Curate, connect, and discover
people have the audacity to ask if i'm okay after I have been listening to infinite baths by sleep token and confession by girl in red nonstop for the last few weeks
just listened to even in arcadia (the song) and oh my god vessel sounds so hurt :(
i don't have any idea if it's true, but it feels like the album version of caramel is faster than the single version
i felt inspired and made a desktop wallpaper for damocles
stayed up to listen to the new sleep token song and holy fuck it's worth every single moment of its four minutes and fifty seconds of runtime

This is the jeans jacket I hand embroidered for the Sleep Token concert back in December 2024.
The project took me about 6 months to complete, with a longer break in between.
It was quite a process, which I will describe below, if anyone is interested in that. If there are still questions, don't hesitate to reach out and I will answer to the best of my abilities, as I am by no means a professional :D
So. It started out as a little thought. I have that old jeans jacket collecting dust in my closet, and I want to upgrade that. Said, done.
I get a cheap pack of embroidery needles, even cheaper embroidery floss (which I regretted at one point, but I will explain that later on) and an old embroidery frame from my mother-in-law.
And then it was go time.
I started tracing the big logo in the middle. Seeing as I have absolutely no talent in drawing, I'm very glad that tracing on a tablet is an option :)
Printing that out, I taped the shape to the middle of the back piece and drew along the rim with a heaterasable pen. You can get that at any store that sells those pens with a rubber tip to erase the ink :D
After that, I set out to embroider the entire logo. It is made entirely with a satin stitch.
If there is any interest, I can explain different stitches in a seperate post :)
That took about 2-3 weeks to finish, as I work full-time, and weekends sometimes as well. Also, let's be real, I was so very slow ! But when I finished, I was so proud of myself, as it was my very first piece.
But ever the over achiever, I let it sit for a few days, before I thought "I can do more."
So, back to planning.
I sampled a lot of patterns and decided for this. It looked cool, but I wasn't sure I would complete it in time.
However, my mom did a lot of things wrong, but she didn't raise a quitter, so I got my shit together and started this enourmous project.
I ordered transfer paper online and printed everything out on there. It sticks to the material, and you can embroider on it and wash it off when you are finished.
I started with the more simple patterns, as the glyphs or the vines. Looked pretty solid, and I was extremely satisfied with my work, as well as my gained skill and haste.
Now that was the problem.
It looked so pretty at this point to me, that I was afraid of messing it up, so I fell into a bad headspace and stopped working on it for at least 8 weeks.
By now, it was end of July, so time was running out fast, considering the biggest part, the mirrored roses, still had to be done.
I got my shit back together thanks to my bestie, and started a trail run for colour scheme.
I was so happy that it looked exaktly like I imagined, and got motivation from that.
I was about to cry, because just one single double coloured rose head took about 5-6 hours to make.
One entire rose side took me 4 weeks to finish D:
So, in the warm summer evenings, I sat on the balcony and got to work.
At least I knew what to do now and didn't have to think about that anymore.
No think, just stitch.
By the end of September I was done, thankfully much earlier than anticipated.
Now I simply had to wash off the water dissolvable transfer paper.
I did handwash it, but there was some glue residue left, so I had to bite the bullet and put it in the washer.
Those thirty-something minutes were terror. I was afraid the stitches won't hold, or the residue won't come off.
But thankfully, it was alright, and I let it dry out in the sun.
Now I wear that jacket whenever I can !! I love it so much.
I got quite a few compliments, especially at the London gig.
But the best one was when I went shopping for more high quality floss in a local craft store, and older lady complimented the jacket, and told me she was happy that the youth keeps things like that alive.
So, I made it a permanent hobby and already started another project on here that I will want to update regularly.
Thank you for reading, and feel free to ask away :D

āTake me back to Edenā but it was never Eden. It was always Gethsemane. āI was in love with the thought that we were in love with each other.ā He romanticized that relationship until he broke his own heart AND ONCE AGAIN HE IS JUST LIKE ME FOR. REAL.
āYou never saw me naked. You wouldnāt even touch me. Except if you were wasted.ā
Vessel, baby, my love, give me a name. Tell me who it was. I just want to have a conversation.
Vesselās little āwhoopās gives me life. It brings him closer to human in my eyes. It does so much for the song. I love everything about this song so much.
I WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT THIS!!!
"Godspeed to my enemies who've been askin' for that call sign"
vs
"I will be watching for your enemies, to let them know that they contend with me"
So now HE has enemies too?? Boy is proper fighting now omg??

Roses??? A black bird??? "Come on, out from underneath who you were" ??
