Ok on to the eyeball.
The same helmet is on a gridded cutting mat on the floor. In front of it are several of 2.5-inch circles cut out of bright green sparkly fabric with a small blue-black pupil in each one.
A Caucasian woman’s hand is holding a bike helmet covered with a roller derby style “panty”, a stretchy helmet cover made out of white fabric with very small silver glitter on it. It glistens horribly.
Step 1: make a roller derby panty for my bike helmet. Fuck it, actually make two so I can…
Step 2: make one large eyeball and seven small eyeballs so the panty can be reversible because I’m extra af.
I had cut the irises and pupils as perfect circles (I have an accuquilt for the literal only purpose of cutting perfect circles) and then decided to use the flower shape for the pupils so it’s slightly irregular and looks not-quite-right. Then hand stitched the pupils to the irises to enhance the irregularity. Next will be sewing them onto the panty, hemming it, and it’ll be done.
The finished irises. One is about 5” across and the other is about 2.5” across. Both are bright green sparkly sequin fabric with a black pupil with deep blue microsequins.

A larger flower shape, closer to 2” across.
A small subtle flower shape cut from blue and black sparkly fabric, held in a woman’s hand. It’s about 1” across.
Ok garbage lighting here but the tentacles are done!!
I know I have done well when I walk into the living room and my husband immediately chokes laughing.

The finale of Alien: Earth left a lot to be desired, compared to the solid season it had.
Still, glad if it gets renewed.
@343max do you mean like that?!??

Hi, my name is Faye and I’m new to mastodon. I’m always making something whether it’s painting, making jewelry, sewing, or cross stitch. I do make my own cross stitch patterns and this one is one of my favorites. I enjoyed doing this mashups between a piranha plant and a xenomorph.

It's Friday night, y'all. Time for #wenchwatches
Tonight: #alien
Right away we're struck with the film's iconic set design. Unlike the pristine sets of Star Trek, this one had more of a lived in feel. You can immediately see the dirt and dinginess of a spacecraft that is, in effect, a place of work. Instead, Alien takes more of it's cues from the likes of "Silent Running". The lighting is moody, with excellent use of light and dark to enhance the sets, rather than douse them in blinding light.
The effect plays right into the characters of the film. These aren't explorers, ambassadors, or scientists...they're laborers. They're working stiffs.
There's a kind of oil-rig-in-space kind of vibe among the characters. They aren't friends, they're co-workers brought together by circumstance and the hope for the big payoff at the end of their tour.
I've mentioned before how I watched the Alien franchise backwards, and indeed, the first installment was the one I watched last. In fact, I watched all the Alien films one Christmas holiday season as we were borrowing a laserdisc player. I had wrapped everyone's presents -- including my own -- that year while watching this film.

We've rewatched Alien a few times here already, but I have a friend who hasn't actually seen it yet, so...
Let's watch!
