Fourth of November

Situation: I showed these things to my grandmother and she liked them so much that in the end she told me to give a couple to my little cousin. I gave a hot pink with soft pink and a bright green with soft green. I also gave it to my grandmother herself in red and dark green. I had to do these three bracelets again to have these combinations in my collection. Here is the pink one from the third of November, I didn’t have exactly the same hot pink, but now I think that a softer shade is even more suitable.
These things were fashionable in school when I was ten and weaving them is also calming. At first I was just thinking about setting up some kind of stupid challenge for myself in the style of “one day, one bracelet, the whole of November,” but now I came to the decision “why not put it on the Internet at the same time, it turns out nice.” Therefore, here is a bracelet for November 1-3.
The main part is to create combinations of two colors that will never be repeated.
By the way, I still have a bunch of these things from two years ago + three that I just wove in October of this year. What can I say, weaving these bracelets helps me concentrate on watching something. I think I'll show them too.
As someone who grew up with "I'm not going to praise you for doing what's expected of you; that's not being good, that's doing the bare minimum" I want to encourage you to celebrate every little thing you can. Everything that takes energy and effort should be appreciated and you're allowed to be happy about trying.
What can happen to a cheap old work t-shirt if you have fabric paint, some free time, and a sudden renewed interest in I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream. Well, also because I didn't really want to lie around all day, but that's a more personalized reason. I can't say I tried very hard, I've never done this before, and I just wanted to see what would happen and not worry about it turning out badly. Suddenly, I'm happy with the result. The text, of course, spreads when I put it on because it's a tight fit, but who cares? I'm just happy I was attentive enough not to write the wrong letters. At the same time, I'll find out if the paint will really stick to the fabric after 48 hours, as promised on the package. Ooh, experiments :)
