Racing Turtles

gay fish quilt!!! made with a single 42-count Kaffe Fassett charm pack and three thrift store bedsheets. the quilt top was zig-zag stitched to the blue sheet, then sandwiched with batting and a black sheet for the backing and the simple rolled hem, which was stitched with one straight stitch and one zig-zag for very stylish corners. the fish are quilted down along the outer seams.

each fish took two patterned squares, one for the body and one for the fins and tail.

it was a fast and fun no-stress quilt that really shows off gorgeous prints to advantage, and i might try this pattern again!

A golden ram and a stone lion, found in a tomb at the archaeological site of Gonur Depe (dated from 2400 to 1600 BCE) in Turkmenistan. The finger in the background shows how small these figures are, demonstrating the extraordinary skill of the crafter.

Counter Strike: Global Offensive

this guys videos are fucking incredible i really want everyone to watch them

this man is like midas but with knives instead of gold, he can make anything a knife, sicssor knives ,ice knives, cardboard knives, tiny knives if it can be made into a knife he will do it, and if he cant, he will do it anyway because fuck you

This doesn’t even have the best one. One time he made a knife out of ravioli then proceeded to use the knife made out of ravioli to cut up cheese and tomatoes and basil and shit then took the ravioli knife that he had used to cut up his other ingredients and cooked said knife with those ingredients and ate the fucking knife!

nah, his best one? he made a knife out of smoke.

You know how to sharpen smoke? this guy does.

Let’s not forget everything else in his videos.
