Moths in a human suit (they/them)

Mate. It means summat to me too. 🥰

That's so cool! Thanks for sharing mate 💖

Painting of dismembered green hand wearing jewelry with long nails flexing. Coloured green with textures, orange splash in background, inked boldly. Image also shows my messy deck, feat a box with paint pans, ruler, bit of fabric, etc.

I can't figure out what tags or whatever to find art and be found on here. But here is some #workinprogress #art using @lycomorpha.bsky.social 's 'Alchemical resources of the underdark' paints.

This is the scintillating grid illusion - www.illusionsindex.org/i/scintillat...

I'm wondering if it would still work with stars instead of circles, or stars on the squares.

Best way to find out is probably to try it! Be fun to play with in watercolour I reckon. 😁

So for week 2, it's quilt/stars for #FebruaryFrost26

The word quilt reminds me of optical illusion quilt patterns that someone I know used to make.

Wondering if I can make a waving squares pattern kinda like this, with stars in the corners: www.reddit.com/r/lego/comme...

Or a scintillating grid…

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

Sunday morning irrelevance: high-polymer erasers and tortillons are absolute game changers and if I hadn't been so resistant to instruction for most of my life I would be a lot better at drawing right now

Once it's definitely boiling, even when you stir it, put it in a low-ish oven (150°C), cook it for 3-4 hours, stirring every 45 mins or so until it's thick and gloopy.

Divide up into portions, freeze in bags smooshed flat. This is a goodun to pool with friends & split, too.

Spice mix deets here:

The big cooking pot has now has approximately 1 metric fuck-tonne of butter beans added, as per the recipe in the thread. It's very full.

- a hefty amount of ground orange peel, chilli, herb & spice mix
- a lil salt
- spoon of sticky brown sugar
- some extra chilli & oregano
- 2 x veg stock pots

Shake 10 cans of butter beans. Keep the liquid in half. Drain half. Dump all of em int pot. Stir it all together, bring to a relaxed boil…

Another spoonie big cook going on here today.

Big pot of baked beans, using the roast garlic+onion paste & ground orange peel spice mix from the thread below. This makes about 20 portions, if u need to divide it.

Int pot we have:
- 1 frozen aliquot garlic onion paste
- 2 x 500g cartons passata…

Swearing gives me the energy to bother our MPs, councillors, & other authorities without esploding in frustration.

It also annoys the ableist white cisheteropatriarchy when people with tits & opinions swear.

& You know the old saying:

You can't win at everything, but you can swear at everything.

Hello. Here's some cusses that I feel may be useful to us over the next week. IDK why, it's just a feeling I get…

- Pestilent populist shitpotatoes
- Self-serving turdspangled arsebarnacles
- Dishonest bigoted twatmuffins
- Murderously twatulent cuntpuffins
- Callous weapons-grade butt-walnuts

A small brown dragon with a white face and belly looks upward at a glowing yellow snowdrop flower as snow falls around it. The dragon has two wings with white frills on the edges and a long curling tail.

Watercolour painting of a blue pine marten on a dark blue background, leaping forwards with its tail above its head. There are little stars on its fur and glowing yellow stars around it. One of the stars is just above its nose and casting a glow on it.

Nocturnal for #FebruaryFrost26, a pine marten! #art

An art prompt list on a blue leafy patterned background. February Frost. Feb 1-7: Snowdrops / Nocturnal. Feb 8-14: Stars / Quilt. Feb 15-21: Crocus / Frost. Feb 22-28: Sparkling / Robin. #FebruaryFrost26

I'm joining up with friends to host an art prompt list throughout February! The prompts are all about the transition between winter and spring, so if you're looking for some art inspiration hopefully these prompts are for you 🌞 We're looking forward to seeing what you make!! #FebruaryFrost26

thanks 😊

Thank you! 😁

thanks 💖

Thanks! (& hey, I'm always available for work that involves moths/plants/lichens)

Shiny scanned version, with less reflection off the thicker areas of pencil. Took out a few stars here & there too.

This was fun to make something with less detail than my usually finicky-arse drawings, & based on a prompt for something I wouldn't have thought about otherwise! 😁

#FebruaryFrost26

I've definitely overdone the stars here! 😂 So gonna tweak that a bit.

But this is supposed to be a fun drawing not a super-serious one. So I'm mostly gonna scan it and not be too fussy.

#FebruaryFrost26

Filled in the halo. Went around the edges of the moths & plant with a white oil pencil first. To try to stop any bleeding from the dark blue. Mostly worked!

Time to add some green to the moths & some colour pencil shading all round. 😁

I mean. When it comes to ochre at least... If it ain't brokk, don't fix!

But I'm quite glad we have light-fast alternatives to most lake pigments now, as well as the original recipes. (Also glad we have pans & tubes, so we don't have to carry sap green in pig's bladders like medieval artists! 😂)

Not sure when the paint tube was invented, but I can see why you'd wanna swap out the bladders! 😬

(Thankfully it's not sold in pig's bladders tho.)

Yep. It's a lake pigment made from unripe buckthorn berries.

Legend has it that in medieval times it was used as a reduced syrup rather than powder, & was sold and carried in pig's bladders.

Most sap green paint these days is made from more light-fast alternatives, but you can still buy the lake.

They're precious to me too, but I hope you use them eventually - they've got such a beautiful granulation!
