Finally after month of intense procrastination I made another #yubinuki It’s a gift for a friend who loves to sew. It’s far from perfect… that’d probably take a lifetime of practice.

A yubinuki - a ring made of paper core wrapped in fabric and covered with yarn. The differently colored threads go zick zack and create a geometric pattern.

Visited the #SamuraiMuseum here in Berlin For some reason those warriors were very much into nipple piercings and beards… well it was CSD yesterday. So maybe I draw the wrong conclusions.

Turquoise and apricot samurai armour with a horned helm, a masked face and fluffy white beard—decorated with two rings the breastplate, well nipple piercings

I didn’t know the #Futurium had a skywalk and the sky did not disappoint.

At the the roof of the Futurium. A white walk-around and black solar panels. The sky looks dramatic with dark clouds building up. Minutes later it startet to rain.

Black solar panels at the white rooftop of the Futurium. The sky at this moment is perfect simpsonesque - blue with little cumulus clouds. Minutes later the turned to shades of grey.

For some reason someone at the Berlin #Technikmuseum thought: the way to the toilets could use a little more drama.

Fairly dark hall at the Berlin Technikmuseum with dramatic lights. A spotlight points at the sign for ladies, gents and disabled bathroom.

When early morning commute feels like like traveling through the night #berlin #streetphotography #blackandwhite #bhf_friedrichstrasse

View through the glass-steel-framework of S-Bahn station Berlin Friedrichstraße at the office buildings behind it. Windows dark and lit create a weave of light and night.

I can‘t help but think that President Dump and his evil muppets are an US American autoimmune desease. The society went from chronically stressed to allergic to harmless things (e.g. women‘s right, gay marriage, trans people) to self destruction.

Is there an unwritten rule? On a train you have to have smelly food e.g. boiled eggs, cheese sandwiches, crisps with the most bizarre or intense flavours. A vocal baby or toddler is also essential just like nagging couples. #ThankYouForTraveling #DeutscheBahn

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France.
So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness.
There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time.
Good luck, and love as always
K

That „bridge“ over #Berlin #Hauptbahnhof (Main station) serves postapocalyptic doom. May watching #Fallout influences my perception #urban #photography

Mistigram: happy #Caturday! This is another one of @lockja.bsky.social 's weekly #ASCIIart celebrations of the feline, from the sacred to the profane. This piece, a species of summer trip to the beach, was included in the new #cat -themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

A housecat, totally consumed by its earth-moving efforts, obliviously kicks errant grains of litter out of its box.

Your daily commute definitely improves when @christophniemann.bsky.social creates art at the train station.

Mistigram: the new, cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection contains, unsurprisingly, rather a lot of cats, illustrated in vintage computer art formats. Here are several samples depicting cats famous and obscure, drawn in #ANSIart, #ASCIIart and #PETSCII.

Mistigram: partway along the process of stocking the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection, Mozz brought our attention to @lockja.bsky.social , who posts original #ASCIIart cat shenanigans on BlueSky every #Caturday. (Indeed, we just reposted this week's!)

Somehow, this dang cat has got the top drawer open again, and they're making biscuits in the clean laundry while giving us the brown-eyed wink.
