Went for a hike in Soldiers’ Delight Natural Environment Area yesterday with @vexedmuddler.bsky.social. This area is a “serpentine barrens”—an area where the usual central Maryland vegetation does not grow well owing to unusual soil chemistry, leading to a prairie grassland-oak savanna environment.

Photo of a gravelly trail passing through a field of short grass, with only a few trees in evidence.

Photo of the exposed serpentine rock, which is part of an older oceanic plate pushed up some 450 million years ago, around the time the Appalachians were formed.

A look up the rocky trail later in the evening when the light started to get that golden-hour glow. The leaves of one of the native oaks can be seen overhead at center.

A setting sun illuminates a field of (mostly) native sedges and wildflowers. Invasives are a problem everywhere, but only certain plants can adapt well to the unusual soil in this area.

Also here’s a recent one that I’m very proud of, not least because I designed the polish for the background! I named the polish “Soup, Goliath, Albireo” because I am good at naming things. The art depicts the inspo: microbial soup, a Goliath beetle, the double/triple/maybe quad star Albireo

A close up of 4 fingers on my left hand. The background of each nail is a murky teal polish with green-turquoise shifting magnetic pigment and pink/orange green shifting iridescent flakes. Atop that I hand-painted a variety of colourful bacteria on my pinkie and ring nail, and the majority of a black and white Goliath beetle on my middle nail, with its blue- purple wings spreading across my index and a bit of my ring nail.

A close-up of my thumb nail with the same base polish, but I blobbed in a bit of purple to make it look extra-spacey. I used a dotting too to dot on some simple stars, and then hand-painted the two visible components of Albireo (an optical binary): the smaller blueish star and the larger orange star, which is itself a binary star.

It’s just been browns to me attention that I haven’t posted here in at least a month. As it’s Pride month, let’s have some rainbows, shall we? Here are a few recent manicures I’ve worn.

A close-up of 4 nails on my left hand. They have been planted with a collection of milky white polishes that contain different colours of holographic glitters. I blob-brushed them on in two layers, using the different glitter colours to create a roughly diagonal gradient of 3-4 shades across each nail, which combine to create a rainbow across the full hand.

Another close-up of 4 fingers on my left hand. This time the background is painted in a mottled dark blue and green, and there’s a neon rainbow of Kodama spirits painted on top.

A shot showing all 5 nails on my left hand. Each nail is painted with a translucent white polish containing a rainbow mix of glitters. Around the perimeter of each nail, I painted a thin rainbow line. On the tip of each nail there is a silhouette of one or two cat heads, in rainbow order across the nails, and above there a rainbow of paw prints, outlined in white.

Another shot of all 5 nails on my left hand. This time they’re painted in an opalescent pale grey (almost white) polish packed with subtle iridescent flakes. On each nail I used a nail stamping plate to stamp one mermaid tail on each nail. Each tail is a gradient rainbow of holographic polishes, using 3-5 polishes per tail. I also hand-painted little rainbow bubbles above and around them.

There were still flowers to be found in the desert last week. Left to right: Woolystar (Eriastrum sp.), Desert Calico (Loeseliastrum matthewsii), Paperbag Bush (Scutellaria mexicana), and buckwheat (Eriogonum, not sure which species). 🌿🌸

A closeup photo of a wildflower called desert calico, against a background of desert sand and out of focus flowers of the same kind. The flower is speckled dark pink and red with more white toward the center. The few petals are ruffled and reminiscent of butterfly wings; long white stamens are tipped in yellow pollen.

A photo of a stem ending in two flowers, flanking an unopened bud in the center, against a blue-sky and clouds background. The buds are inflated and reddish pink; the flowers, which resemble salvia flowers, are white at the base, becoming pale lavender above and dark purple below.

Giant leopard moth mani? Giant leopard moth mani! Hand painted in nail polish, as usual, because I enjoy suffering.

A photo of my left hand with all nails facing the camera. Distributed across all but my pinkie nail, I have painted (parts of) a giant leopard moth against a pale, frosty, sparkly green background.

A close-up of the thumb nail, on which I have painted the moth’s thorax, head, and first pair of legs. It’s mostly fluffy white with touches of grey. The spots on the thorax are a rich dark blue encircled by black. The legs are black with white and blue markings, and the antennae are black with a touch of blue.

A close up of the other 4 nails. In this position it becomes clear that the index, middle, and ring finger nails when lined up depict the abdomen and wings of the moth. The wings are partially spread, just enough to reveal flashes of orange and blue in the abdomen on the middle nail. The wings themselves spread across the index and ring nails, white with stark black spots and rings. The white is softened with a bit of grey shadow hinting at the venation.

Did I forget to post my Artemis II nails that I did last week? Oops. I did them during a live stream on my YouTube channel. Someone in chat requested I include Artemis the cat from Sailor Moon so obviously he had to go on my thumb.

A close up of 4 fingers on my left hand. All are painted with a black nail polish with silver holographic flecks as the base. My index nail features the Orion capsule with solar panels splayed. The far side of the moon spans the tips of my middle, ring, and pinkie finger, and on my ring finger nail the earth is visible, halfway risen beyond the lunar surface.

Only @drawfeeshow.com fans will understand this reference but I I had to give myself a Trans Rig mani for Trans Day of Visibility. Hand painted with nail polish as always - I did this one on a live stream so if you’re so inclined you can watch the VOD at www.youtube.com/live/ACQn3w0...

A close up photo of 4 of my fingernails. They’re painted with a shimmery blue sky and simple mottled green for grass and trees, with a silver holo road trailing off into
the distance on my pinkie. In the foreground I’ve painted a big rig truck spanning my index, middle, and ring finger nails. The cab is white with silver holo accents. The trailer is painted like the trans flag - long horizontal stripes of blue, pink, white, and then pink and blue again. On the side of the trailer I painted a trans symbol in black and silver holo.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day y’all! I don’t really do saints (or indeed green drunken revelry) but I do paint a mean festive manicure! Hand painted using nail polish. If you want to see how, watch the live stream recording on my YouTube channel! Spoiler: it’s just 2 hours of careful painting ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A photo of my left hand showing all 5 nails painted in a sheer but sparkly green. The thumb is at the bottom and features a glass mug of golden-amber beer with a healthy head of foam. The remaining nails depict a rainbow-coloured snake slithering toward the beer, tongue out to taste the air. I’m wearing a 4-leaf clover ring on my index finger and a snake ring on my middle finger.

A close-up of my thumb nail showing the detail in the beer stein. It’s the dimpled type with curved sides and a hefty handle protruding from the left. The foam is rendered in an opalescent white to give a velvety effect.

A close up of the remaining 4 nails showing the rainbow snake. This isn’t based on a real species, it’s just a simple cartoony snake with long lines of colour running down its body, as though a rainbow came alive and decided a snake was the best thing to be.

Happy π day y’all! I baked a blueberry pie and did a pie manicure to celebrate (sadly the manicure, which I did Thursday night, did not survive to see the actual day since I had swatching to do).

A whole double-crust blueberry pie viewed from above. The pi symbol has been cut out of the centre of the top crust to reveal the blueberry filling (which also allowed some of that filling to boil over one section and run to the edge, eventually creating a semicircle of gooey blueberry filling tracing the edge of the fluting). Large sugar crystals were sprinkled over the top before baking, and combined with the egg wash to form a delicious-looking glossy, sugary, golden-brown crust.

A close up of my hand showing 4 finger nails. They are painted with a soft greyish-blue base, and I painted a whole pie on each (except the pinkie, which got a single slice instead). On the index is a lemon meringue. The middle has a blueberry that’s the inverse of the actual pie I baked - single crust but with a π symbol added to the centre with crust. The ring finger has a lattice-topped rhubarb custard pie. The pinkie features a single slice of key lime pie. For each pie, the crust has been made matte with a special top coat, while the pie fillings and the background are covered with a glossy coating.

A close up of the thumb nail, which features a double-crust cherry pie with “3.14” cut into it to reveal the filling.

To add to the new native gardens we put in last summer, @brianwolven.bsky.social and i (okay mostly him) put in one of two new microponds last night. It looks pretty sad right now, but soon enough this should be a thriving little space for local small wildlife to hang out.

A mostly bare patch of soil littered with a few leaves. In the lower right there’s a metal bowl embedded in the dirt so the rim is level with the ground surface. The bowl is full of water with sticks and soil inside, and a clump of soil growing a blue flag iris is breaking the surface at the far side of the bowl. Around the bowl are planted three clumps of sedges and three small ferns. To the upper left of the image, there’s an overturned terracotta pot acting as a toad house. There’s also a part of a concrete plant stand visible above it.

Pulled out a Spider print to reference the foreground texture for my current piece. When carving it can be easy to lose sight of the tone you're aiming for in the finished art. Being able to glance over at my prior work helps keep my line spacing in check. #art #woodcut #wip

A photo of an easel with a few inches of blue stained wood visible on the left, and a finished black ink woodcut print on the right. The wood is partially carved, primarily with a sort of woodgrain pattern similar to the foreground of the finished print. The finished print depicts a spider perched between a spindle of wool and pair of scissors. The scissors have snipped the wool leaving a section laying on the surface below.

Happy obligatory romantic observance day! I did these fluid art nails during my Thursday night live stream this week. I created fluid art decals, let them dry, then used a heart-shaped hole punch to create negative and positive hearts that I applied to the nails. I then hand-painted the details.

A close-up of my thumb nail. The swirled pink and white fluid art decal has two slightly overlapping hearts punched out of it to expose the reddish-brown base colour. I painted a tiny arrow piercing both hearts in a diagonal line moving from the feathered end in the lower left to the arrowhead in the upper right.

A close up of the other four nails on the same hand. The middle nail is an inversion of the thumb nail, with the punched-out fluid art hearts from the thumb adhered to the same reddish base in the same slightly overlapping arrangement. I also painted the same arrow shape, but moving the opposite direction, from the feathered end in the upper right to the arrowhead in the lower left.
The index and ring fingers are both fluid art decals with scattered hearts punched out - two on the index nail and three on the ring nail. The pinkie nail has a single fluid art broken heart in the middle over the same reddish base used in the rest. For this nail I took one of the punched-out hearts and cut it in a zig-zag line down the centre, then placed it on the nail with a slight gap between the two sides.

Every Thursday night I live stream nail art. For my first stream of Black History Month I asked chat to choose between 4 Black scientists I’d pre-selected. Chat, in their usual fashion, said “all 4, please”. Hence: Margaret Collins, Kathrine Johnson, Sophie Lutterlough, and Charles Henry Turner.

A photo of 4 fingernails on my left hand, each hand-painted with a design to represent one of the scientists. The background for each is a translucent blue-green polish with tiny metallic flakes. On the index nail, I painted a termite with a yellow and orange abdomen, thorax, and legs, and a large brown head and mandibles. On the middle nail, a tiny white rocket slingshots around the moon, trailed by a dashed line. The ring finger nail features and large brown mite with yellow legs and head, and the pinkie nail has two black ants in a line.

Nail art is basically my only therapy these days so here are some recent therapy pieces.

A photo of my left hand posed to show all 5 nails. Each is painted in a dark purplish- grey polish with a pale sand-coloured magnetic pigment. On my thumb nail, I painted Albireo in orange and blue: a star in the constellation Cygnus which is an optical binary. One component of Albireo (the orange star) is itself a true binary (or possibly a trinary - the jury is still out). On my middle nail I painted the constellation Pegasus and on my ring nail I painted Cygnus. You could call it sort of a self portrait - IYKYK

A manicure I did for slavery and human trafficking awareness. 4 fingernails on my left hand are shown facing the camera, all painted in a light grey with a soft blue shimmer. Across the index, middle, and ring nails, I painted a grey steel chain, which has broken on the middle nail, pieces flying away from the broken link.

A close up of my left thumb nail with a portrait of Beaker from The Muppet Show. The pale green top of his lab coat collar and a bit of his dark green tie peek up at the bottom (proximal end) of my nail. His bright orange hair sticks up chaotically toward the tip of the nail. He’s looking to the left with his typical worried/horrified expression. The background is painted with a plum coloured polish with a blue shimmer.

A photo of my left hand with all five nail showing. Each is painted with a smooth gradient: a rainbow in the centre of each nail, going from red at the proximal end to indigo at the tip. Around the circumference of each nail, the rainbow fades into a dark purple polish. It’s hard to tell in a still photo, but I painted the rainbow part using magnetic polishes, so in motion it looks really dynamic with the colours shifting, brightening and fading with the movement of my fingers.

Going to a (slightly belated) Boxing Day party this evening, so needed an appropriate* manicure for the occasion. *Note for people from non-commonwealth countries: this is not actually what Boxing Day is all about.

A close-up shot of my thumb nail. It’s covered in a deep smoky slate blue polish, and in the middle of the nail I have painted a Little Tykes Turtle Sandbox. It’s filled with gleaming gold-tinged sand, out of which is emerging a yellow plastic shovel handle. There’s a red pail resting on the sand.

A close up shot of my other 4 fingers, with the same background polish. Each nail has a different kind of box painted on it:
Index - a red vintage style lunchbox with an Astroboy picture on the side
Middle - a pink jewellery box, open to reveal a dancing ballerina in front of a gleaming silver mirror.
Ring - a pizza box, partially open to reveal pizza inside.
Pinkie - a crayon box with the top flap open showing the crayons inside.
