Sometimes, self-care is closing a chapter in your career when all your coworkers are afraid to even turn the page. And yes, it's OK to have an adult beverage after the hard work is done! Fiber: @fossilfibers.bsky.social Spindles: @spanishpeacock.bsky.social

I recently realized that the barber pole-ing I dislike occurs when the values lie at opposite ends of the color value scale. With Peacock Plumage, the values are close enough, and the colors suitably adjacent on the color wheel, that a fractal would look spectacular!
