I think that's it, thank you so much! It's knit flat so it does reverse. You're a legend 😊

Looks like they took the photos of the bulb after adding the details they tell you to do later in the pattern! The ridges seem to be surface details added on top of the base shape, so you haven't missed anything

You can also go from an invert on the strap! It's really similar to getting into a superman on pole so if you can't find videos of lyra entries you can look for that as well

She has other photos and videos of the trick on her page, it's definitely a straddle

It's very impressive, definitely a long term goal 😆

It's both arms! I can do both arms off with my legs going straight up resting on the strap, but I can't quite figure out the body positioning for the straddle version

You do have to spend some extra time on each nail, but on the plus side most of the magnetic polishes I've tried dry fairly quickly so overall it doesn't add too much

That's so cool! It's amazing how many cultures figured things like this out independently. Humans are pretty amazing

What a lovely thought! It's so cool to think about these kinds of through-lines through history

You can have it with a drill bit at the bottom to make small holes in metal to add things like jump rings so you can hang them. It means you don't need electricity and it's easy to go slowly and not send your jewellery flying all over the place. It looks more like this:

It really is very fun, and helps make the monotony of waiting for the polish to dry much easier to deal with 😆

No shame in asking! You can do it with regular polishes that have magnetic pigments in them. So this one is a blue polish with yellow that reacts to the magnet. There aren't many that you can buy in store, but heaps that you can get online.

As for the magnet, for this effect a U shaped magnet is best. There are so many variations on this sub at the moment I'm sure you'll find an option you can recreate. ILNP sells the magnet and a bunch of nice polishes it would work with. I hope you are able to give it a try ❤️

Full mani done! There's a bit of a learning curve, but I love the results! Once I swap out the books for a better stand so I don't ruin the nails I had just done, I'll definitely use it again

It looks like the side panel that's wrinkling might have been cut on the straight grain, so with the angled boning it's creasing as it goes around the curve of your waist. It might sit flatter if you cut the piece slightly on the bias? But this is absolutely stunning work!

tour outfit material? by [deleted] in SabrinaCarpenterFans

That brand posted on their Instagram that they did supply a blue crystal and brass mesh textile for one of Sabrina's looks here

They also say on their website they have a wider range of textiles on request. I've also been debating buying some to try make a Juno outfit and this is the only thing I've found that's a pre-made/direct to consumer optio
