Oh nooooo, that's such a hard one to deal with. 🫂

Oh, please keep us posted! Bonus Kid relies on that stuff.

Yeah, talking about factories retooling sure sounds like more than just a special foot. Presumably something that keeps the stitch in synch with the teeth, spiritual kin to a sequin machine or something.

Tumblr evidently decided this picture was porn or something, I dunno.

My ADHD hack is that but with turning tools. Currently I know where two sets are (for "set" being the smallest tube and rod, the only *important* size).

Anyway, this is one of the alternates for the design, which is the Noto Emoji 💰 with the $ on it, a Santa-sack version, and entirely too many trash-themed alternates. ("Fandom Trash" is another.) I had scraps of black vinyl already lying around for the first test so, trash it is!

I'm doing really well (if kinda exhausted: anaesthesia, even just twilight + a couple days lying around absolutely puts your body in power-save mode and I'm like waaaaake uuuuuuup). This is the hard one: when I have the other one done I'll have a good one to stand on which I def don't right now.

(I should probably add up all my "colors I have gotten for a one-off"/"colors that didn't really work well for dragons" and work out a color swap with you though.)

TY, but I do have off-green ones (Aquasol and Aquamarine, maybe Teal) and it's just gotta be a solid Christmas green.

I think I'm going to have to go with Ruby, and switch up the body embroidery to green-and-white. I usually avoid red-eyed dragons, but Ruby really is a pretty color.

Thank you! Mint's the closest I've been able to find too but based on screen colors it hasn't quite been *it*. I am guessing there's some technical/cost reason they haven't made a deep neutral-to-slightly-bluish green backlit because c'mon, there's ruby and sapphire, emerald seems logical.

beaders happen to know the names of a true green, backlit Gemduo color? And either a source for them or, if any of you are willing to spare some, a listing for a few pairs?

(Though really, given the number of Pernese dragons I make I should get a whole tube.)

Arrrrgh! I put red and white on the dragon's body figuring the eye would be green, and I went into my stash of Gemduos and went "okay, those are the various aquas, where are the true greens?" and then I remembered I have true *blue* and not true green. @peculiarityshop.bsky.social, do any of your

The plush version ends up something like this (except with icing on the body, obviously).

Turns out I did an extra sheet of letters, whoops (added an extraneous -ing onto the first word).

This is the nice thing about individual-letter buntings: one typo doesn't screw everything up. 😅

There are kind of the less-interesting version of the Dragon Bunting Design... I'm going to make the fancier ones for the starting letters of the words, but instead of the eponymous Dragons at the end there will be the kawaii monsters from the Adventurer's Pack.

I had CLEF PEEL TONG but spouse "fixed" it.

Yeah, they're definitely not my sole grocery store (though neither is Aldi).

They're such a weird hybrid: the aesthetics are warehouse store, but the number of products is way higher. So they're like a regular grocery store but with larger packages of everything. 🤷
