My favourite catch phrase of hers would have to be "don't listen to your jerkbrain"*. I love it so much I embroidered it so I can look at it and remind myself of it every day.<br /><br /><a href="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3714/13633918785_a10c31b1f6_h.jpg"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3714/13633918785_a10c31b1f6_h.jpg" width="100%" /></a><br />(click for full-size)<br /><br />I chose to leave the ends messy in the back and showing through. It seemed an appropriate representation of my jerk brain always lurking just below the surface.<br /><br />Lettering I got from the <a href="http://www.stitchpoint.com/eng/tool/alph/cross-stitch-writing-tool.php#">cross stitch alphabet tool</a>, and the border is taken from <a href="http://www.bookdepository.com/Blackwork-Made-Easy-Lesley-Wilkins/9781844487530">Blackwork Made Easy</a>.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">( </b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://aquaprofunda.dreamwidth.org/10362.html#cutid1">detail</a></b><b class="cut-close"> )</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />* I realised at the end of the project that I'd made it "jerk brain" instead of the Captain's "jerkbrain". Not too bothered as it's for me and I always mentally think of it as "jerk brain".<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=aquaprofunda&ditemid=10362" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2011-03-04:704382:8640Embroidery project: You're Superb2014-02-08T01:54:00Z2014-02-09T00:38:10Zpublic9<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/76807306@N00/12374546393/in/photostream/"><img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2807/12374546393_5913575d86.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I have a friend who loves <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superb_fairy_wren">superb fairy wrens</a>.

So for Christmas, I made them a crocheted lap blanket that I've been working on for a chunk of the year.<br /><br />Now I've given it, I can post about it! Yay!<br /><br />I used a basic stripe pattern, two row colour bands with 3xDC clusters, and a SC border.<br /><br />Obviously Morgan loves it too.<br /><br /><a href="http://ravel.me/aquaprofunda/oc1os">View on Ravelry here!</a><br /><br /><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3709/11617612396_c9e229f79d_n.jpg" /> <img src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5481/11617132373_d8c42319e2_n.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=aquaprofunda&ditemid=8282" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2011-03-04:704382:8158Embroidery project: Love Your Work2013-12-07T03:31:37Z2013-12-07T03:33:20Zpublic12I can finally post about it because I've finally gifted this present!<br /><br /><a href="http://instagram.com/leestain">Lee Stain</a> of Inktricate tattoos gave me an incredible piece over 6 months this year.

A trip to officeworks and a play around with sticker templates later, and we have our own stash to stick around. <br /><br />Obviously, the best places to stick them are on mirrors in women's bathrooms and in changing rooms. I personally reckon the best position is in a corner where a typical warning sticker would go - also that way it's less likely to be noticed/removed :)<br /><br />If you'd like to duplicate it too, here are the templates and the specs: <span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">( </b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://aquaprofunda.dreamwidth.org/4781.html#cutid1">Read more...</a></b><b class="cut-close"> )</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="licence"><a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/deed.en_US"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc/3.0/88x31.png" /></a><br /><span xmlns:dct="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" property="dct:title">WARNING stickers</span> by <a xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#" href="http://aquaprofunda.dreamwidth.org/4781.html" property="cc:attributionName" rel="cc:attributionURL">Emily Turner</a> is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/deed.en_US">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License</a>.</div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=aquaprofunda&ditemid=4781" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2011-03-04:704382:3098Self-portraiture2012-01-29T13:36:54Z2012-01-29T13:38:25Zpublic5<div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/76807306@N00/6781957829/" title="Self portrait January 30 by aquaprofunda, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7146/6781957829_bf8b4ca12d_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Self portrait January 30"></a></div><br /><br />I've had self-portraiture on the mind for a while. In part because I want to photograph people but suck at working the dynamic between photographer and subject. In part because I love the dynamic of the photographer <em>being</em> the subject.<br /><br />And a big part because I've been following the images of self-portrait photographers such as <a href="http://yowayowacamera.com/">Natsumi Hayasha</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joeribosma/">Joeri Bosma</a>, and feeling deep awe and envy over their work.<br /><br />So. I'm going to try and do more self-portraiture. I'm going to aim to do at least one a month, if not one a week. I'm breaking out my old point-and-shoot digicam because I think it'll suit this better than my phone will. Though I'm not limiting myself to photography for this. <br /><br />I'd love to see any other favourite self-portraiture artists you're a fan of - share?<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=aquaprofunda&ditemid=3098" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
