Stunning DIY French Dot Constellation Runner

Embroidery craft genius Jessica Marquez’s work has graced the glossy pages of InStyle Magazine, Bust Magazine, Daily Candy NY  and countless blogs, which praise her highly creative embroidery designs. A self-taught passionate “emborideress” she is often fascinated by the cosmos, stitches, stars and french knot. Inspired by Spring, she created this table runner, in which stargazers will find Ursa Major and Minor, Cygnus, Draco, Virgo, Orion, Gemini  and others.

Find out below how to make the perfect french knot and composed a wonderful lovely 3D embroidery, astronomical illustration.  Marquez reminds us: “This project might be large in scale, but the steps are super easy. You can also break up the pattern to make smaller pieces or work on a pre-made runner to keep things simple.”

Find out what materials you need below along with the crafty steps.

fandom shit WAS THERE since 1977 and onwards. Just because the technology was different doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.

There were fan clubs like The Royal Order of the Rebel Forces, started in 1977 by “Paula Truelove”. There was an official newsletter Bantha Tracks that published fan art and meta.

There was a HATE WAR of Han fans vs Luke fans called “Church of Ford and Cathedral of Luke” I kid you not. It grew tenser with each film’s release.

There was adult het and slash (Han/Luke) themed fan fiction since the early 1980s, much of which (especially the latter), had to be circulated privately bc of the uproar it caused with some of the fandom and Lucasfilm.

“Before the internet, fans kept in contact via regular mail and letterzines, which were small, cheaply produced zines that printed letters from the subscribers, often including new zine announcements, meta discussions and essays, and flame wars as well as friendly chat and news about the movies and the fan community. Some fan club groups also produced their own letterzines, some including members’ fan fiction and fan art.” Check the vintage zines out, they’re still selling on ebay

Director Guillermo del Toro also announced he is developing an animated series set in the Pacific Rim world. “The characters I love will return … but we are taking them into a fresh territory.”

Also, according to The Santa Clause 2, Santa has to be married in order to remain Santa, which means that the previous Santa must have been married - but there’s no Mrs. Clause around when Scott gets to the North Pole.  What happened to her?

And finally, I think this raises some pretty serious questions about Bernard’s sudden disappearance in between The Santa Clause 2 and 3.  Just how badly did Curtis want to be Head Elf?
