Eli

as someone who works at Welsh Gov? yeah,,, yeah.

A landscape painting of a grey archway with horse symbols and an octopus-like one on the keystone. A figure in a yellow cloak sits on the right base of the arch, with a staff lent against it. The surroundings are a summery green, with yellow dirt going diagonally through the gate, indicating heavy footfall.

I was recently commissioned to paint this image based off a previous photo of mine. The painting itself is A2 and the print the commissioner received it A1 in size!

Painted with gouache, with some pencil crayon added in certain areas.

the teeny tiny dragon,,,,,, they are mine

It's very important we don't allow this kind of racist narrative to spread under cover of 'climate'. It can and will be used to justify inhumane policies, especially against Africans.

noooooo

I watched it a while ago but I do think I enjoyed it overall, despite the sanitising slime and the somewhat oorah-ness of it! and the theme tune grows on you, unfortunately xD

What if I quit my job to focus on soup. Just making soup and eating it

Oh my god yes

going into Bread and Circuses with the retroactively applied context of DISCO and SNW and I got absolutely bodied in my feels by McCoy's little speech to Spock, I *will* need a few business days to recover

my brain is making me watch them in chronological order so I've done Ent, Disco, SNW, and now I'm on TOS which YES is a product of its time BUT I love it and this is my blorbo Spock, and his boyfriend Kirk, and their boyfriend McCoy and I love them very much

rotating a burgeoning Star Trek special interest in my head like a prized possession

not me closing discord because of the outage only to reopen it immediately expecting something different like I'm raiding the fridge in the middle of the night

The reason people who don't use alt text need to understand how and why to do alt text is because we need everyone to do alt text (or ask for someone else to do it for them).

It doesn't get done if only the people who need alt text understand how and why to do it.

A picture of Eli, a white nonbinary person with a round face, large round glasses, and ear length strawberry blonde hair cut in a very grown out mullet. They are wearing headphones and an orange t-shirt with BB-8's top dome embroidered on it (t-shirt by Jedi Kaylin). He is smiling and resting a peace sign against his cheek.

They are wearing headphones, dungarees with a busy autumnal print featuring pumpkins and autumn leaves all over, and a black tank top with a design cut off by the bib of the dungarees. He is smiling.

A picture of Eli in fantasy clothing. They are standing in front of a dark pool with roman features just about visible at the borders. Eli is wearing antlers and a veil, a white dress with panels of fabric sequined with starbursts, the same fabric is used for the sleeves, which are loose and floating. He is wearing a replica of a priest's stole featuring a sun, a Labyrinth, and runes specific to the LARP game. On his belt is a white pennant with a sun and star connected with threads and surrounded by a circle. Eli is reading from a notebook and using a cane to support himself. The photo is by Astora Photography, with a watermark at the bottom.

a little introduction!

Hi I'm Eli!

I do a lot of sewing and general costuming, mostly for LARP, as well as some other stuff like weaving!

I love fantasy as well as media set in the stars. I'm trying to pick reading back up again!

I also love the colour orange totally neurotypically 🍊

maybe I do a little thread of everything I've made so far this year at some point

making dress to be a pretty lil guy: 😊
trimming the skirt and the lining so the hem is right: 😞

I missed you on the list but I also forgot to do flagging because of Adverse Circumstances (I am once more victimised by my body), so that's on me xD

SAME SAME SAME I'M DESPERATE I WANNA BE A LIL LIGHTSPINNER

picture of a small notebook with a cartoon shibu inu looking out from it. The notebook is mostly white and orange.

this is mine, I record:
- date finished
- what the project is
- vague techniques / materials used
- guesstimate of how long the project took me

Highly recommend finding a cute little notebook and logging the things you make in the year to generate seretonin and a sense of achievement

books 👀
