“Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

Kurt Vonnegut

Dope

Is this silk screening?

And dude, does she have to do this every time?

This isn’t silk screening; that literally uses a screen for every color: https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Silk-Screen/

This is called water dying, or marble dying. And yes, each one is unique and done by hand.

STAR WARS WRITING RESOURCES

PLEASE REBLOG AND ADD ANY OTHERS YOU MIGHT KNOW OF <3 <3

WOOKIEEPEDIA. The source of anything and everything you want to know related to Star Wars. Good for fact-checking, character history, or simply killing time. There is also, of course, the official Star Wars Databank!

STAR WARS GALAXY MAP. A fantastic project that maps the Star Wars galaxy as we know it. Consider donating ( if you can! ) to help keep the site up and running! Also check out W.R. van Hage’s map and the Star Wars Atlas Online Companion.

TIMELINE. While hosted on Wookieepedia, this is nevertheless deserving of its own bullet point. This page provides an approximate timeline with dates of all canon material. You can also filter items, so that it displays only TV episodes, for example, or only books, or only movies! Find the Legends timeline here.

STAR WARS SLANG AND PHRASES. A collection I’ve been keeping of phases, slang, idioms, insults, and more from the Star Wars universe. This also contains a glossary of frequently used terms, such as “refresher” in place of “restroom”. Please feel free to use/share! 

STAR WARS NAME GENERATOR. This is a fun one AND a life saver. You can generate up to 100 Star Wars-sounding names ( first and last! ) with a click.

Alright so everyone knows this GIF, yes? It’s my header image, my Favorite Thing Ever ©️ (insert that Markiplier video: I think about this every day. I think about this all night long. I stay awake, NOT SLEEPING, because I’m thinking about This).

Cody: one of the cuy’val dar said my body is a weapon, and I took that literally

And yes, Cody is the focus here. As he well should be. But look at Obi-Wan in the background for a minute. It’s a little hard to see, let me zoom and slow it down in for you.



THAT BEHIND THE BACK BLOCK THOUGH. LIKE SIR YOU ARE SO EXTRA AND IT IS KILLING ME. PLEASE NEVER STOP
