Ladies of Steampunk

Their confidence is contagious. They are fiercely positive about their self-image. Because self is a construct, a fusion between history and fantasy, with props like classic motor vehicles and steam locomotives - putting the steam into steampunk, as it were. The visual tone ranges from spicy to quirky. Expect hats and parasols. Goggles and gears. Top hats and high tea. Parasols and petticoats. Whimsical fairy wings. Fans and feathers. Most of the accessories are beautifully made. Most posts are from photo shoots and steam punk events.

Friendly Horse Questions

One of the greatest benefits of social media communities, is the way it lends access to shared wisdom. Take horse ownership for example. You might think you know the basics, you might even have a few textbooks on your shelf, but then your mare throws you a curved ball. And it might seem too trivial (and expensive) to raise with your vet. You don't know whether to be concerned or not. For Friendly horse-related questions, this group might have your back. A fair number of questions concern correctly aging a new purchase - which means dental shots. There are also weight gain tips for rescue horses or workouts for plump ponies. Find confidence in how to raise issues with your farrier or vet. Get advice on how to restore an old saddle, which wound spray to buy and strategies for combating thrush. I liked the current cover image (but obviously this might be subject to change).

Slow Stitch With Perfect Imperfection

Mistakes happen. Accidents can be salvaged. All it takes is a pinch of creativity. There is an energetic thread that runs from square to square, drawing the eye to follow needle paths that seem both intuitive and meditative. We are talking embellishments that brighten up everyday garments. Garments redesigned to carry a personal signature of the wearer. Threads that draw disparate elements together. Mending hacks that become wearable art. Challenges and solutions, woven together. Follow works in progress until they become upcycled masterpieces. In this group it is possible to find beauty and innovation in the simplest things.
