So despite it being one of the few Christmas carols I still enjoy, I have just now learned that the Carol of the Bells is an adaptation of a Ukrainian folk song (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carol_o...), which you can listen to here:

This thread is the perfect example of #JoyScrolling.

Much gratitude and many thanks!
🧵Spotted on an afternoon hike in Aotearoa New Zealand:

An English woman (30s) is flapping a campervan door open and shut: "Enid I am NOT getting back in there until you get it out of your system. That. Was. HORRENDOUS."
A woman inside is howling with laughter. "I'm sorry! It was the cherries!" (1)

Saw the proofs in ChCh on Weds, honestly I could have hugged the rep, they are that good.

Day 14 of #ArtAdventCalendar

A pink eraser print of two scoops of ice cream on a cone. Something I made during the summer!

Late post is late because it's been a busy day.

Day 14!! This is a cyanotype I made last year using coarse salt crystals and an arbovitae twig (plus some gouache to frame the picture a bit after rinsing and drying). #ArtAdventCalendar

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 13 and 14.

Had to be out of town for about a month last winter. Took some water soluble crayons, colored pencils, pens, and watercolor paper along. Did a bunch of this type of thing.

Hola, it is I, your friendly Seasonal Pun, aka @pixelfish.bsky.social and I have made an ART AND WRITING AND CUTE THINGS ONLY account.

This is because my interests tend to range widely and I can be a firehose, especially when upset.

Please follow this account if you want only art, writing, Doom.
