Okay I JUST Realized I Never Posted These On Here—- BUT BASICALLY, About A Year And A Half Ago I Started

tattoo ideas

a few days later, I've embroidered the majority of the back panel. i still want to add things like shooting stars, more details on the luna moth, more stars behind the ferns, etc, but here's what I've gotten done:

I've also sewn on a moth patch that my best friend gave me a while ago - I've finally found a place for it!

and I've turned one of the front pockets into a cute monster mouth, an idea that i got from a patch somebody showed on Pinterest. instead of just a patch, it's a functional pocket! the teeth didn't quite turn out how I'd hoped, but i can clean them up a bit later

i might add more details to give it more of a body, and not just a mouth with disembodied eyes. if you have any ideas, please comment or leave them in the tags!

the latest things i've added are a panel on the inside of my vest under the collar, and some stars on the ends of the hood strings, both using the same blue flannel i used for the pockets.

i'll continue updating as i work on it!

for about a week now I've been working on a DIY vest. it's not a battle vest, but i am taking inspiration from some of the patch ideas and maybe adding spikes

here's my process so far:

(EDITED with image descriptions - thanks for the reminder in the tags!!)

i dyed a pale blue vest with one full bottle of graphite synthetic dye. it's still sadly a little blue, but it's dark enough that it isn't super noticable, so I'll live. if you have any questions about the exact process, ill answer them in the comments!

i then added two regular pockets after seam ripping the fake ones - why do they even put fake pockets on these - and two inner pockets using the shape of the upper pocket as a guide. one of them is embroidered with quotes from a post by turboennui on here about Laika, the first dog in space sent from Russia

then i added a detachable hood taken from an old sweatshirt, which is attached to the vest via six buttons. i get anxious when i don't have a hood on my clothes, so if i don't wear this vest over a sweatshirt, i still have the option to have more comfort

yesterday, i planned out and began embroidering the back panel. it will be a detachable piece of black fabric from an old button up shirt, connected only with safety pins so i don't have to commit to a theme and instead have multiple artworks to swap out. this one is a few black ferns and a pale blue moth (type undecided) atop a starry night sky background

if you guys have any ideas of stuff to add or embroider, or tips for making a denim vest in general, comments are greatly appreciated! ill post another update once the vest is finished

and so it begins

another jacket, this time with sleeves! spent the whole weekend trying to dye it (didn't work the first time, stuck my hand in dye water without thinking, dinged up my dryer, splotchy results, etc etc) but at last, it holds.

I've started transferring a couple black and white patches from my vest to this jacket, and I'm going to try to stick with those two colors and red. someday I'll come back to my vest and replace the blue flannel with green, and lean into that color to have some contrast between the two. but for now I'm focusing on this jacket, and I'm super excited

clevervoidduck / Rosepa Mwikwabe / Virginia Adungo is a scammer

https://www.tumblr.com/slenbee/764699910832635904/current-scammers-101824-part-2

the second picture they use is the profile picture of this diabetes facebook scam page https://www.facebook.com/myblis/

in this previous reblog of their post you can see they used to link to a paypal account under the name Virginia Adungo: https://www.tumblr.com/doodledumpling/766815731699580928

but now they link to a paypal account that says Rosepa Mwikwabe. this paypal account has been edited from it’s original name, Joseph Mwikwabe, and you can see the change between October 14th and November 1st here: https://archive.ph/https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=L9HUZC7VT3MM6

this same Rosepa Mwikwabe account is also being used by other tumblr scammers, for example toovoidlady and a-mother-of-gaza, to run completely different scams

would you mind deleting their scam from your blog, or clearly labeling it as a scam so it doesn't spread to others? in the future, please remember you can use the tumblr search box to search the username/paypal account name/text used by people asking for money to check if they’ve been proven to be a scammer

OH thank you for the info, anon! im relatively new to Tumblr and how everything works / how to tell if something is a scam on here specifically. I'll definitely take it down, thanks again for letting me know! I'll be sure to do more research before reblogging something like that

THIS IS SO SICK!! it turned out so awesome! I'm so flattered that you were inspired by my stuff, dude

Doctor Who is like. The Show ever, i definitely need to make a patch for it now

also i keep seeing black and red patches and i think I'm gonna give my newest denim jacket that color scheme

I got INSANELY inspired by @dannychai1617 's blue jay patch they made for their patch jacket and so tried my hand at making a raven for my own after my rewatch of Doctor Who Season 9 (iykyk). I made this with recycled fabric and thrifted embroidery floss and it was a lot of fun!

hey! i recently had top surgery (woohoo!), and i thought I'd write down what the whole process was like for me, from start to finish (aka 6 weeks later). i hope this helps anybody looking into top surgery or just looking for someone else's experience!

quick info:

i got ftm top surgery as a transmasc person on October 23rd, 2024. i got the double incision type, without nipple grafts, plus liposuction. my surgeon was Dr. Rukmini Rednam in Houston, Texas, USA.

Sans and... Sans. Fell Sans (the red one) is not my AU, and his design in this drawing is based on a combination of other people's versions of him

there's no context for this drawing, just Fell somehow ending up in Classic Sans' universe
