Hippolyta Loudbasket (she/her)

I’m not sure it’s dedication so much as chasing the thrill of novelty to fill an aching void. It might be dedication, though.

Hospitals are difficult places to sleep. Fingers crossed.

A jug of gin that’s been infused with butterfly pea flowers and strained into a jug.

The gin being poured back into the bottle. You can see the colour better here.

The infused water in a glass of crushed ice with lime juice added.

After a few seconds the lime juice has turned the water pink.

Experiment concluded. The gin has turned out beautifully but it’s *so* blue it’s quite hard to see in the jug. I tried adding lime juice to the infused water and it really does turn pink. #SuperFancyDrinks on Thursday night, then.

Maybe we’ll get a bumper crop this year, like we did with celeb deaths in 2016.

Same.

I haven’t done anything to deserve a comeuppance. I’m particularly interested in comeuppances for orange people with scabby necks.

Mum’s was about 10 days. She got the Post Office to check it to avoid issues.

So many people deserve one rn.

Can we have a comeuppance, please? I’d like to see a comeuppance.

Very pleasing to play on the guitar.

Spent all fucking afternoon doing chores. This is bullshit.

Hoping he goes down well with the recipient.

Thank you!

A jar of blue gin with flowers float in it beside a jug of blue water with flowers floating in it. The gin is between royal blue and purple and the water is between dark Prussian blue and teal.

Just started making my butterfly pea flower colour changing gin. I’m infusing some water for experimental purposes and the difference in colour is wild.

eBay thinks I want a Birmingham City football top after yesterday’s nonsense.

Happy birthday! I hope you have a fabulous day!

Hehe! Someone in work liked American Gothic and asked me to do more art and I thought this would be fun.

It’s like the Precogs in Minority Report for me.

Mum’s new passport arrived yesterday. She’s doing a live unboxing for us.

So tired I’m afraid I’ll drop off while FaceTiming Mum and Dad.

Thank you! I’m quite taken with her.

Two felt mice wrapped in floaty robes like the figures on the left in The Birth of Venus

These guys will need suspending from something. They also need hair. And wings.

A felt mouse dressed a bit like one of the figures in The Birth of Venus

I’m calling this a good start. Hair is on order.

Thanks!

Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus

Two lengths of wide white ribbon with splotches of blue and green to give the impression of flowers

I couldn’t find any fabric like the dress on the lass on the right but I’ve given some wired ribbon the impression of it.

I suppose I should get started on my mouse version of Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus…

Thank you!

Aw, thank you!

It had to be done.

That was my favourite bit!
