I have so many thoughts.

More fiddling with my #watercolor experiments. Added where the colours sit on the gamut solid, and what they are. Ran it through a shader to make it look more like watercolour itself, and put it on a white background. All to avoid working on the app’s marketing.

A little bit obsessed with these visualisations of reachable colour in #watercolor sets.

I wanted to visualise the colours that commonly available #watercolour palettes are able to reach (part of a feature I'm working on for my app Undertint). For fun, I've made a tool to compare them side-by-side. I think they're rather lovely in their own right. justin.stach.uk/palette-spac...

The image shows a 3d solid representing the colours that the Holbein 24 colour Artist's Watercolours Set can reach. It is irregular and rainbow-coloured.

Playing with a new feature for Undertint: does my palette enable me to be paint a desired range of colours.

Here’s what that looks like at both the low and high end for English and Welsh constituencies from the last election. There are no Tory constituencies where more than half of the voters have a HE qualification. From docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

This is such a joy of a book for Beatles fans. Obsessively deep analysis of their work. It occupies a similar place in my heart as @andrewhickey.500songs.com’s work.

The cover of the paperback ‘Revolution in the Head’ by Ian MacDonald.

This morning’s deep dive into ‘I Want You (She’s So Heavy). A photo of the pages inside the book.

Fresh from the oven, and still crackling.

Happy with this one. Trying something new with the rim of the dish.

Six very irregular sake cups, or egg cups if that’s what takes your fancy. These were me trying to throw very small things consistently. They are small at least.

Bit more Saturday baking. This time @nigella.bsky.social’s Mini Pavolvas with my youngest. These lasted nearly all of 30mins.

Accidentally poured some very hot water over my starter earlier in the week and was worried that I’d killed it. Apparently not. Tough little fucker.

Sir, this is a toilet.

I mean look at this, it’s even featuring the 1980s Milk Tray packaging.

Just finished. Heartbreaking and wonderfully provocative. Thank you.

I wasn’t expecting to be making blackberry jam in the middle of July, but the bushes were stuffed with very ripe berries so who am I to argue.

Bohem lager on tap at my local. Oh no…

A pint of very cold, very nice beer on a table in partial shade. If it could speak it would whisper, ‘drink me’.

What's the @figma.com community like on here? I've been scratching an itch about wanting more precision on gradients so created a plugin for control freaks like me. It's definitely not for everyone, but if this is your sort of thing it's free and I'd love feedback. www.figma.com/community/pl...

Messing around with lids. Not really sure what these are meant to be, but kind of digging the more organic forms. #pottery

Mini project. Photographing each of the pages in these notebooks of my grandmother. Particularly like the cover of that 7p W.H. smith notepad for shorthand/schools/reporters.

More pottery. Practicing making my pots more similar. I’m not so keen on the shape of these but they’re pretty close to one another size-wise.

How do brands still get this naming so badly wrong? If you're explaining how to pronounce the new name, this is going to be a painpoint for your sales/marketing team in audio ads, and a painpoint for your support teams when they're guiding people to online material.

Seed and oats, making my dream come true. I’m very lucky to have kids that love a) crusts and b) proper bread.
