I narrated a little segment about the intelligence of crows to myself as I used a stick of vanilla beans to reach the cocoa yesterday.

I don't teach art students, I teach one-off classes to teens and adults.

Weirdly enough, in print class we learned there's a limit of 11-14 times pulp can be recyled, but no explanation as to why. I prefer it to be a mystery.

I teach art classes. People seem to get it.

Is this a thing? Do guys just look at it?

What an honor to be honored in a thread about an oscar winning actor.

I'm just a regular person who owns pants and tried cat food at least once like everybody else.

My mom wrote this post. She once tried to cut down on pasta prep time by putting it in the water before she left for an 8 hour shift. She boils hotdogs because "It's faster." Just boils. She burned every pancake she ever made because she thinks max heat cooks it faster and years of failure hasn't changed her opinion. She tried to make chicken parmigiana in the microwave, without the parmesan, and the chicken was frozen. She makes kraft dinner with only margarine and won't eat anything blue.

I, too, look like a haunted victorian orphan when I argue online.

I heard in a pobcast he's vegetarian, too.

edit: A pobcast isn't a thing. But it should be.

Fair.

I found these youtube channels helpful in learning how to sew and making a skirt:

Hand sewing and vintage techniques while talking about the history of fashion: https://youtube.com/@bernadettebanner

Full walkthroughs (excluding the sewing part) on how to measure, cut and put together custom dresses: https://youtube.com/@fancy_stitches

I can barely sew and managed to make a presentable skirt for a costume in under two hours, by hand.

Hooked up with a guy who called his "Justice" and honestly deserved the title.

That's just how colour works.

Sock Drawer Monster (thelemmy.club)

In an effort to use up all the felt I've made from projects that didn't turn out (shit I've made,) I cut out random little guys to stuff with lavender and rose petals. They're ugly and they smell amazing

I call this one Higgins:

I saw this while visiting friends in the city.

'Tis the season for shoots. Remember, there are plenty of bendy, fresh stems out there right now and birch is easy to weave as well. And, as always, forage responsibly.

As with many of these terms that appear on social media or the rest of the Internet, it's not clear who specifically originated the "seagulling" term. But it is clearer why people have been giving this dating practice the bird, so to speak. It's similar to the tendency of seagulls to grab food whether or not they are hungry simply because they don't want others to get the food.

Made from cool rocks (thelemmy.club)
submitted 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) by Wren@lemmy.today to c/cool_rocks@lemmy.today

I didn't know what to do with them all, so I made this with chain, copper tape, solder and a piece of wood.

It's mostly rose quartz with an amethyst, a couple jade and a few I'm not certain of.

I made this crow (thelemmy.club)

I sewed the wings on upside down.

I bought the pattern from https://www.annwoodhandmade.com/ — a site I previously posted here with all her free patterns and project ideas.

Despite Israel and Hamas reaching a ceasefire agreement on October 10, 2025, Israeli attacks have continued to kill hundreds of civilians in Gaza. Now, nearly seven months after the fighting was supposed to have ended, Christians and Muslims alike struggle to observe their holy traditions while in the throes of war and grief. See our report and video from this year’s Ramadan in Gaza City.

We got some smokey quartz, regular quartz, and I think some gneiss.

The regilar quartz was in as part of another batch, but the other rocks stayed ugly so I switched them out.

free patterns – ann wood handmade (www.annwoodhandmade.com)

Lots of sewing and a few other crafts. I've already made one of her paid patterns — had no idea she had free ones, too. UNTIL NOW.

So I'm sharing with all of you.

I just got a whole bunch of old leather belts from a closing thrift store. In searching for what to do with them, I found this.
