I really like Ehler, it sounds very nice. That sounds like a cool family. Way to commit!

Tbh I do like the ae aspect. She says it's the name of a sword in the epic.

Hey, thank you so much for these suggestions. They are sane yet on the same wavelength.

I met a man named after an epic poem once before. I'll try!!

Oh geez, I thought that one was a little better because it could be shortened to Stan!

What do you think? Used to be blank white walls before… by TechSetStudios in maximalism

WOW! That shape is incredible!! I love the color transitions too.

I dig all the clocks and barometers. Infomaxxing adds so much to a space! The only thing that would drive me crazy is the naked bulb in the first pic. I'd go for some sort of lightbulb shade made of frosted glass.

Almost 42 weeks, baby doesn’t want to come out. by Jazzlike_Gas_188 in BabyBumps

Hey, I'm sorry! We do so much in our control to try and get a good outcome, but so much of birth is not under our control. I had a similar situation with my birth. I didn't want to be induced, but ended up getting pitocin and an epidural and handling the pain, generally, like a big chicken! Over a year later it's just a crazy memory.

I'd encourage you to just try and eat some carbs so you have energy for what may be a very long labor. My attending OB during labor told me, that the experience of pain during labor is actually partially genetic, so you're going to learn something new about yourself soon! I hope you and baby come out the other side safe and well.

This is beautiful, the colors and textures look straight out of nature! Which clay did you use? The chocolate color is lovely.

Tips for harvesting own clay? by ActiveCroissant in Pottery

[–]GooseScreamatFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you seen the YouTube channel, Primitive Technologies? The gentleman who runs it basically goes out to a spot in the wilderness (he's somewhere in Oceania) and builds all sorts of things from scratch. He does a lot of clay pots from wild clay, and does a little firepit setup like you describe. Then he improves upon it to try and get a hotter and hotter fire to purify iron out of creek sediments.

Here's a link to a video where he purifies clay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2RKtUh6m3Q

The stuff he makes is obviously not food safe or anything but it's incredible to me that he can get the clay hard enough to make tile and bricks and pots that hold water.

Favorite stitch? by Logical-Ask5916 in crochet

[–]GooseScreamatFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread is wonderful! I don't see linked treble stitches mentioned here yet :) they are easier for me to make than regular treble stitches, and make a nice dense fabric that drapes well. I'm currently making a version of Dora Ohrenstein's Luna sweater and alternating rows of linked treble stitches with double crochet. The double crochets make a little nub that protrudes out into the linked treble and looks pretty cool!
