G'Day

[Hutch]

Hello fellow Sander-fans. I've been a long-time fan, and now am a first-time poster as I wanted to answer someone's question.

So, I've finally made an account.

I look forward to interacting with you all rather than just lurking.

Cheers

[Telrao she/her]

G'day, Hutch!

Welcome mate! Who’s your favourite of Sanderson’s characters? 

Also, same question as Telrao

Spoiler

Are you by any chance a fellow Aussie? If so our numbers are expanding. Mwahahahahahaha! If not, well just ignore those last couple sentences . Welcome to the Shard!

 

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Welcome, Hutch! It's good to meet you!

Spoiler

Okay, I'm curious too... are you part of the Aussie infestation?

 

[Edema Rue she/her]

Hi!! Happy to have here!

Spoiler

Don’t worry, not all of us are Aussies, so if you’re just a normal human who goes to bed at a normal time, fear not! All is well!

Hello, hutch! What do you like to do?

 

[Hutch]

Hey there friends, I am indeed an Aussie and happy to be here.

I've read all the published Cosmere works, except for the Secret Projects (they're on the way) and I'm currently half-way through White Sand. 

In terms of favourite characters, I liked reading Hrathen, Eshonai, Sixth of the Dusk, and Silence. I enjoy Brandon's ability to completely shift voice between characters. 
I also enjoy unpicking all the little hints and offhand comments that illustrate the grand mechanics behind everything. 

I've just started learning machine embroidery so I'm digitising and sewing some Cosmere flavoured designs.

Great to meet you all, and thanks for the warm welcome. Pop by for a cuppa and a Tim Tam any time.

[Veledsier]

Awesome! I'll take you up on that!

YESSSS, ANOTHER ONE! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! ahem… cool! The other Australian Sharders that I know of include: myself, @Telrao, @Werewolff Studios and a moderator who goes by the name of Voidus who may not appreciate us pinging them for a random reason.

Hrathen is one of my most favourite (shh grammar) characters too!

That’s incredibly awesome! You should make an art thread and share your designs with us!

I'm glad to be part of a growing movement to Australianise the fandom.

I'll share some thread art on an art thread when I've got something worth sharing. I'm still very much learning.

[shortcake thr/eat ka/boom]

how exciting! do you like doing any other art-related things, or is it just embroidery?

Spoiler

I've done embroidery before, man it's quite relaxing. that is, up until you stab you thumb a bajillion times  lol

 

[Hutch]

It's machine embroidery, so if thumb stabbing was to occur I'd have to have done something fairly wrong. It's mostly digital drawing in an embroidery software (which is a learning curve indeed) and then watching to see if the thread snags or snaps (or you accidentally have the garment folded and it embroiders itself together ).

Other than that, I'm not super creative. I do make pipe organ covers of different kinds of music on YouTube. Movies, TV shows, video games, pop songs, or anything else that takes my fancy (or is requested). You can check them out here if you'd like: www.youtube.com/c/GHutchOrgan

What about yourselves Cinnamon, shortcake, and Veledsier: are you creative types? 

[Veledsier]

Yes! Song writer, regular writer, fantasy world map artist, and cosplay outfit maker!

I’m a Lightweaver (according to the KRO quiz) so how could I not be! I love the performing arts, mainly theatre but I also am trying to teach myself to draw and I make a lot of stickers .

My good sir, did you say Pipe Organ covers? That’s awesome! I will check them out now

That's awesome. I can't seem to create anything new, so I rearrange other's music and redesign their art into embroidery. I'm very jealous of those such as yourself who can create something new of their own.

I love a good bit of musical theatre myself.

Enjoy the music, hopefully I've covered something you like

Creating covers is a gift! You make something new out of something old. I'd say that's pretty awesome
