Good day and welcome to The Grind and Bind Art Alchemist's Guild.

This is a dark place.

Most art will leave you feeling inspired, maybe even joyful — if not a little thoughtful. Not this art.

Most art makes people better, but this place can only make you worse, poorer, stained, and consumed by the craft.

All flavors are welcome to:

Be kind

Do onto others with kindness, curiosity and civility.

Please include images

Remember to attribute other's work, tag NSFW and Content Warnings if necessary, and describe with alt text for our differently sighted pals.

No AI*

This isn't a community for AI *unless you've built it yourself and trained it on your own work.

Tags are Optional

Make 'em up if you need 'em.

On Self-Promotion

We all need to put food in the ferret bowl, but let's not talk money here. If someone asks to buy something, please take it to DMs.

!artmarket@lemmy.world and !artshare@lemmy.world are geared toward self promotion if you want to cross-post.

I'm not a shill and this isn't an advertisement.

I was put off by the fact that you have to make an account on Ravelry to see anything, which is why it took me so long to start using it.

But it really is the best archive of patterns and advice for literally everyone. It's community-driven with I don't even know how many folks sharing patterns for free, with whole active forums to ask any question, and ways to organize favorites.

I know I sound like a shill. I just fucking love ravelry.

Amazing, thank you. I should have included some screenshots! I mainly use it for patterns, and I'm novice at best, so I didn't even know about searching for local fibres. Definitely searching that now.
