soc_puppetDear self,
No, posting over at![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
queerly_beloved still doesn't count as posting over here. Maybe you should think about cross-posting?
Yours,

In other news, I'm finally getting some work done on a creative project I've been planning for a while: Ocean in a Jar. It starts with a large, clear plastic jar (cylindrical for preference); add in one crocheted mermaid, two to four crocheted sea creatures (dolphin, stingray, octopus, maybe turtle?), and an ocean play mat (two fat quarters sewn back-to-back (corners rounded off, lace around the edges), to look like a little patch of ocean/water, so the mermaid and friends are never stuck on dry land). Optional: Glue some sandy-colored fabric to the top/outside of the jar lid to make a little island.
Mermaid and two of a planned three sea creatures are finished; the jar still needs to be rinsed out and attacked with Goo Gone, and then I can make the lid an island; the play mat is cut and pinned together and just needs to be sewn. Once it's done, the plan is to donate it to a local worker justice group for their ten year anniversary silent auction fundraiser thing. I hope it does well!

Date: 2022-08-21 03:23 am (UTC)You might like these as well, then! (I have a full spice rack set of them, of which one third are regrettably themed after the Harry Potter houses, and I have no idea what to do with it. Can I morally sell it? To whom? What would I do with the money? I don't just want to throw it away, either, but I've literally painted image keys onto the rack itself. Do I need to wait until the transphobic author dies or somehow grows a conscience and starts seeing trans people as people? These are the questions I'm stuck asking myself...)

That's a tough one about what to do with them, though... I've heard of auctions (or just selling) for themed items like these, with the proceeds going to organisations that support trans people? Maybe an option, at some stage.
