Speaking Of Pretty Flowers, May I Present To You The “Eighteen Scholars”, The Flower Of My Heart-a

I’ve had this post saved up for days, waiting to release it when I ran out of other posts, because this is easily the greatest thing I have ever voiced, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to top it

but people keep sending me stuff, and I keep finding stuff on my own, so here it is! based on this hilarious comic by @liberlibelulaart

please do keep sending me stuff! I’ve really enjoyed doing this the last couple of months, and even though there’s still more to come, it’s mostly down to dumb luck, and the well is going to dry up real soon

Playing with stylization. Also I just really love gnarly old tree trunks.

The needles are mostly done freehand with hardly any guides as my chalk pencil barely works. (has anyone ever come across a good chalk pencil?? maybe i need to look into getting dressmakers chalk. idk)

[photo ID: an embroidery of an old bonsai tree on black fabric in a round hoop. The trunk is swirling yellows, burgundies and oranges. The needles are dark green and arranged in a repeated fan pattern contained inside half-circles.]

If you think about it, all these thinkpieces about how Millenials are “killing” various industries reveal a pretty colossal sense of entitlement.

Under normal circumstances, if a given industry finds itself unable to sell products to a given market demographic, we’d say it’s that industry’s fault for failing to offer products that that demographic is interested in buying.

It only makes sense to blame the target demographic itself is if we’re assuming that the established industries have some intrinsic right to that demographic’s disposable income that’s being denied - which is clearly nonsense.

And I thought Millennials were supposed to be the entitled ones?

i was reading about the myth of prometheus today when the phrase "new liver, same eagles" popped into my mind, so i'm keeping that in mind for the next time someone asks me how it's going
