Woman's armor workshop

late night thoughts 

For the this year's celebration of the Glorious 25th of May let me present to you my latest project.

Lady's Sybil Ramkin leather corset for a stage adaptation of sir Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards! From sketch to final costume with lovely Errol the Dragon.

Corset made from genuine textured sheepskin and a lots of brass details like buckles, eyelets and studs. Straps has functional buckles and can be adjusted if necessary. Corset has cotton lining with lilac blossom print (I'm not sorry, I can't help myself, I wouldn't miss this chance for a little Easter hard-boiled egg). All creative processes was under strict supervision of my copilot Jarvis, as usual.

Details of my Galadriel travel cosplay! This costume has so many subtle little things, from the quilting to the beading, and it's always cool to highlight those for folks who haven't seen it up close!

working on a personal project now - and i know that algorithms love recognisable things, fan art, fast content

this, though? just some patterns i came up with back in my old house in the woods; if all works right, they become something tangible

at this point i am also painfully aware of how easy it is to plagiarise things, both by ai means and by simple human ctrl+c, ctrl+v, once the person copying doesn't have their own thoughts or ideas - but i'm uploading these online anyway

for i own myself, i own my mind, and i know i can create more

and there's a pattern there's a pattern there's a pattern here to follow a pattern there's a

so, yeah

I AM WEEPING AND CACKLING AND OH DEAR

It also has a lot of different kinds of stitches you can do that make different densities of fabric.

I was surprised that I’d never heard of it though. It’s older than knitting and crocheting and even though it’s been done all over the world it’s super relevant to Nordic culture and my grandmother and I are both into keeping in touch with our roots a bit so I’m surprised I’ve never heard of it.

It’s also a lot easier to freehand and adjust as you go than crochet or knitting and you mostly go by inches instead of rows and number of stitches so a large number of accessories like stitch markers or whatever isn’t really necessary.

The downside as a beginner is that undoing mistakes is more time consuming than with knitting or crochet. You’ve gotta like sew your mistakes out backwards. Disadvantages of making a really sturdy fabric I guess.

I like the feel of this bone needle though and don’t think I’ll be trying the wooden or metal ones.

Also I think I’m gonna have to get good at doing Russian joining if I decide to get good at nalbinding because I don’t have wool yarn and the ends won’t felt together if it’s not at least 50% wool. A small price to pay for using big bone needle though.
