Who actually wants to watch something in a headset 🤕

@@max54623 I do?

I knew a colonial (american revolution) reenactor who did bobbin lacing and tatting and it always fascinated me to watch her, even as a 12 - 15 year old boy. Some day I will have the courage to try it myself!

It really isn't.

@@damascusraven calling women “females” was the first red flag for me xD

@@Nienna_Asyare To be fair, "female" seems like the most appropriate adjective to use here. (I can't really think of another one that works.)

@@sgbench "Women" literally that's it lol

@@Nienna_Asyare "Women" isn't really an adjective

he is slowly becoming the snl of makers lol

They have been married for 6 years.

Their vibe has a bit of Bob Ross to it. Which I am totally here for.

I always heard it as, "The comfort zone is a beautiful place... but nothing grows there." I know it's the same thing in essence but I appreciate it my way since it feels more honest. Being comfortable is a fantastic situation to be in and you'll be happy to live there but you'll accomplish very little besides being comfortable.

@@rolandp.6133 You’re taking what was a glib comment way too seriously; and not only that, you’re completely wrong in your assumptions. There’s a wealth of scientific evidence that suggests that new experiences (i.e being outside of one’s comfort zone) enables one to learn and develop quicker and more efficiently (within that respective skillset). This is the guiding principle of neuroplasticity, where the whole morphology of your brain quite literally changes and adapts to new experiences. In other words, if you keep challenging your brain (within a specific skill), it will reorganise (and even create new) neural-pathways to make you better and more efficient at that skill.

I respectfully disagree. Too often we hear, “you have to leave your comfort zone.” But think about it, when was the last time you really grew? Was it when you felt unsafe (outside your comfort zone), or was it when you pushed your comfort zone but still felt safe enough to move forward? I maintain we do our best work at the very edge of our comfort zone. We are pushing our limitations and we are still in a place we feel safe enough to experiment and play.

@@rolandp.6133 If you had actually watched the video, then you would’ve realised that I was talking about the former and not the latter 0:55. But nah, you just wanted to argue for the same of arguing.

@@rolandp.6133 The point is that what humans find most comfortable is having our hierarchy of needs met. Living inside a safe warm/cool home, with decent food, plenty of things to drink, at least some companionship, and no requirement to exert ourselves beyond what's reasonable. Now, if you want to create something outside of the mundane, it usually, if not always, requires you to go outside where it's cold/hot, take a risk on ruining your dinner by trying new spices or ingredients, you risk pain and injury when learning a new physical skill, or rejection and/or heartache by trying to gain new companionship or romance. Anytime you risk something, you're being pushed out of what most people mean when they say "the comfort zone". Since most people don't find fear and anxiety comfortable. The majority of people don't consider failure or the chance of it pleasant. Pain, either physical or emotional, definitely is not comfortable. So, what are you gaining if you refuse to move outside of your comfort zone? Very little. Almost everything that brings joy comes with the risk of you being uncomfortable in some way. I'd never heard the term "hustle culture" before your comment but that sounds like a lame way to describe what's being said. It's not some gimmicky bullshit, it's just how humans interact with life. If you could, please give an example of something you feel is valued by most people and yet is obtainable without some discomfort? You say obtaining comfort is a human goal that we always strive towards and I agree. We seek comfort, and at no point did I imply that's not a good thing. It's great to exist inside of that comfort zone. (Hense why the expression that I heard that made the most sense to me is, "It's a beautiful place".) You just can't solely exist inside of it, then complain about how you want more out of life than just existing, but do nothing else to obtain it. If you can set up the pieces so that after 30 you can retire, live alone in your home, and just watch TV and surf the internet all day, have right at it. That sounds like bliss. If you do end up doing that, though, after your death, save for a dent in the couch cushion, you won't have much to show for it. You'll have impacted the world in zero new or interesting ways. Almost everyone who knew you would say, "They lived a sad and unfulfilled life". Though were you to do that and be happy, I won't judge you for it but I'm not everyone else. Most people don't feel that time you enjoyed wasting isn't wasted time, as I do. I just want to point out what you'll miss out on, staying exclusively in the comfort zone, though. No wife/husband, that requires effort and putting yourself out there. No kids, see above. No new artwork, you're not going to dig down into yourself deeply enough to pull out something interesting but, don't worry, even if it did exist you would never show it to anyone because it might not resonate with other people. No new crafting, that might make you exert yourself. No new scientific breakthroughs, that requires study of whichever discipline you choose and then patience, training, and constant success (if you want to remain comfortable with doing it). Also, everything you mentioned requires actions that come with risks and/or effort. (Save for maybe the family you were born into, not the one you create, but that is also the definition of comforting.) Therefore they all, again, require an expedition outside of your comfort zone to obtain.

Couple? Are you trying to ship them? Stop.

@@thomgizziz stop w the subtle homophobia

@@thomgizziz they’re literally married dude. Their wedding video is on KZfaq.

My wife and I tried to do some things like this together but it was 15 years ago before videos like these were so easy to come by and before we had much exposure to the matierials these ladies and Adam use regularly, the HDPE foam and stuff like that. the materials we tried with were all wrong and never really amounted to much more than a mess in our crafting room. Watching these three start with nothing and produce such amazing things and then find out those amazing hairpieces are CARDSTOCK AND CHEAP PLASTIC WIGS and Readyboard and PAPER and common cloth and HOT GLUE and a hairdryer and such MUNDANE and SIMPLE supplies to get such AMZING creations just blows my mind!

My experience is that macrame is lace made with bigger yarn. But I’m a knitter and a crochet nerd so it’s just tying your yarn up into knots artistically 😂 Edit so yes to both

It may not be a cosplay channel, but maybe check out some videos on Puppet Nerd’s channel. I believe he’s done some mechanism videos in the past. If not on his channel there might be other puppeteering channels that show how to do something like that

23:23 OHHHH okay, yea seeing the underside changed how i see it now, its not even weaved, its a weird sewing technique. oh wow, okay. I've seen that inside pattern before on some scifi stuff.

I believe the name comes from their cats.

Their first two adopted cats, apparently. Now i know the rest of the story. Good day.

Who cares? It's COSPLAY aka costume play why should it be serious and boring names only?

How is it not a hobby?

@@casperaaron5530 its so much more than a hobby. Closer to an addiction.

Yeah, I think the word hobby diminishes one’s interest. It’s like the difference between the words job and profession. Perhaps we all need a better way to communicate our passions.

@@Voirreydirector the only difference between a hobby and a profession is of you're getting paid for it. Are these ladies getting paid? If so, they are professionals. To the 90% of cosplayers who aren't getting paid it's a hobby.

just you.

to you maybe

@@samjavitch8226 It is to them and not to you... do you think you have any claim on objectivity here? If you didn't think you were right and they are wrong you wouldn't have commented. You aren't in the majority, your average person wouldn't watch this because they have no interest making this video annoying to most of the population.

lol wut?

@@samjavitch8226 And anoter bad hot take by you... smh
