This seems incredibly precarious but somehow Bhreacain is fine here.
A sleeping cat on two stacked tuffets. The top one is at a rakish angle, and the cat is significantly to the downslope side, with his butt hanging off the edge. Mysteriously he has not slid off.

Clementine uses her leaves to photosynthesise after she buries herself underground 🌿🌞 To keep player wait-time short, I wanted her to surface quickly after being interacted with. I also made sure it blends into her looping idle animation #b3d #Blender #Creature #indiegame #oc #art #noGenAI

Reminded by FB of the handmade birthday card I drew in 2017 with a view of Ely cathedral from the upper floor of Toppings bookshop. #HandmadeCard #pencil #watercolour #drawing #ArtShare
A partly coloured drawing of bookshelves flanking a window, a circular table and two stools. On the table is a small vase of flowers and a pile of books. The tower of a cathedral can be seen through the window which is left uncoloured.

Got to make invitations for a family celebration and 1) yay new skills and knowledge in inkscape, krita, and USPS postcard regulations but 2) this was my free time for two weeks and it's not that impressive looking. I'm kinda bummed about the evident inability to do new things after work in a day.

The same painting as in the above post, photographed with a penny and one of the traditional Chinese brushes used to paint it. The penny is roughly comparable in size to the wren's head.

Nearly the end of the month and I've been meaning to share some of my silly comics on this page. So here's how I celebrated #Kaijune in 2020--contemplating what a humongous jumping spider really means when they're such itty bitty guys.
A darkened office with a crate and computer backlit by a large misty yellow glowing window. A military officer addresses a scientist.
Officer: Progress?
Scientist: Sir. We've successfully increased the subject's body mass by over five thousand percent.
Officer: That's promising.The military man taps on the glass.
Officer: How sure are we that this glass will hold it?
Scientist: Errrrr...
The scientist is crouched to open the pet-carrying crate that was sitting on the filing cabinet in the same room. There is a large arthropod leg visible in the shadows of the carrier.A fuzzy dark brown jumping spider with shiny green eyes and iridescent blue chelicerae (what I fondly call fang cozies) sits, filling the top of a tan cat tree in a green room, a feather toy hanging below it while a brown tabby paw with cream mitten coloring reaches up to bat at one of the spider's legs hanging over the edge. A voice from off screen is talking.
Scientist: ...well how was I to know he's an arachnophobe? Yeah, no, the new liaison is ready to go through with funding. But the scream haunts me.

I spun my First Three Rolags Ever™ into this not-quite-a-gradient stormy sunset skein! It's about 55 yards, chain-plied, and varies between 40 and 20 wpi outside extra textured bits. It's still unwashed and unknown colorfastness and I'm not sure what kind of project will get this semi-loud splash.

The little single-hand-carder batt was the most familiar form factor (and my least favorite mix), so I spun it up in a familiar way to test out the new spindle and practice drafting with silk bits mixed in--they're just a little trickier than when my recycled yarn isn't fully carded. ~170yds 4-ply
A reddish wooden Russian style supported spindle with a metal tip, wrapped in a teal singles with many splashes of other vibrant colors and white.A reddish wooden spindle laid on a closed notebook next to a small skein of thin plied yarn, teal with many pieces of contrasting color including a tangle of lime green silk threads. The yarn skein is an open loop to show more of the varied areas.A reddish wooden spindle laid on a brown notebook next to a tiny, colorful skein of plied yarn, twisted and folded back on itself to be about one third the length of the spindle.

The most important #hhff photos first--the critters! As I said, I only took photos of the lambs yesterday; today, I heard their fellow icelandic sheep that I'd thought was an adult was only ten weeks old? If it is a teen, its constant search for snacks makes all the more sense.
A baby sheep with curly dark brown wool, eating grass while a hand reaches out to pet it. The lamb's body is about two hand-lengths long.Two equally small dark brown lambs eating grass and clover in the shade. The one in the background is investigating whether it likes the crunch of a dried leaf; the answer was no and it instead proceeded to methodically eat all the clover flowers one by one. The one in the foreground was focused on grass itself.A white with black patches icelandic sheep in a temporary pen, sniffing to see if any feed had bounced into the crook of a tree root. One of the sheep's horns is broken with purple salve treating it.A dark brown llama (my guess from ear shape) with shaggy bangs style, like an aloof emo band member.

Bluesky continues to reject my posts with photos on mobile, so no evidence to share yet but the first day of #hhff yesterday was lovely! Social crafting time was a highlight, meeting and chatting with those attendees as well as my covolunteers. I only took photos of baby Icelandic sheep, though.

Another piece from a few years ago whose generally lukewarm reception was rather unequal to my own fondness for it. 🥲Perhaps because of the subject? Garden snail (_Cornu aspersum_), approximately 105 x 60 mm. Watercolour on vintage J Whatman paper from 1940. #Invertefest

Next person I text after 5-10 years of silence better not respond or I'll be so spoiled. (Reached out to a friend from high school after seeing them in a crowd in February, then unthinkingly sent a meme to a work friend before realizing we hadn't texted since 2021. Grateful to both for answering.)
