       RE: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@samerion/116449844049246024On a more serious note, I do struggle with social anxiety. I've come to realize the worst part is attempting to fight it. Ironically, keeping that fight up drives other people to cut ties with me.But if I stop and listen to this inner voice, I can learn to accept it: "I'm disliked and that's okay." It gives me the motivation to move on. I can focus on relationships that actually matter.RT: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/users/samerion/statuses/116449844049246024

       I'm going to make an embroidery patch of the owl beast (from The Owl House) to put on my bag. I find it works as a metaphor for anxiety, and it can be a reminder for me.

       Cut one thread too short and damaged the thing. Did one eye way too tight and damaged the material. Gonna have to start over… better now than too late.

       Trying again from scratch, but with a proper sketch and starting from the head. Got eyes done first, so I think it should be easier from now on :)

       Except for an absolutely minuscule amount of black thread on the wing, the outline is complete.

       It's a bit funny I got some colored thread *just* for the beak, but the space is so tight I don't think I'm going to use it.

       Got only 3 more colors to fill.Sadly the patch will not be as readable as I'd like it to be, it's hard to match thread colors based on what you can find online, they images you can find are not very accurate.

       Classic blunder: margins too small for fabric this fragile. It might not last very long.

       I'm really happy to see it in the finished form though :) I doubted my color choices for the most of the time I spent making this, but I really like the palette in the end.
