Styscraper 🐷🏗️ porcine physics game Build a tower of junk and rise high above the muck!

Hey just a heads up to all iPad folks, once you upgrade to IpadOS 18.3.2 it WILL switch Apple Intelligence back on so you might wanna check that and switch it off again.

A cake of VERY red fingering weight yarn, sits next to the sleeve of an in-progress jumper. A twisted ribbed cuff is front and centre of the image, partially knit with two pairs of circular needles sticking out of its sides.

Day two of the #100dayproject, work done ON day two, so was the photo, so I'm calling it that it still counts! 🤣

Sleeve Island is a place on earth, and I've been on it for QUITE some time now. I knit a few twisted rib rounds to get some progress on this, around six to go for completion!

I am so glad to see so many people doing this on Bluesky! Posting my day two late now 😅😂

To be perfectly honest, that's genius!

This year my aim is simply to record SOMETHING creative done every day for the 100 days, vs trying to do a specific challenge. Lifey!life as it stands is not making room for that kind of focus.

The neckline and shoulder seam of a blue-green garment lays next to a needle threaded with mint sewing thread. Nearby a plastic thread conditioner container sits, containing a white block of conditioner. Soft foliage fills the top right of the photo, and everything sits upon a dark wood surface.

Starting the #The100DayProject off with something work related, its creative! It counts!

I put together a tutorial on how to sew a Bra Keeper into completed garments over on the @twigandtale.bsky.social blog! Both thread and bias binding/ribbon methods included!

8 February 2025 Cancel the Christie's AI Art Auction Nicole Sales Giles & Sebastian Sanchez Christie’s, New York Dear Nicole and Sebastian, We are writing to express serious concern over your upcoming auction of AI art at Christie’s. Many of the artworks you plan to auction were created using AI models that are known to be trained on copyrighted work without a license. These models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them. Your support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivizes AI companies’ mass theft of human artists’ work. We ask that, if you have any respect for human artists, you cancel the auction. Yours sincerely, The undersigned artists

🔴CALLING ALL ARTISTS🔴

Christie's NYC is planning an AI art auction expected to bring in over $600,000 to creators who've used models trained on copyrighted material from non-consenting artists.

If you object to this, please sign and share this open letter.

Dug out this old "guide to making minicomics" handout from my teaching days for a youngster... thought y'all might find it helpful! 1/5

You are overlooking the critical Australia component to this ;)

LOL more shared for myself than anything ;)

I've had strangers ask me if its okay if I watch their dog while they pop in to a shop. I don't know what it is about me that makes them think I wont steal their dog, but its always been lovely and the dogs are always the best bestest frens.

THIS.

Now you have experienced the same kind of confusion that Aussies do when we see people in films lock a door by wedging a chair under the knob. Who's got chairs that tall!?

Except coming HERE means we have to guest clean and that's going to take a week so how about we go there..?

In that its always too early, somewhere, no matter the hour?

Ah, but I am allergic to birds, but can eat eggs all day. So, fundamentally, they are different.

Two spinning braids of fibre, merino and humbug roving dyed in shades of teal, purple, blue and soft pinks. Braids are stacked on each other, on top of light wooden slats.

PHOTOS TWO DAYS IN A ROW, WHO EVEN AM I!?

Delicious splurge at the Adelaide Royal Show a few weeks back that I'm only just getting a moment to photograph.

Amongst some other lovely things, these two braids of Kathy's Fibres Merino Humbug in Evening Tide HAD to come home with me. Nom nom nom!

A pair of slippers that are also bats, sewn in black cotton fabric with bat wings, green lining, with embroidered yellow eyes, white fangs, and other details applied with fabric paint.

BAT FEET! FOOTS WITH BATS!

I made these children's Animal Boots for my youngest recently after she discovered that Twig + Tale (for whom I work) had bat animal shoes patterns. CLEARLY IT WAS AN OUTRAGE THAT I HAD NOT MADE THEM FOR HER YET 🤣
