Good lort. Do you want to learn how to control your stich length? Take up shashiko. It's just a running stitch, but you have to make sure that thry are all the same length and that the curve is equally divided.
My stitches are still too short.
This is what I keep running into in research into bronze age Aegean cultures (specifically the textiles of those cultures.) And yes, Evans was a trasarcheologists, but some of the literature out of Greece is WILD.
academic bias is so funny because you’ll be reading about the same historical event and one person is like “Despite the troubles that befell his homeland and near constant criticism of the court King Blorbo remained strong in the face of adversity” and the other one is like “after letting his people carry the brunt of his cringefail decisions Blorbo the Shitface refused to listen to any reason and continued to be a warmongering piece of shit. Also he was ugly.”
Make your shortfalls a feature. Make art that only you can make. Make art that you cannot replicate.
Make sure you don't unravel without a plan. But don't let lack or adversity stop your art.
i love fiber arts/textiles people.

One of my friends did a bunch of research about these and then recreated a bunch of them.
Late Bronze Age baby bottles from Austria, dated to around 1200-800 BC. Similar pint-sized vessels were found across the European continent, with some of them still having ruminant milk residue inside suggesting that it could have been used as a supplementary food during weaning

It's just ridiculous, and pretty, and it makes me giggle!
Y'all... I'm pretty sure this is a circle and a quarter skirt, and I'm also equally sure that this hem is more than 9 yards....
Funguary day 16: Enoki
Had the pleasure of eating this mushroom recently at a Japanese barbecue place – it is absolutely delicious! I think this is my favorite edible mushroom I’ve had. I was inspired by the restaurant, so I gave her chopsticks and added some steam coming off her.
Just a homely little mushroom living their best life.
It would be nice.
