I made this

A bird mask with off white flocking on the face, a burnished bronze finish on the beak, "feathers" made of silk threads and a rim of pearls of various sizes.
This shit took FOREVER

Almost done with the body of this piece, so moving on to finishing the background and some detail work to get this bad boy ready to go on the back of a jacket

Turning a Godzilla bsky meme into a back patch for a jacket: on a field of white satin and inside the thin black line of a comic book panel, Godzilla seems to be speaking. Though you can see the various shades of black and gray that go into the embroidery work, you can't see Godzilla's statement. That is just out of frame. "I AM GOING TO EAT A TAVO BELL"

Trying my hand at a relaxing Saturday, so I'm on my second slow coffee and just made brunch Scrambled Just Egg and crispy super firm tofu with adobo sauce, smashed avocado, and my apple-beet-carrot slaw on sourdough toast.

A close-up shot of a brightly colored Fancy Toast brunch plate.
On a white plate made messy by the toppings toppling down, three slices of sourdough toast layered with a green avocado base, a chipotle orange scramble of vegan egg substitute and crispy tofu, capped with a neon magenta slaw made from shredded beets, green apples, and carrots.

We got about 3 here. Want me to stomp some for you?

Don't know if it's depressive cycle/autism overload/ the world, but outsized emotional reactions & inability to find something that sounds worth eating say something's def off in Casa de Laurie Lando, however, remains perfect.

A tortoiseshell cat, with muted orange markings around her sleepy face like a sunburst lion's mane, sits in cat-loaf mode. Her golden eyes are only just opened, having been disturbed when her ridiculous human decided to ruin the moment by taking a picture.

One day I hope to get good enough at apparel making that I can anticipate ways to fix the problems other makers have identified in the pattern we're following. That is not this day, so we'll just have to live with this ridiculously 70s oversized collar. But whatever. I made a thing.

In a classic mirror selfie, a person stands in front of a dusty mirror wearing a boxy button-up shirt with vertical pastel rainbow stripes.

We will be gracious and ignore the shelf of medications on the left of frame and how the wearer's face has been hastily cropped out.

The shirt collar is LARGE. Like, Saturday Night Fever disco large. You don't get a sense of how large until you're wearing the shirt, and by then it's too late. You're traveling back in time with The Bee Gees whether you like it or not.

Clockwise: ✨ the first piece you did in 2025 ✨ your favorite piece of the year ✨ your most popular piece ✨ your most recent piece

A close-up of the top of a girl's dress. The fabric is off-white cotton gauze with vertical stripes of pastel rainbow colors. There's a flouncy lacy trim. The dress is laying on a bright pink table

I'm in a hotel room, wearing blue scrubs, an old stethescope, and an old-fashioned TV set on my head. The TV is wearing an old-fashioned mirror headband, the kind surgeons used before the development of high-powered electrical lighting.
I have a PhD in TV Studies. I'm a TV Doctor. I'm a TV who is a Doctor.

In a beige room, two figures stand with their wings outstretched against the wall. One figure is a statue of a nosferatu in full bat glory. The other figure is me, covered head to toe in shiny metallic fabric. I look like an owl crossed with a disco ball. Everyone who saw me couldn't help but whisper "shiny" under the breath as I passed.

A classic mirror selfie, where the mirror is very dusty and the framing is cropped to remove my head and legs. This is a process photo of the denim sweatshirt I'm making for one of my niblings as a gift this holiday season.

The Lando Norris (cat) who lives in my house sends her congratulations to the Lando Norris (human) that just won his first F1 title.

A small, fluffy tortishell cat with one nipped ear sits in a sunny window. She is surrounded by bright green plants.
I just told her that the human she's named for won a big prize in his job. She then demanded she be given a big prize as well.
Cats, man.

I went somewhere cool today

A church in Amsterdam, because, uh, I am, somehow, in Amsterdam

I have no news (no BAD news is good, right), but here are some of the deer who hang out so frequently in my garden I recognize them specifically

A Doe with a bad back left leg stands in a leaf-strewn yard. She stares back at you over her left shoulder. So much judgment in such a simple expression. She's perfect. I love her.

A friend just popped by to give me a bouquet of flowers, just because! I am surrounded by such a beautiful community of glorious people.

A bouquet of mauve and saffron chrysanthemums pour out from a clear glass vase. The vase sits on a pale gray table, surrounded by small decorative gourds. It is autumnal AF

Three women dressed as different versions of Uncle Baby Billy from the TV show The Righteous Gemstones. It is nighttime, and they are standing on a bust street in the warm light of a bar's porch

Laurie!@eugeniedanglars· Oct 26

I didn't get any pics with me in them at the actual parade, but here's our bonker of Uncles Baby Billy right before we left to go to the parade Runnin through the house with a pickle in my mouth... misbehavin!

3 women dressed as the character Uncle Baby Billy from the TV show The Righteous Gemstones pose together in a messy, sunlit living room. They are standing as if photographed mid-stride running, each with a small pickle in their mouths. They look ridiculous and glorious all at once.

I love your mask patterns!!! They've been the fuel for so many of my own creative endeavors!

two very different versions of bird costumes.
On the left, a silver and gold fluffy feathered version of a barn owl. The mask is covered in tiny mirrors and silver rhinestones.?
On the right, a dark black raven with fine detailing of feathers on the mask.
They are rather like night and day

A woman wears a snarling, silver werewolf mask and makes a sort of "grrr" menacing hand gesture. Since she's also weather a pale linen shirt, jorts, and bright blue flipflops, she menace is more laughable than threatening.

A small tortishell cat sits in a sunny windowsill planter box. Behind her are tall dracena plants, in front of her a bushy spider plant. She gazes out the window into the world beyond

The atomic tree monster in From Hell It Came (1957) is really cool looking! It would make a wicked awesome cosplay

Black and white still image from the movie From Hell It Came. A large tree-man monster grips a screaming blonde elite woman in a jungle forest. The monster has the skull-headed hilt of a knife sticking out of its chest from where the man killed to make the mobster was stabbed through the heart.
This movie is about American Imperialism, atomic testing in the South Pacific, and how men have been condescending towards women forever

Was craving Danish butter cookies and strong tea, and guess what Aldi had on sale today! Someone just got themselves a new sewing kit! And also some cookies!

A tin of golden yellow butter cookies nestled in frilly white paper in their classic blue tin rests on a wooden table that is very nearly the same buttery shade as the cookies.

I made myself a shirt today. It's absurd and I love it.

A middle-aged white woman wears a boxy t-shirt made from a positively silly fabric. A black jersey base with a shredded gray overlay layer. I only bought this ridiculous fabric because it was on such steep discount at Joann's during their going-out-of-buisiness sale. Poor one out for all the homies now who no longer have a local source for sewing projects. Fucking venture capitalists, destroying the world any way they can.

Lando was mad at me for a good while after I got back into town today, but she's relented and let me apologize for hanging out with other cats.

A tortishell cat stares into camera with bright golden eyes. The fur on her strawberry blonde chin is ruffled from humidity and makes her look a bit like a lion. She appreciates the comparison.

Had an inexplicable baking fail today but also found a completely black Begonia Rex at Cofers, so I guess we call today a draw

A golden but squat and craggy pound cake slouches on a black sheet pan.
The cake somehow souffléd itself and then collapsed like a dying star. It still tastes good, because lemon and tarragon are classic for a reason

A black-leafed Begonia Rex sits atop a wooden platter.

I will say, at least this unseasonably cold weather is letting me wear this sweatershirt my friend had made for me. Fleece is not normally reasonable in May

A close-up of embroidery on a heathered gray sweatshirt. The embroidery reads, "DR" in a bold serif font with "Laurie" in red cursive script across the middle. I just graduated with my PhD, so I'm Dr. Laurie now. The sweater makes it officially official

Watching a marathon of "Fantasmas" and creating a fabric for a costume. This is a lovely Saturday

A process shot of me transforming scraps of fabric into a new fabric. A sparkling sheet of silver, gold, and copper rags hangs off the side of an ironing board. At the upper end, a blue and white checkered hand towel lays across the fabric, a white iron resting atop.

A close-up of the fluttery metallic fabric

These enfrijoladas are not the prettiest thing I've ever made, but they taste damned good.

Three small tortillas folded over charred mushrooms, onions, and peppers sit on a white plate. They are covered I a thick sauce of pureed beans and chipotle en adobo. It is very... brown, but very yummy.

An update on my Clockwork Owl cosplay Beneath all those rhinestones is a mask from one of the patterns @palaeosinensis.com designs.

Looking face on at a mask of a barn owl. The mask is covered in thousands of silver rhinestones, but its beak will be covered in gold leaf. Right now the beak is just covered I gold paint.

A wider, side view of the sparkly owl mask sitting on a wooden table and surrounded by the detritus of art (several tubes of E6000 adhesive, a small blue plate covered in teeny rhinestones, among other tools of the trade)

My legs fell asleep ages ago, but she's too cute to disturb

A tortishell cat sleeps, stretched out along my legs, wrapped up in a neon pink fleece blanket, her right front paw lolling across my covered knee. I am so sweaty and uncomfortable, but she is gently snoring and so cute. You just see the bottom of her pale orange chin amidst the swirls of her mostly dark brown floor. Cats, man.

Having anxiety dreams again. Last night's was about having to remount my staghorn fern. Another was about where I stored my regalia. Know how ridiculous it is to wake up in a cold sweat over THAT jazz?! Anyway, my fern is fine.

A perfectly fine staghorn fern sits securely in its little pot on its little wooden shelf, surrounded by other little, perfectly fine plants. Anxiety is the pitts.

Ummmm... I think I'm trouble

Today seemed like a good day to make some art, so I started the headpiece for a costume I literally dreamt up. It's like a clockwork owl. Ish. Anyway, I see it clearly in my mind & now I'm starting to see it out of my mind, too. Thanks to @palaeosinensis.com for the mask pattern. Support them!
