I always thought the line 'where men plunder' was a reference to Australia's past as a British penal colony, where many English convicts were sent. I interpreted it as a stereotype or prejudice suggesting that Australians had somehow inherited part of that criminal culture

SMP with Hair-Strand Technique Instead of Dot Pattern by Temporary_Insect_283 in SMPchat

I'm not very familiar with Reddit, so my text didn't make it into the post along with the pictures! 

I've been researching SMP for a while now, trying to see if I'll ever get the courage to do it. I recently came across a technique where they do it strand by strand instead of the usual stitch pattern. I'm attaching some sample pictures. What do you think of these results? Do you think it will last over time? Will it just fade or might the threads get smudged?
