Can't convince myself that interacting on social media is a good idea. But I can't be a hermit in the woods so here I am. Any pronouns except it.

@tinavasquez.bsky.social explores a little known Halloween subculture: Halloween 'Villaging', where grown adults make little Halloween villages to celebrate the holiday everyday.
Inside the Tiny, Weird World of Halloween ‘Villaging'
As part of this Boomer-coded subculture, two companies vie for the attention of weirdos like me, who prefer to spend their time—and money—constructing small, spooky landscapes.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)
As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Things have been very busy lately but when one of my favorite pattern designers (Vasile and Pavel) released this earlier this month, I HAD to make it and it had to happen before Halloween. So all my spare time has gone into him. Isn't he adorable? Just a couple finishing touches left. #leatherwork

@emilylhauser.bsky.social in case you haven’t seen, I have yet another zine out! It was commissioned to be distributed during the No Kings 2 protests. It’s called “We Marched! Now What?” and is filled with stuff people can do. drive.google.com/file/d/1TJnH...

Well that was delightful.
I’ve only today discovered @greigarjohnson.bsky.social has been making wonderful things on YouTube (channel Greig Johnson Making) but I thought I’d share my all time favourite YouTube video of his - ‘Learning To Play The Shenanigan’

I'm hoping someone might be able to give me info on a family heirloom teapot. I was told it came to the US from Scotland with my family (in the early 1900s I think). The shape doesn't look quite like any of the Brown Betty pictures I'm finding online. It is fire damaged and I'm hoping to restore it.

The Lightfastness and Student Grade Materials discourse on Watercolor YouTube has, predictably, veered into anti-intellectualism (spearheaded, coincidentally, by sleazy influencers trying to sell low quality, non-lightfast paints under their own brand)
