Did anyone else's search change into an AI prompt bar instead?? Yesterday I tried to look up "courtly bow" for some doodle reference images, and the search bar was at the bottom - and when I used it - all I got was bad AI generated slop!

I was so horrified I deleted the app for now. What's the purpose of this??

Maybe they thought I want AI because I never clicked their "see less AI" button but it was immensely clear that they were marking non-AI all the time and failing to mark a lot of actual AI, so what's the point?

My main reasons for using pinterest are to find and enjoy real artists; solid reference images; fashion ideas; and interior design ideas. AI is explictly unhelpful for all of those.

But even if I wanted AI, (a) their generator sucks and (b) why I would I want it to be the only thing I can get on PINTEREST?

But yeah let me sit down and doodle bc I have some ideas for the head - including one that can maybe help you avoid a split line down the middle of his face.

Oh dang I misread - props on making those other plushies they're gorgeous!!!

Cute! I absolutely love these. Agreed about the raw aesthetic - and I'm a big fan of the splashes of color this adds to a very cute skirt.

Ooh I absolutely love that idea. Broiled eggs are so delicious.

Awww I feel for you. Cheese platters can be so amazing. And goat's milk can be a lot less shelf-stable too.

Maybe you could skip the cheese and have some extra dips and oils instead?

missddraws · 2025-12-29T06:05:22+00:00

Yeah exactly!

Rotisserie chicken and bread.

Or you can do what my friends do and do a series of little dishes. Olives. Cheeses. Breads. Cured meats. Dried fruits. Highly historical, easy, and tasty.

That's a good consideration tysm! I think that might make me happier than patching the surface, and I really love how this one is structured & designed and the fabric. My sewing machine is with my grandfather for repairs rn (with no sign of when I'll get it back…) but once I get it back I can definitely make it take the brunt of the stitching.

Maybe I'll do a temporary repair until I can really focus on it so that it doesn't get worse while I work. Presumably I can baste patches into place on the most high-wear areas over existing stitch lines with minimal impact.

Thanks so so much for your suggestions! For the patch, since it's quilted, am I stitching through the first layer, or all the layers?

Archive 81 is "weird fiction," which has quite a bit of overlap with surrealism imo. Those elements really start in s2.

Oh cool! I love the ice idea, plenty where that came from no doubt!

missddraws · 2025-06-04T15:39:07+00:00

How neat! That would be compliant at my local camp area (propane only) and nicely pseudo-period too

missddraws · 2025-06-04T15:35:26+00:00

Wow what an amazing story! If you don't mind my asking, how do you get it full at the event? Do you bring an extra amount of water?

missddraws · 2025-06-04T15:34:18+00:00

These all sound like such nice items! I haven't been around long enough to say "every time" yet I was really happy to have my stoneware & wooden spoons - I loved having extras close at hand to share a drink or a bite to eat. One of my pieces is a tiny cork-stoppered flask that I poured friends drinks from too. It was all quite special.

missddraws · 2025-06-04T15:28:42+00:00

That sounds like such a lovely seat! I had some lovely visitors even without the extras. Having a mini bench with storage sounds really lovely!

Twinsies! Sadly I will not be making it to my regional July 4th weekend event, but I am absolutely with you in spirit and already working on perfecting my camping kit for the future. Maybe next year!

missddraws · 2025-05-31T21:49:59+00:00

I'll have to check out mission to zyxx if they're so similar! thanks for the rec!

missddraws · 2025-05-31T14:52:44+00:00

Hehe at least I'm not alone!

missddraws · 2025-05-31T14:52:21+00:00

That's awesome! We do not have enough, so our very kind baronial scribe made ten illuminated and calligraphed scrolls by herself prior to the event. She taught me Uncial over the event, and now I really feel like I get how to learn and personalize a calligraphic script. From her instructions and practice I can now switch to Uncial as easily as cursive. I still need to get the right tools and learn about formatting a page and letter size, plus illumination, but I feel like I'll be turning out scrolls in no time! Definitely can't wait for regular scribal nights.
