Promotional image for a handmade watercolour paint, made with green slate. There's a postcard swatch showing how the paint looks at different dilutions with water. Around the edge are pebbles, paintbrushes, shells and lichen.

A small zine made from an outer layer of lighter paper with leaf shapes punched into it, and an underneath layer with a green leafy abstract pattern that shows through the punches. It's held open at pages that read: 'none of us should have to fit a pattern decided for us by others. Still, here we are. We are still here.'

Heads up! Now that I'm past the covid worst, I'm planning to restart US shipping in my store at lycomorpha.etsy.com next week.

I'll yell about it here when it's all sorted. & Thanks to folks helping me test Royal Mail's new PDDP service. πŸ’–

Feel compelled to acknowledge world menopause day today as it’s such an important thing to talk about without shame or embarrassment, but anything that feels wise or useful is currently beyond me.
So just love & solidarity to anyone else going through it, whatever version of it you’re navigating

You can easily block the official MAGA government accounts here. Do not engage them. Do not give them what they want.

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, a strawberry ghost bag, and a black creature with sharp teeth. There's a white egg with yellow embroidered flowers and purple eyeshadow and purple lips. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background. The watermelon creature and the watermelon ghost are sitting on metal doll chairs.

Hey Bluesky, could you help me spread the word? I have four creatures left at my Big Cartel shop.

Each lil guy is designed, hand-sewn, hand-embroidered by me and takes many hours to create.

While I'm here, shout out to all the rancid sun-dried shitpickles who think disabled & chronically ill people are somehow weak or lazy:

You wankspangled podcaster broflakes wouldn't last 5 fucken minutes with what we handle all day every day.

You could learn a thing or 2 from us.

A colour pencil drawing of an imaginary empress moth. It's got a very fluffy body, wide fuzzy wings in mint green and cherry red, and comb-like antennas. Each wing has a big eyespot on it.

Good morning, here's a moth.

Now that I have your attention.

Avoid getting covid. Take care of yourselves & each other. It's brutal right now.

I'm very used to managing chronic neuropathic pain, endometriosis, & muscle spasms. This virus is still a fkn struggle to deal with.

Thank u for ur time.

Our promise is our action. Our solidarity is what we do. Not an attitude or being correct. So we'll still be here every day for food, shelter, more for six families & a displacement camp. Even if we're alone.

As Philippa states, this a really easy tool to get a standard letter sent to your MP in a matter of seconds.
We’ve seen, in the past, that mass writing to MPs about trans issues does get their attention, so get this letter out to yours!!!

And please repost!

Water colour doodle with page above it from @lycomorpha.bsky.social's Cloud-book #2 drawing exercises. There are two shells with blue paint in one and green in the other in the top left. The top doodle is a cloud shape with greenish blue paint strokes in it. The bottom doodle is a cloud shape with rather more chaotic dark green paint strokes in it.

So, I've just started working with watercolours. Never done it before, so getting the hang of it. Sharing it here to kind of normalize it being okay to just make art - it doesn't have to be "good". 🩡

...Differently to Kremer's volkonsoite pigment, & their russian green (clay soil containing volkonsoite.)

It's all very interesting. But also tricky. Cos for obvious reasons I'm not keen to just, y'know, hop on over to Russia to find out more. 😬

This is so cool to see! I think the Russian green may not be volkonsoite. I have several other samples & some actual mineral now. But I'm trying to get some help with polarising microscopy to confirm/deny from refractive index. This is very much the colour of the stone, but behaves somewhat...

Aferah, an illustration by Eleonor Piteira of a woman in profile standing on a desert. Framing her head is a gold sun like a halo, and her long dark hair becomes the night sky behind her, with two pale moons among the stars. On one hand she holds a 4 leaf clover and on another a gold cup tilted down, a gold river pouring from it.
