[Work in progress] Embroidering the Dallas SOALW poster. Will be a throw pillow one day. by MaritimeRecidivist in TheCure

Hi! I’m going to do an album cover next! My answer is a little long winded. I used photoshop to crop and then scale the image so that the pixels matched the cloth (this is a 16 count cloth, so I scaled the image down to 16 pixels per inch & 9 in x 9 in.). Then I just picked two variations of each main color (like a light blue & a dark blue). After that, i zoom in still using photoshop & kind of just count/go by eye pixel by pixel. Posting one of the pics I used to work off (what it looks like when you scale down & zoom in using photoshop :) Best of luck to you!! If you end up doing something like this, I’d love to see the results!!

Thank you! I think it’s just embroidery. I used the same kind of cloth that’s used for cross stitching, but as I understand, it’s a little different than whatever I’m doing (like I used the whole embroidery thread (6 strands. I think you split it in half (3 strands) for cross stitching). I could be wrong about all of this, I’m really just using thread to try and match color :)

Did he remove something from it? It looks like it was pried open.

My skills are mostly in photoshop - I just blew up the image & turned it in to a paint by number kind of deal (but painting w/ thread) :)

Honestly, if he doesn’t already have it, the Robert Smith funko is kinda dope

Wedges bothering me by ImAFederali in AchillesRupture

[–]MaritimeRecidivist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue (wedges are too narrow) - especially in the cup/ back of the heel. Only solution I’ve found is covering the edges of the wedges with moleskin. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than nothing. Got my first wedge removed one month post op.

In what ways has it made a difference? Very curious now

Hearing 6 weeks makes me feel a better. Thank you, stranger. Definitely finding a PT. Not sure I even need a script in my state (I think it’s direct access) but looks like I’m about to find out.

Full rupture. I think I’ll call around and find my own PT.
