That's it for me for #artAdventCalendar 2025. Thanks to all 630 of you who participated. We finish with over 8500 images with 97% AltText usage. That's remarkable. Know that you made a difference to someone in the last 24 days. Sam approves.

One of my favorite poems in needlepoint calligraphy. Needlepoint calligraphy with a Zebra G nib Ink is Robert Oster Lake of Fire fountain pen ink. #ArtAdventCalendar

The poem I Walked a Mile by Robert Browning Hamilton in needlepoint calligraphy. The fountain pen ink is dark blue with red undertones.

I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chatted all the way;
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow;
And ne’er a word said she;
But, oh! The things I learned from her,
When Sorrow walked with me.

Rabbit Season 🩵

Two anthropomorphic furry rabbits holding hands against an abstract white blizzard background. One rabbit is black and tan, with a blue shawl and black skirt. The other is pale white and tan, with an orange and yellow diamond patterned shawl and tan pants. They both have a medieval vibe in their clothing.

Calligraphy of a poem called Red Ink by Lostling

Done with a stub nib in Robert Oster Lake of Fire a blue ink

Black and blue marks
On my arm—
Ink, of course. What else?
Words, thoughts, feelings, fears
Written, smudged, then erased.
Leftover streaks,
They wash away
With a smidge of soap and water.
And yet…
I can’t help but remember
When I wrote
With mechanical pencils
And staple bullets
Instead of ballpoint pens
And gel ones.
When I watched the ink,
A gorgeous shade of rubies,
Trickle
Down to my wrist
Like a rivulet of lava.
Now, the fire has long faded
Leaving white ashes
That won’t come off

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

The last panel I went to at #PAXU was about world building for avoiding narrative railroading. It was a super interesting discussion and really inspired me to start getting back to writing for my world. No matter how much I want to run some #TTRPG sessions or write stories I can't if I don't write.

Remember, Tolkien didn't start working on "The Hobbit" until he was 41 years old. It started as tales for his children that took over 4 years to complete, and he finally published it at the age of 45. It is never too late to start working on something that truly calls to you. Embrace your passion.
