dread Wolf tarot embroidery from Dragon Age Inquisition! Clocking in at 64 hours of work, it measures 11.5 X 19.5 cm and I've been chipping away it during my downtime at work. My fellow community council members on Dragon Age: The Veilguard may have been biased while helping me choose which character's card to do, but I'm so grateful they did because it was so much fun to work on, and so different from the previous ones.

This is my fourth large Dragon Age character card project, and the first one I started since I uprooted everything to train as a costumer. Having a portable yet elaborate project was comforting while travelling for new experiences.

Now, who's excited for the new game later this year?!

Women scientists made up 25% of the Pluto fly-by New Horizon team. Make sure you share this, because erasing women’s achievements in science and history is a tradition. Happens every day.

70 seconds over 9 years and 3 billion miles…

…I just… Damn 

Launch to Pluto flyby for New Horizons took 3,580 days, and she was off by 70 seconds. That’s like… That’s an error of 0.000000226%.

That’s fucking insane.

That’s not even a rounding error!

Thank you for putting words & numbers to my awe of her precision.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

3 BILLION MILES

I wanna be THAT good at math 🤩

honestly i’d guess that to be a floating point precision error

what the hell china’s first fanfest looks crazy cool

So I think I forgot to post about it here but I'm knitting my own wedding dress.

Edit to add materials: I'm using suri silk alpaca (apparently I'm slightly allergic to mohair?), and glass beads for the silvery and pearl beads.

Well, this crossed a lot more people's dashboards than I anticipated... my notes have been nutty for about a month and I haven't known how to respond. One thing I have wanted to say is that while this is a big project, it isn't as insanely hard as it looks. It's just the sheer amount of stitches and beads and time to do it. Time is gonna pass anyway, so if you give yourself enough time you should be alright. I started this in October last year but I haven't been working on it constantly, there have been months where I haven't touched it at all and I've even doubted that I'll like the garment at the end of it. The beading rows have been hell.

The inspiration for this project started with this image that I originally saw on Pinterest and a long trip into a deep research rabbit hole:

Another two images that were picotal in working out what I wanted to do were these: This dress from Alexander McQueen's Ready to Wear FW 2008 collection (which btw, this appears to just be an adapted shawl pattern which exactly what I did):

And, this piece by Veronica Filina:

Anyways. Thank you for the attention, it's helped keep me motivated to finish! In appreciation of that, here are some of the hashtags I've giggled at:

And the one that made me think "yes, you get it!":

UPDATE: I've cast off! I haven't been able to block it yet, but that will happen in the next month as it gets warmer here. I still have the underdress and possibly a jumper to finish making for it as I'm not sure if I'll be wearing this little bolero with or not. Anyways, here are some photos:

Some of my fave guys in level 100 crafter gear - but opted out of the giant mittens for Estinien. Should I complete this set with level 100 gatherer gear? MAYBEEeeE. See below the cut on who is wearing which gear.

My tribute comic to the Ancients.

It didn't really come out as I would have liked but I'm glad I finished it.

The text is from the song "What Angel Wakes Me" from the Titania fight in ffxiv, written by Masayoshi Soken. Making this comic was only possible through the support of my patrons.

My FFXIV Zero cosplay

*6.4 Endwalker Spoilers *

"But no more. I refuse to be bound ever again.

I fight only for myself, and for those in whom I trust, my friends".

I'm quite satisfied with the new adjustments I made to my Zero cosplay, one being that I remade the hat and used velvet fabric.

Oh yeah and happy patch day, hope ya'll enjoy it. I'll catch up when I can :]

A skilled artisan is a joy to witness
