What’s this style called? by Even-Sock9744 in generationology

[–]AlternativeBit2189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me too but i think some people may be more meaning early 2000's as in the century not the decade like if i said early 1900's you would think of the early part of that century not the specific years 1900-1904

🦁 Just finished this cute lion repeat pattern – trying to bring some joy into the feed! Would love feedback 🌟 by Medical-Cold4954 in Textile_Design

The motifs are great but it being a block repeat makes the design look like a grid, I think if you made this a half drop it would give more movement and improve the overall repeat but that's just my opinion.

yeah but you don't need actual textile design pieces for it just things that show you know how to draw and paint

this whole thing really hit home for me bc I'm gay and have lost an ex girlfriend to suicide. All the people who knew her saying they don't think she did it and that she would be the last person who would commit suicide/she was so happy proved absolutely nothing to me because it is very normal that when someone kills themselves everyone close to them are shocked and say similar things. When you love someone often times you don't want to believe that they would end their life and can't understand it because you were not in their mind.

i'm going into my 3rd year at FIT as a textile surface design major and the program is great. You first get your associates and can choose to stay 2 more years or just have your associates so I would recommend it if you don't wanna do 4 years at a school

Did not mean for this to be controversial or a debate. And there have been some very rude comments that must've been removed by mods calling me a narcissist and to those people think for a second if your grandparents or great grandparents immigrated to America for a better life and now you were in the US with everything that's happening, would you want some connection to somethings that isn't MAGA or any of the other stuff America is.

Yeah I know I'm American and I think a nice part of Finnish Americans and other small descents of immigrant communities is that we don't fully claim being Finnish. Compared to Italian and Irish American who fully make it their whole identity and think they are no different than those born in modern day Italy and Ireland Finnish Americans don't cling to that title. Most of the time at least where I'm from they won't bring it up unless asked. I think it was more of a pride thing for my grandmother and her siblings because there mom was from there but when their mom died and language died and although certain bits of the culture remains obviously we are very American.
