haha Yasssss! Love to see it 💜

I wanted to do a quick experiment, and it turned into a bit of a painting nightmare. The paint and gold leaf wouldn't take. But I managed to save it, and I'm happy with how these two girls turned out. #MtG #alter #art #painting

Testprint of CARPUNKS, the very much work in progress little miniatures skirmish game I'm working on. So cool to have something to flip through :) Now, time for testing. Also, first time making my own zine. Feels good ✌️

Yeah, I'm on my way out. Still looking though for a new platform with a decent customer base to replace Etsy.

I wish I had time to paint more often. Working on this was such a joy.

Oh.my.gosh...I won @jdawson001.bsky.social 's giveaway and expected 1 or 2 books. Instead, I got a care package that will get me through winter and then some 💜 This made my day. Really excited to get started on Murderbot. Thank you!!! You're too kind, Jennifer!

I had to change my fun plans because my body and mind weren't cooperating. Went for lunch and a walk instead with @maartnboot.bsky.social, who has the patience of an angel.

They all knew, did nothing and looked the other way. Others joked about it. Ghosted victims. It's disgusting. Only when the allegations go public they take a stance.

"Former HarperCollins employees alleged they were told to work with David Walliams, 54, in “pairs” and were advised not to visit his home." It makes me so angry how common this is. Experienced it first hand, being told "not to be alone with _" and seeing how that celeb is protected by the industry.

Changed a MtG Thrummingbird into a thrummingfrog for my frog deck. Such a chill dude. #mtg #alter #art

I have a Commander deck entirely made of frogs, except for a few essential cards. So my plan is to alter and frogify them 🐸 First up: Thrummingbird! #mtg #alter #art

My partner @maartnboot.bsky.social made a riot proxy standard deck and I'm still in awe so I share it on his behalf. Very tough to play against though!

The switch to work AND rainy weather is rough for me. But then there are Orri tangerines and the countdown to Halloween keeping my spirits up.

Thank you 🌞 I'm reading up on the documents and waiting for Brussels to reply on the micro-business matter. It's a hassle but also thinking about maybe shifting to local markets and galleries? An online shop was so easy though 😅

Nicolele @nic0lele.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

I was about to reboot my shop with new prints and paintings. But then the import tariffs happened, and yesterday the #PPWR regulations. Throw in some exploitative AI on top of that...it's so f'ing bleak for artists. So my shop's closed until further notice 💔

Mental stability? In this economy? Dolphin and stars.

I also dabble in sewing. I needed shorts for the summer. It took me all day, but now I have shorts in beautiful blue linen that fit perfectly.

I'm back from vacation, missing the beach already. But I'm also very much looking forward to painting, sewing, and baking for the next two weeks. Creativity is pouring out now that I finally have some free time.
