    Oh, this took me back. Like way back! In the early 70s I used to help my dad by sorting out resistors, transistors, condensers, and other solid state electronic parts. You captured the colours and designs perfectly. I really appreciate how you translate an ideal into your own fashion style. Very satisfying to watch and challenging to think about. I'm really looking forward to the future bug/beetle works.
    How do you come up with these ideas?

    I like these kinds of bugs. NO OTHER in real life. FYI. I couldn’t tell if you had kids playing/screaming in the background as I have had to put headphones on due to the kids playing screaming outside my townhouse window. Life in the summer. It’s kinds nice to hear the kids playing again. Last couple years they were not outside much.

    "chaton" is the French word for kitten--because of the pointy bottom of the stone, which creates a form that is vaguely the shape of a kitten's head. How appropriate for you! Your sparkly circuit-board beetle is fabulous.

I have been watching your videos; they have inspired, taught, and entertained me. Thank you so much for giving me the tools and confidence to sew again, and now I am drafting my own patterns because of your good work. I really thank you . From Peta in the UK, Wales to be exact. xx

    I love how you know what size your beads are... I've never once seen anything other than "seed bead" listed on any label of any beads I've ever bought (and I've been buying beads for... oh gods, about 40 years now)... so I've got regular seed beads, fat seed beads, too fat to be actual seed beads, and super tiny seed beads in my collection, plus the usual cut beads, bugle beads and other things for embellishments. I never really played with sequins but you're making me want to try. I think my favourite thing I've ever beaded was a necklace that was a silver spiderweb in the ultratiny beads with a black 3d spider in the iridescent ultratiny beads, hanging from a "thread" near the centre of the web, back foot out letting the web out and everything.
    I have a handful of unused little resistors, I think if I ever did a recon beetle I'd figure out how to work their coloured bands into the design concept.

    • @TheClosetHistorian
      @TheClosetHistorian  2 года назад

      They sell them by size on most of the etsy shops I grab beads from I suppose! I really like DIYBeadsStore for example 😍 www.etsy.com/shop/DiyBeadsStore I would love to use real resistors and such, I need to find some inexpensive salvage 😂
