I have also already created very very simple patches out of denim patches.
(Basically I have created more work since I now have to attach them to my clothes but that is fine. -

- I have bought over the last 3-4 years a few patches and it would be really cool if I would finally attach it to a garment. Also I could try to hand sew them on and maybe fix some holes in my fav jeans and reattach a button on my shirt -- i have been wanting to learn how to sew (with hand or machine) and I think this could be a great starting point.
It would also be cool to get into that whole DIY scene of like clothes and stuff. Because I think it looks harder than it actually is. - Finally try to start and finish my "codo project". I have bought a receipt printer and would love to connect it to a Website and sort of use it that whatever you type in the form field on the website it prints on a receipt. Since I suck at coding and have like no clue how to write any API's or anything I think this could also be cool. I have thought about the website's design a lot and I would love to make it look like a terminal. (I have no clue how to do it but yeah, it would be nice TO do it.
- DIY Tattoo - I would love to learn more about this and maybe even do some stick-and-poke tattoos. I already have some plans on what I want to do, but. It probably would be wise to just buy some fake skin and perhaps test it on that. I don't know. I already have a lot of the materials for it since I have a tattoo machine (which I am really scared of since it makes a scary sound).
Also just in general I should start working on my project for school for my graduation. It has been a lot. I have been struggling quite a bit with motivation and energy to do anything. Hmhhh but we will see.
Now I just need to pick one

Hello I hope you all have a good [insert time of Day] !!!
Maybe a bit of background about me:
(25 Age idk if that is relevant, but it could be interesting how other age groups see that)
I really like unique stuff. If it's design or clothes or web design or whatever you might think of. I have been working privately on my own website, and I built it almost from scratch. I really like unique-looking websites, and I also like the 2000s era style of design (not only limited to web-design).I have been noticing a lot of websites that they look more and more the same. The same structure, design, similar colors, similar pictures etc, etc...
And I think this is just very boring and it just feels like more and more the web isn't made for us humans. It feels everything is being more and more optimized either for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) or for AI scrapping. And I feel like being alienated from using the internet (Yes, also sadly that's the case in many other areas).
And I asked some people and what they basically told me is that they like that everything looks the same and everything feels the same. Since they can go on every website and understand the layout and know how to navigate every website.
So I wanted to ask what is your opinion about this topic?
Do you care what the Internet looks like? Do you mind that everything looks same~ier?24 votes -

Even if they are a bit "old". I still like his movies very much. The last movie I have watched of him is Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. But there are many more that are really good of him.
- 2001: A Space Odyssey (there is like a extended cut that is 4hrs long)
- A Clockwork Orange
- The Shining (I haven't watched that for whatever reason I really should watch that one!!!)

Photography is very very much different than drawing or coding. In Coding and drawing you add stuff. But in Photography you remove stuff. In terms of what lens you use or how close / far away you are.
So yaa idk if that answers your questions. But I think I'm only like "qualified" to answer on perspective on photography.
I think doing something different with perspective can make your pictures better. Like for example:
Everyone just takes out their phone and snaps a photo from chest-height.
Even If you are aware of that and just crouch down and take the picture it will look so much more intresting. Or rather it can. -

I guess you can contact me here on tildes or there are more options on my website. Yipiee •⩊•
I guess also some update from my side:
My plan was either to sew to program something. Since I still struggle with motivation and lack of energy I decided that sewing was the easiest and most relaxing option to pick for my project.
I started fixing one of my trousers that had a hole in the back pockets, and my goal was to learn the basics and maybe make some patches.
I did in this week 2 different kind of patches.
All the patches I made this far
So the order in which I created them goes as follows.
Anarchy Patch (bottom left)
I was really struggling with making shapes as you can see it in the arrow. But otherwise it's okay. Also the stitches are quite uneven and look kind of messy. For anyone interested, the stitch I used is called cross-stitch.
The Eye (top left)
The dot in the middle is called a french-knot and is quite cool to do. It adds like texture to the eye which I like a lot :3. I really really don't like the "eyebrows" at the top. Otherwise it looks okay.
Partial Shark (bottom right)
First time in doing the satin stitch and trying to fill out a space. It's not perfect and the threads in some cases are a bit loose but I'm pretty happy with it overall. Also I am still not sure if filling out a whole area and then doing the detail on top is better or first doing the detail and then filling out the surrounding area. I am not sure what looks better. And I still need to try that.
Whole Shark (top right)
Pleased with it. The thread isn't as loose as in the partial shark. Also I think the coverage is overall a bit better but still not perfect. The stitches are better structured, and I quite like that I arranged the bottom fin that the thread is going sideways and the overall body of the shark is going up and down. I messed up the eye which is a detail, and you can't really see it, but oh well. Stuff happens.
I ordered a embroidery hoop and my plan is to stitch on some fabric that I have yet to buy. I have been only sewing on those jeans patches which are a bit of a pain. They are quite tough and currently my fingers really hurt because pushing through the needles with 6 threads can become quite tough + I am just not used to the work and ya.
But it could be worse.
But overall it's been pretty fun.
That's about it.
That's all.
Over and out.
