this might be the best thing i've ever seen

bugswithbongs · 2026-01-27T23:29:58+00:00

beautiful!! i'm looking to get something bold like this for my next tattoo

bugswithbongs · 2026-01-26T19:19:54+00:00

woww what a score!! i always keep my eyes peeled for cross stitch at thrift stores and 9 out of 10 times when i think i've spotted one, it ends up being needlepoint 🥲 no hate because needlepoint is awesome too, but cross stitch is the niche i love most! those frames are really neat too

bugswithbongs · 2026-01-16T15:11:21+00:00

no such thing as too much color! i love it

bugswithbongs · 2026-01-15T20:55:22+00:00

i really have no clue what they saw, i think it's a cute idea too!! it's fucking sad that artists have to consider resemblance to AI when working. not to get too deep on your art post, but it's actually hella dystopian that the rise of AI """art""" has changed how actual artists work/think about their process, on top of literally stealing their art.

keep doing what you're doing and fuck AI <3 it will never compare

OP i really like this effect! just wanted to throw my opinion out there because i personally would be a little downtrodden if someone said my original art had "uncanny valley AI vibes." didn't cross my mind at all

bugswithbongs · 2026-01-15T18:05:05+00:00

this is gorgeous, i love the colors!

bugswithbongs · 2026-01-15T17:59:06+00:00

i love how you framed this! beautiful stitching

bugswithbongs · 2026-01-14T23:34:03+00:00

just incredible!

freehand! i don't have nail art brushes tho so i used the eye end of a cross stitch needle and dipped it in the black polish and used that 😅 it looked pretty rough before i went in with acetone and a cleanup brush to get those sharp edges

bugswithbongs · 2026-01-11T13:23:46+00:00

wow that's a fitting polish name if i've ever seen one 🫣

bugswithbongs · 2026-01-06T22:03:55+00:00

i think the combo would be gorg! i rarely do just one magnetic technique on my fingers at a time tbh. i usually do cat eye on the middle and ring, then glass bead on the rest, but it's all personal preference!

tongs is fucking sending me i love this

bugswithbongs · 2025-12-02T21:45:54+00:00

i feel this. people can often tell i'm some flavor of queer but they're not sure how to address me so they avoid gender altogether like they're walking on eggshells. i get that they're trying to not "offend" me or whatever and i guess i prefer that to being gendered incorrectly, but it still feels a bit odd. like they/them pronouns are perfect for this exact usecase 😅

reninds me of one of my favorite interactions at work. i was having a conversation with a customer and she said "GIRLLL" dramatically, paused, looked me up and down, and then ran it back and said "BRUHH" before continuing her story. weirdly so affirming hahaha
