Hi! I'm Monday, I'm a vtuber-to-be who loves tea and sweets and indie and retro games! I'm still making my design and picking the first games to test. But I love her so far and I'm excited to share my journey here!

For now this space will be an excuse to talk tea and also to document my learning process. (Vroid textures are intense!) I'd love to hang out with fellow tea fans, baking fans, and geeks!

Hello! I'm a transplant from artisan.chat so I figure an # is in order.

I'm an # and work mainly with #. My favorite subjects are animals of all kinds and I paint a lot of # and # colored animals. I also bounce around between # (thank you #) like #, #, # (with an emphasis on #), and whatever new thing that I just have to try.

I'm looking forward to meeting other creatives! I'd love to hear from you!
A watercolor painting of a tiger sits on a desk. There are paintbrushes and paint pallets on the edges. The tiger's stripes are painted with a rainbow gradient and the background is reminiscent of outer space.
 
I did not finish a weekly sketch this week because I was to busy with other things but I finished some crafts for my artist table at the next con. Key holder boards, four made from wood with transfer prints on them, made with art potch and one holder made using a small glass frame, where the picture can be changed. The faux leather flags avoid that the keys leave marks on the wall. # # # # # # # #
A photo of four handcrafted keyholders made from round wood discs, each has a Dragon sketch put on them using art potch, the text on them says, "The keys to my castle", "The keys to my heart" and two times "The keys to my dungeon". There is brown faux leather flag glued to their back in addition.
This photo shows the one key holder made from the tiny picture frame, it has a real glass front. The picture inside the frame shows an owl painting that I also made, (but it is an older artpiece) and shows an owl writing with a quill and lots of candles around it. The text says "The keys to my dreams". It also has a brown faux leather flag glued to it's back.
 
Li'l unicorn got a li'l friend yesterday. I considered blocking the antlers and wings, but I quite like the way they curl - making her look like a hatchling.

The 14th century is my favorite for many reasons, and I think you can tell by seeing how much my outfit has improved in such a short time 🥰

Projet créatif [redif 2017] : Boîtes de fromage turc ~30 cm x12, papier recyclé Amazon, décor à base de feutre noir/doré, blanco précision.
Je les ai offertes à 3 ingrates, avec chacune un kit de crochets, aiguilles + 3 pelotes + ciseaux vintage, pr garnir.

Je doute qu'elle aient été ouvertes un jour, mais je reste contente de les avoir fait et tout à fait ravie du rendu blanc or noir et papier recyclé.
En revanche le blanc machine : plus jamais sans ventilation !
# # #
Sur un fond gris de papier recyclé grège, une boîte cylindrique est entouré d'un papier recyclé décoré avec un motif végétal en noir blanc et or.<br /><br />Ce sont des sortes de fleurs extravagantes et imaginaires, un peu naïves, avec des feuilles rayées de blanc et des tiges noires. <br /><br />Le doré sur la boîte va bien avec le métal de la boîte elle-même qui est transparaît en haut là où le couvercle plastique doit se fermer. Et le couvercle n'est pas présent à l'image. <br /><br />On peut voir que le bord interne de la boîte a été plié avec des pinces de façon à ne pas présenter de surface coupante. <br /><br />Le tout forme un kit de crochet décoré, et a été garni comme indiqué dans le post.
Sur un carton brun qui contraste avec leur papier recyclé gris, les trois meilleurs côtés de chacune des boîtes côte à côte.<br /><br />Sur la première il y a des fleurs qui ressemble au personnage auréolé dans les enluminures avec leur tour blanc et doré sur de longues tiges noires et des feuilles qui ressemblent aux feuilles de chêne avec les ondulations. Sur la seconde boîte c'est une grande fleur majestueuse avec des détails blancs et des feuilles rayées de blanc.<br /><br />Sur la 3e boîte ce sont des tiges avec des feuilles et des fleur qui ressemble un peu à des têtes de pissenlit. Sur certaines des boîtes des amas de concrétions étranges, un peu comme des colonies pseudovégetales, complètent l'ensemble. <br /><br />Selon l'angle de chaque boîte on peut voir que la peinture dorée brille. Ça fait un ensemble esthétique de teintes mutées et organiques, brin du carton gris du papier, ocre de l'or blanc et noir.

Une partie des garnitures, c'est un exemplaire à chaque fois de ce que contenait chaque boîte pour le cadeau :<br /><br />Un porte-clé crochet, une aiguille à une épingle à nourrice, un lot de crochet de différentes tailles, un petit ciseaux vintage en celluloïde, et il y avait également trois pelotes assorties dans chaque boîte pour expérimenter. <br /><br />Ce cadeau faisait suite au fait que j'avais appris aux personnes à qui elles étaient destinées à crocheter pendant une après-midi, il s'agissait de leur offrir le matériel pour mettre en pratique ce qu'elle avait appris mais comme je le disais je doute que ça ait été ouvert ne serait-ce qu'une seule fois.
 
the next time it's nice and sunny in the morning i think i will have to take some nice photos of my marbled papers

Or just # in general 🥰

A few weeks ago, I finished a five week bookmaking class at a local art center in my neighborhood. I have really wanted to do something with my hands and I've had such a great time making these books - it almost was like meditation. Doing it has helped me be more comfortable with learning from my mistakes. I'm so glad I did it!

I've included another photo of new books made from an arts pamphlet.

# # # # # # # # # #
A collection of various handmade notebooks on a bamboo desk. In the top row are two small pamphlet stitch books. In the middle row are two Coptic stitch books, two medium sized pamphlet stitch books, and two large pamphlet stich books. The bottom row has two accordion style books, two stab bind books, and one smaller pamphlet stitch books.
Two unfinished pamphlet stitch notebooks made from an arts brochure in Chicago. One has a rainbow image of an a owl with the skyline of the city. The other is a yellow and blue poster for the Andersonville Midsommar Fest. Both books are on a green cutting mat on a bamboo desk.
Three accordion books. One is open with a watercolor drawing of Montrose Beach made by my wife with the text "Montrose Beach - Like Eternity We Stay Together" April 15 2023. On the right panel of the book is a watercolor of an image from the Chicago Cultural Center. All books are on a bamboo table.
 
Spinning Peacock (Corriedale x nylon) and combining with black Jacob top = my very first wheel spun 2 ply! The Jacob has been the most enjoyable to spin with so far.

Clouds of fluffy blue fleece with gold strands of nylon held in my left hand. A strand runs from the cloud into the orifice and onto the bobbin of an upright wooden spinning wheel.
Beautiful blue and gold flecked yarn spun onto a wooden bobbin.
Blue, gold, and a very dark brown striped yarn wound on a wooden bobbin, and held in my left hand. The blue strands catch the light and have a neon quality to them.
 
Decoupage is such a versatile technique. Made this from air-dry clay with one of my illustrations. # # # # # # # # # #
 
My first time needle felting, recently discovered a video on combining crochet and needle felting and had to try it! Doesn't look like all that much yet, but I think it's coming along well, though I am not sure I should ever wash it 🫣 I'm afraid the felting might come off...

Anyone experience with that kind of thing? Is hand wash O.K.?

Hi I'm mrskcrochets aka Krystal and as you can guess I love to crochet.

Below are a couple of peices I've made! And I've loved every moment. I think some of my favourite stitches are the crocodile stitch because it looks like dragon scales (which definitely makes me feel at home in Wales) and a Tunisian stitch of any kind!

I would love to hear from other crocheters or just anyone!

I'm looking for a new instance ! Spending time on the Fedi made me realize that I wasn't as into the general FOSS discussion as I thought I would be, and sadly I've been spending less and less time on the Local feed. Does anyone have some recommendations for an instance that focuses on artistic creation involving programming and # (preferably using FOSS), # and general "# of stuff with one's own hands" ?
 
I used pieces of Baltic amber in these hairpins (I got them many years ago from a geologist-collector).
Among them I even found a piece in which there is a fragment of something that looks like some kind of plant.

This specimen is somewhere in my collection, if I find it, I will take a photo.

I've been working on this bat wing bag for a while but I've been having issues with my sewing machine. I think I got it sorted out now and I made a lot of progress today. Just need to put the drawstring through and it will be done! A little bit late for Halloween but I will be using it anyways 🦇

Well lit photo, top-down view on three metal hair forks with crystal crescent and intricate butterfly-like iridescent wings. On each fork one wing is smaller than another.<br /><br />All fork are lying on the open palm.<br /><br />Leftmost fork with small green and large pinkish wing. Central with small yellow-gold and blue-green-black large wing; Rightmost with large yellow-blue and small steel blue-gray wing.<br /><br />On the background are visible round coral husk, and dried hydrangea flowers.
 
The first fairy cat is finished. Finally was able to sculpt the face I wanted (after a dozen unsuccessful ones you start to "see"). Now I want to redo the wings. They look pretty rough right now.
