An embroidery project in its beginning. The cloth is blue with white outlines to follow with a thread and needle. There are branches, and three cat silhouettes in various poses on the branches, the cats all face right. The branches have many leaves and flowers throughout. The branches are almost finished being outlined by brown embroidery thread, as there is only the top of the branches left to outline

Here's day 2 of the current embroidery project. So far, I'm not spending a lot of time on it, just getting to bits and pieces of it near the end of my day. Still, I'm making good progress!

A mini figure painted in gold, silver, and blue. They hold a battle hammer and a large shield in a noble pose. The figure is heavily armored, and standing on a field of battle with a skull beneath them.

This figure has been rotated slightly to highlight the detail on the shield, which depicts the face of an old man and lightning bolts striking down.

Like I said earlier this week, I painted my first ever mini at Pax:U!

I know very little about painting techniques, but what little I do know marries well with what I was able to accomplish. I'm incredibly proud of this piece, and hope to do more!

Iโ€™ve never had an orange cat - but if one adopts me i would be very honored.
The cats for my piece will be almost all black lol

The branches look like they're beginning to be embroidered out, as on the bottom, there is some brown thread following the branch outlines.

Potato quality picture is potato quality, but here's my current embroidery project!
I'm really excited to finish this up, as it'll depict the three cats who have impacted my life the most.

Heat metal is an under-used spell.

Change my mind.

I've been using Qobuz for like three or fours months now and honestly it's almost identical to Spotify in every way except for ethics. It's an extremely easy switch, would highly recommend

Open AI doesn't want to be transparent about what's in their datasets - this bill would force them. If you're pro AI regulation (esp if you're in Bay Area), please show up and offer your support for this bill! If you can't make it, help spread the word!

I learned to play a new board game called Solar Gardens. It was such good and simple fun that I think I'm gonna pick it up for my home!

While I was at PaxU, i picked up a new system, and i learned how to do some mini painting!

I painted a mini for the first time ever, and LOVED IT.

I think i have a new hobby lol

What all did everyone else do at PaxU?

Did we see new and fun things? Play lots of games? What was most exciting for you, and what all did you have the most fun doing?

Any previews of stuff that you're really hype to see in the future?

PaxU was so fulfilling and lovely. I didn't get to do all of what I wanted to - there is a whole bunch of games I want to know and learn very badly, but had no time to sit at tables and actually get to play and know.

What games did you all find at pax?

I truly think one of the best maps I ever created was Dawnsharbour for my good friend Stryk.

This city inspired me so much, and I'm always eager and excited to go back to it.

Yet another domestica class has begun for me - I love taking art classes online, but I crave an in person interaction.

That said, this next one looks really fun and exciting. I'm really looking forward to what this one will be able to teach me!

In trying to find inspiration for things to draw in my notebook, I keep drawing weird worm things. They're really cool, don't get me wrong, but I'm still kind of struggling for inspiration.

I did finish pokemon legends z-a

It was good. I really liked a lot about it. I wish there was a little more umph to it, but i do recommend it.

If I'm impatient, if I don't take my time, I get knots. Knots make me angry. I can't have healthy fun when I'm angry.

So I slow down.
I take my time.

It's the original fidget toy, and, honestly? I've been a happier person for it. I can't recommend an art hobby enough.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. Embroidery is teaching me so much about patience.

I don't have much to give. I naturally sit in an angry state until something or someone kind shakes me of it. Embroidery is helping me navigate that side of myself.
