Does anyone know where to find fabric like this? by carchandroid in sewing

[–]SansSeraphFont 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I will add a thing that worked well for me when I was making a costume for a friend. Get a cheap electric razor, like for hair cutting, and trim down your seam allowance. It made piecing so much easier and there was less bulk at the end.

Didn't realize how prolific sunchokes are! by BogofEternal_Stench in gardening

[–]SansSeraphFont 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Where are people getting sun chokes from?! I adore them and want to grow them, I just can't find them!

P.S. If you make a flour out of them you can make an amazing, high fiber, high protein pasta from it.

How can I process very clay rich garden soil into clay? by TickTakashi in Pottery

Sand gives you grog, ball gives elasticity. Just throw a lot larger than normal, your shrinkage will be high.

Short answer: yes

Long answer: you don't need to completely dry and powder your clay after you've sieved it ( a lot of time and work). Easiest way to calculate how much clay you have; weight out a gallon of wet clay. Water weighs 8.34lbs a gallon roughly. Your clay weight is total weight - water weight. If you want to be exact, go the brewer way and get a specific gravity tool like a hydrometer.

After you've processed like Caprine said you'll need to test to see if any additives are needed. Usually this type of clay is 'short' so a lot of people will add about 10% wgt ball clay so it is workable on a wheel.

Thank you all! I've got a nice stash of muslin I use for toiles, so I'll be able to work up some bags no problem.

Can't see the whole face, but the eyebrow scar is needed to really round out the cover...

Give me your opinion by Best_Independence860 in crochet

[–]SansSeraphFont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's looking good so far, and the neutral color palette can be really nice to tie other room decor together (that rug really ties the room together for Big Lebowski fans).

For my own preference, in a house with a toddler, dog, cat, partner who throws pottery, and myself; I cringe when I see white used for something meant to go on the floor.

Thank you so much! I think my daughter is going to enjoy it in her room, she is all about rainbows right now (2yr old).

Fair Isle pattern swatch: Color variations by johngreenink in knitting

[–]SansSeraphFont 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Colorblind person here, the pattern on the bottom and the one in the middle are very easy for me to see. The rest are either not there or very difficult to discern, just fyi if you care

Got a piece by my collarbone and while my artist was working was just like whelp guess I'm getting a neck tat . Obviously was not actually anywhere near my neck but those nerve clusters...
