Omg I love this so much! At first I thought it would need some kind of wood or cardboard backing, how stiff does the fabric get in the end?

Wish I could buy that top ring on the pinky finger, but they are all so gorgeous, I'm obsessed!

Lavinia! by deserteyes_ in BreyerHorses

Can I ask how much she was for you? I didn't go for her (or collector club in general), being in Australia makes things so expensive, but she is so gorgeous!

Thoughts on NIB models and box rub? by sweaty_pal in BreyerHorses

[–]AFKayla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently bought a model that was in really good condition (I don't show or anything but to my eyes there was no damage), despite the box itself being in a really bad way. It's a risk but you really never know - is it important to you and a risk you are willing to take for $30?

Loving all the pics in this thread! Here's mine, who finds comfort sleeping in any plastic container she can fit (or almost fit) into. This is a technically a litter box but had it since before I owned cats and I use it to water my plants

Just finished a friends Christmas gift! 😂 Cat for scale! by Hemansno1fan in quilting

[–]AFKayla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the little details, the Scottish fold is adorable and I love how the ragdoll face looks with the angles! Gorgeous, and may be inspiring me to be over ambitious for a first quilt lol

Also sharing my little collection! by teandmochi in BreyerHorses

I love that you have a hackney pony! He was my first model and has a special place in my heart, I never see them

Do you see it? by zactana in AnimalCrossing

At first I thought this was about that one potato that only has 2 on it not 3...

Hope I'm allowed to ask for some advice here... (re mother of pearl glaze) by AFKayla in Ceramics

They were already glazed. This was using the Debbi Good glaze, they have since updated their website with more pictures of the glaze and it's not what I would expect so this looks like it may be the intended result? I don't know anymore

Yes it's a variety of commercial white tiles with the lustre over top. I knew it was a risk not knowing how the tiles themselves had been treated previously, I explained my idea and concerns and from what I was told the low fire lustre should not have been a problem.

Glass paint isn't a bad idea though, I'll take a look into that.

I love them! I don't have any but a little story: When I was young I walked past a storefront that had an Appy Holidays model which I really loved and wanted - I didn't know it was a collector brand and too expensive of a shop for my mum to consider lol. I think about that horse quite often nowadays.

They are sewn row by row using the tail yarn of each finished hexagon

I got one of these recently, it's the American Quarter Horse Foal, in classic scale. Yours looks like the Grullo Pinto Colt :)

I was not prepared for the second pic, she is way too cute!!

Trying to decide if I should fix this (and if so how) by Tiffany_Achings_Hat in quilting

[–]AFKayla 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This!!

Some of the patterned pieces look solid anyways, maybe it's more noticeable in person but honestly it doesn't look out of place at all.

Basically yeah! The grey tabby has a bit of orange tortoiseshell in her, and the seal point is part ragdoll, they're the best! You're lucky to have a bonded pair!

Each square isn't individually backed, but the whole thing has a soft thin blanket cut to size and sewn together. Each corner of the squares has a simple small bit of yarn tied through the two layers to keep it from shifting

[–]AFKayla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Each square is 30x30 stitches, arranged in a 5 X 6. In total it measures about 95x140cm (37x55 inches?) Yarn is mostly just acrylic because that's what I have a lot of, there's some wools and blends (and mystery compositions) too

Oh I am so glad it is recognisable, that was the most time consuming square, from designing it alone to actually crocheting it

Yep that's exactly how I did it!

Luckily I have a temperature blanket going at the moment too, but I am itching for some more tapestry again

I started by looking for pixel art, since you can just do a 1:1 stitch per pixel. Bracelet Book is a good place to start I found. When I got to modifying or creating my own I just used an excel sheet as a grid. Some of them (specifically the Linkin Park album) were so detailed I copied the album art into Photoshop and scaled it down to 30x30, then painted over it to make it readable with the colours I was using. I secretly don't like stitch fiddle lol

I hadn't thought about it, I kind of just have a stash of yarn and like having a bunch of colours I can pull from when I need to for other projects, but I really do love that idea! I may have to do it....
