you've opened that can of worms now lay in it

Drew this as a token of our Awesomeness to a chum of mine in discord (These are out pfps), and you know what that madlad does?

She actually drew us. The Ultimate Combo. Please take a moment to rub yer eyes on this. I jokingly handed out a geometry homework and they handed me back an entire architecture blueprint. Kura, we love you. Amen to Kura.

In the clurb we all fam.

"I miss Odysseus; my heart is melting. / The suitors want to push me into marriage, but I spin schemes... By day I wove the web, / and in the night by torchlight, I unwove it."

I made this feverish, unwinding loom for @youremysunshine8 's bday, since she is reading Emily Wilson's translation of The Odyssey.

It's made from an old painting frame with the canvas removed. I painted the wood a darker color and hammered in a couple hundred tacks, which I strung with white yarn.

The weaving itself took a long time, since I've never done that before and wasn't using a real loom, though I did make a make-shift heddle from a ruler. The meander is woven in soumak, which means you wrap the weft around each warp instead of just going over-under; this takes a long time but gives it a really cool dimension.
