16 frame shooting star animation. January 2022-September 2024 Needlepoint
Frames from my shooting star gif. 16 frames total. Each frame is 8x6.5 inches on a 10” mesh. Designed and animated in photoshop and needlepointed by me. I started drafting this 1/14/22 and finished animating it 9/25/24. It took approximately two years and eight months to finish. This is one of the largest projects I’ve ever worked on and I’m very happy with how it turned out.
Do we have any advice for the young trans woman besides yelling “start hrt” at her
be really really consistent with self gendering - it may feel weird at first but use your nouns - “ I’m his sister”, “ I’m her daughter”, “ I’m an actress” - don’t start with “bitch”
remember that every feminist principle you hold for cis women ALSO extends to you as a trans woman; and that there is no right or wrong way to be a woman, only expectations imposed on us by people we have no obligation to perform for. also, genuinely: have fun and be yourself, experiment and grow and reflect and look weird sometimes, but find joy in finding what it all means to you. you’ve got nothing you need to be and can take it wherever you wanna go 👍🏾
