apparently i'm just doing it wrong

This place needs a) a filter-by-language feature, and b) an option to subscribe to various instances so I can watch more than one without having to watch all of it.

So, what's up?

Randomly, I'm finding that Mastodon is a weird combination of too quiet and way too noisy. No comfy middle ground. Hm.

good morning, tooters :bee:

Just spent the day updating every listing in two of my Etsy shops. Eeyah. :dizzy_face:

The result of yesterday's derpy photoshop experiments. 😎

An earlier art. Another collagraph, this one made with card, wrapped string & shellac. Printed with oil-based etching ink on 300gsm watercolour paper.

"Will Mastodon make any money?" scream the journalists, who have forgotten the joy of building sandcastles on the beach

Puttering when I should be focusing. My todo list for today is epic and I really should get started on it, but oooh look i have to reboot everything because computers are dumb. Ugh. Hi.

Another art -- this one is an original photograph, modified heavily. I've actually sold a couple of copies of this one, which is always lovely πŸ™ƒ

I am playing minecraft, and no one can stop me. Still my favourite braingum. :hugging:

Here's a different sort of print I made. This is a collagraph print, where the plate is made with nothing but folded paper and glue (and varnish), then inked and printed on my itty bitty home press.

The image itself is ~4x4", and is oil-based etching ink on 300gsm watercolour paper.

I really enjoy this technique and am planning to do an extensive series of collagraph monotype miniatures one of these days.

I just realized that Mastodon is awesome because it's all just people. My twitter stream is mostly a relentless flood of posts from not-people. I like it here.

Eeeyah, did I seriously get the first on mastodon?

Friday night game night and I'm making ribs. So many ribs.
