@quixoticgeek 🧵 material you could need for repairing, it was the norm of living dozens of years ago!In our farmhouse museum, we show people how everything was repaired and material collected to have parts for repairing. Our conservators do the same: we have cupboards full of old screws from the rubbish – because the sizes for historical objects are no longer manufactured. People who collect/donate such materials help us to maintain our exhibition pieces.And people with Kondo-houses can't

A1: Hello! I am Matt, a cosplayer and maker in the Chicago area. This week was DRAGON CON. I brought two costumes and zero wigs, and had a fantastic time. The highlights of the weekend were the Cosmere photo shoot, the Tolkien photo shoot, and meeting up with the person who commissioned me to build the Arwen crown and the Aragorn bracers. I attended a ton of panels, including one about building fursuits. I don't necessarily plan on building one per se, but many of the techniques this community have developed are applicable to other sorts of costumes. #MakersHour @makershour
