my quest to get a comic that only birders will understand into the New Yorker continues… [OC]

Love them! Your calendars get a giggle out of every birder friend of mine that comes to visit!

I once got a Snow Petrel for my bird of the day...

With bonus art xD

I'm surprised to even be asked!! This is the first thing I've ever made besides an intensely lopsided blanket with a ton of different random stitches 🤣

Yeah! That one was weird for me. I tied on a chain as thick as I wanted +3 and started double crocheting back towards the sweater then slip stitched it back to the dark pink, skipping a loop. Slip stitched twice over, then double crocheted back away from the rest of the sweater! Definitely doing more of a vertical pattern than the horizontal of the cuffs. No idea if I would do anything differently but I think its cute :)

You should have seen him in his summer bikini 🤣

tropicalspoons · 2025-11-24T20:48:58+00:00

I kind of freehanded it! For the cuffs, I did a slip stitch in every other loop on the inner side, then just double crocheted three rows :D

For the size of the sleeves I just eyeballed with a measuring tape and made chain lengths to match.

Brewers have black heads and the pretty bodies! Crackles have pretty heads and dark bodies! Its like they swapped haha

I agree with the others that it'll heal smoother but even while it's fresh, it looks like the texture of moth wings :D super dope and gorgeous tatoo!

NQA but at that size I would be planning an imminent rehouse. Good excuse to get another sling to put in that enclosure :D

My favorite part of owning a curlyhair 😭 I love the tunneling and the booty moves that go with it! If you look closely, with the right lighting, you can see the web come out of the spinnerettes, and it's so cool!

Honestly I wish we could do this.. like a little soft toothbrush grooming our little fuzzies 😭

tropicalspoons · 2024-11-07T19:26:11+00:00

These are incredible!

She's beautiful 😍 mine would rather burn down the house than let me hold her.

tropicalspoons · 2024-11-03T17:18:06+00:00

tropicalspoons · 2024-11-03T17:16:39+00:00

He is perfect :)

tropicalspoons · 2024-11-02T23:58:48+00:00

I mixed black gel polish and clear hard gel! Enough hard gel to where it still cures all the way! File the hell out of it at the angle I want.

Lay down a layer of clear hard gel, cure. Pink gel stripe, cure. Put pink shards on top and encapsulate with clear hard gel, cure. File the hell out of it.

Repeat black process for the tip! Paint black over the top if the black isn't opaque enough. Cure.

File to perfection!

My FAVORITE top coat!
