Sorry I've been pretty MIA here as I'm trying to get ready to get back to streaming on main. 💦

Been feeling pretty down about the Zine between the state of the world & Bluesky shooting themselves in the foot. 😮‍💨

Will be working to make some reminder posts to get us through the upcoming holidays. 🙏

Sorry for the silence! 💖

We will be taking things very seriously moving forward; As I do not want Bluesky's shortcomings to reflect this Zine and the hope we carry in our hearts.

Name change considered, maybe simply returning to "Bluer Skies" is enough?

This Thread will address Feed Back results;

Finally~ My piece for @blueskyzine.bsky.social ! 💖 One of my Hamtaro OCs, Po the mail-ham. ✉️📬

Was originally going to include his partner, Pierre the Pigeon, but got a bit carried away trying to make the tall grass work. 😅

The custom omamori charms I made for @blueskyzine.bsky.social 🦋💙

Made from shrink plastic with handmade beaded charms. It was my first time using dip resin along with learning how to tie the string.

Two custom omamori charms made from white shrink plastic with light and dark blue paint markers making a pattern of butterflies and wavy lines. The blue middle reads 希望 Kibō - meaning "hope".

Topped with a handmade charm made of blue beads and a silver butterfly. Strung with blue and white string and a silver ring for extra strength.

Excited to post my contributions for the @blueskyzine.bsky.social run by @pickledpyper.bsky.social ! I couldn't resist when I heard the Y2K nostalgia theme. Plus, Sky-tan (design by @verti.blue ) is a cutie! 💙🦋

Illustration styled to look like a Windows XP screenshot with a Winamp window open, a media player window open, and a version of Clippy in the bottom corner. The background is a blurred, pixelated image that references the classic "Bliss" background associated with Windows XP. The WinAmp window has a fake album cover showing the BlueSky mascot Sky-Tan (designed by @verti.blue) drawn in a Y2K toony style. The media player shows what looks like a screenshot from a subtitled anime with a close-up of B-Tan with the text "Together, we can go there!" She is drawn in a late 90s anime style reminiscent of Sailor Moon. Cover for the Blue Sky Zine Vol.1. It is styled to look like a composition book in dark blue and white with stickers covering the front and back. The stickers are hearts, butterflies, stars, as well as the title of the zine. On the front, the focal point is a large sticker showing Sky-tan (Design credit @verti.blue) sitting on a cloud throwing a peace sign.

Merch is here, wow! 😱💖It all looks so good~

Only problem is with Keychain C not having holo, maybe because I selected both holo and protective? 😩

Will see what other's want to do & maybe test adding holo to my own, lol.

ALSO 1/2 >>

That was fast!! 😱 But major problems..

Despite being formatted right & approved by staff, it was printed wrong & has many defects. 😭

It even says it's still printing & won't be here for another 6 days, so I can't even report it. 🙃

I can only hope they will fix this & will try my best to fix it. 🙏
