I made a new video! It's a little different from my usual. Super calm, chill vibes. ASMR style. Cleaning and refilling my trusty (very dusty) watercolor palette. I hope you enjoy it! A new sewing video is next up after this one.
You can watch it here: youtu.be/rRVmJE19P5g
A youtube thumbnail. The background is a close up photo of a very messy watercolor palette with lots of different colors. In the center, there's a circle with an even closer up shot of a single red watercolor pan getting fresh paint squeezed into it. The text reads: "ASMR Watercolor Palette Refresh."

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --
Don't put down your own work. Plenty of people want to devalue you and the things you Make. Don't help them do it.

Make bad art. Make uncertain art. Make indifferent art. Make confused, and confusing, art. Make uninspired art. Making bad art is the essential and irreplaceable aspect of making great art, next time

make bad art because some of the worst people you know are making even worse art and literally nothing you make will be that bad.

I had 🐈 help when editing that video. ❤️❤️
An orange kitty is sitting on my left arm. I'm at my computer and a big window is in the background. The desk is a little cluttered with a teapot and mug. My computer screen has my video software up.

Reblogging for the opposite time zone folks! New video! Different from my usual. But I had fun making something different. :))

Let's just pretend it's Caturday still okay.
❤️
An orange kitty is curled up on the legs of a person mostly out of view. A pink and white blanket covers the legs, and they are laying on a yellow sofa. A room is softly visible in the background, with calm daylight coming in from the windows.

I spend too much time on my phone in bed (whomst among us...). So I decided my phone needed a tiny lil bed of its own to sleep in! I made a miniature tatami and futon for my phone so I can put it to sleep at night and we can be twins on our matching beds.
youtu.be/FkrY4FKdbg8
A side view of a tatami and futon take up the picture. The majority of the frame is the green fabric of the futon cover, with a tiny part of the bottom of the screen showing the black side fabric and stitching of the tatami mat. On top of this, there is a miniature tatami and futon in the same green fabric, and a hand is placing a phone onto the miniature bed. Text reads: "Making a Tiny Tatami & Futon for my Phone."

I am finally starting to feel settled. I have a new video almost finished up and something that makes me feel settled is going on little adventures.
I talk about my trip to Rotterdam to see a really cool exhibit on the work of Dutch fashion designer Iris Van Herpen in a members only post on Patreon

Happy Friday everyone 🥰 have a cat and a spinning wheel. You deserve it.
Photo of a sweet orange long haired cat sitting in my lap. She is on a soft sea green blanket and in front of both of us is an upright spinning wheel. The picture is taken from above so none of me is visible. The cat and the wheel are better anyhow.

I have no need for genAI. It would improve nothing in my life. It wouldn't save me time. I could not trust any text it assembled. It cannot research. It cannot write like I do. It cannot create like I do.

It cannot justify its existence or its expense.

It is not inevitable. It is not unavoidable.

This ribbon features in the next project I'm doing. Spoiler: it's silly and fun.
This ribbon is not silly and fun. It is a nightmare to work with.
I wish to yeet it directly into the sun where it will melt.
My own hubris for trying to use packaging garbage and saving it from the landfill...

In these trying times, please enjoy this cat. He has no thoughts. He's just a perfect little professor business princess who sat sitting up like this, purring, for like 5 minutes.
Portrait style photo of a long haired orange cat. He's sitting at the arm of a sofa with his paws up on it, stating at the camera like he's posing for his author photo.

Brb never moving again
A person's legs are outstretched and crossed at the ankle, covered in a soft blanket, with a cat draped in the middle. The cat is an orange long haired kitty who has never looked more comfortable in her entire life.

What do you get when you combine 4 oz of Rambouillet wool, an unspecified amount of silk, and an urge to make silly yarn?? Holy double boucle, batman! New video! This was suuuuuper fun to spin up. I had a blast, and I hope you enjoy watching the process. :D

Youtube thumbnail that is a photo of a white person with dark hair and a dark shirt in the background, slightly blurry. In the foreground their arm is outstretched and, in focus, is a bundle of off white and very sproingy and scrunchy yarn. Off to the side, text reads "Double Wool Boucle" with an arrow pointing to the yarn. The person is grinning like a loon and looks extremely pleased with themselves. As the person, I can say yes I was.
