From ye olde archives: Here is a #goblin I once drew for the prompt "Expensive" for #inktober2018 #goblinweek

RE: https://mastoart.social/@Annmie/115351449344017963 Aaah! I missed that it is #goblinweek ! Please accept my goblin chef, posted earlier, as a small tribute. I shall try to offer a new creation later.

I spoiled myself in the weekend by buying myself a new fountain pen. Now I just need an excuse to write something, and for my hand to stop being inexplicably shaky... Please give me an excuse to use my pen. What should I write with it?

J'ai fait une note de blog genre on est en 2014 ou quoi ? Ça parle de bébé, bien sûr. CW cucul-la-praline. https://www.bouletcorp.com/notes/2026/01/05

A photo with a mobile phone from a moving car last week, so certainly not the most focused or best-framed one, but I thought anyone who enjoys wires might enjoy it. I don't know why I enjoy looking at powerlines. I think it's the same part of me that finds a […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

Jussi was happy outside in -7 but when it became -18.5°C he thought that was a bit excessive. I learned that my camera wasn't a fan of -5 either, so when I a few days later went to photograph the frozen nature, I kept it snug and warm between photos. #tuxedocat #nikonzf

Happy new year! A photo from yesterday to celebrate.

Alexander the Small says hi. I can't help thinking this one might make a nice linocut or drawing. #cat #tuxedocat #nikonzf

Today, one of my favorite musical artists from my childhood passed away. That's Chris Rea. "God's Great Banana Skin" was the very first album that I picked out by my very self. I didn't realize how much it affected me until I listened to it again many years later and felt how many of the lessons […]

I made 3 of my nephews one #junkJournal each, made from a Lego #Batman box, paper bags, magazine pages, and other random scraps of paper including gelli print experiments. I hope they will use them. I'll try to explain to them they can do what they want: glue […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

Achievement unlocked. I put so many googly eyes all over my parents' house over the years that now they actually like them and wanted me to put more.

I made my parents' neighbors a Christmas card this year too. This is her cat. I hope she'll like it. So, happy holidays to everyone, whatever you may be celebrating, wherever you may be. #inktense #cat #mastoart

I pimped my ride. (I.e. laptop). I still have room for some stickers. The "Spinner" sticker near the middle was my own home made experiment, trying to replicate a Spinner emblem from Blade Runner. The rest, bought or gifted. I confess I have not mastered the […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

VROOM! 🔥 #tuesdaytiger #socialartwork

Pardon my silence. Things have been super busy here. My apartment has been leaking from about 4 locations, I've been drowning in work, and I'm still trying to prepare little gifts for friends and family. I've been working on making stickers! So far, I've got Moominzilla, Jussi-cat, a snail, and […]

Don't read this if you're getting a gift from me! The whole gang is ready. (Gifts for friends and family). But the rat has asked for a vest because he wants to look more dapper, and the cats have all asked for comfortable travel pouches or boxes. You know, as […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

Hopefully no one who is about to get a Christmas present from me follows me... (Also, a bit sad that they don't, but that's OK. Now it's an advantage.) Here are some gifts I've been working on. - A very fluffy Jussi with crazy whiskers and eyebrows and a […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

Relevant #throwbackthursday from 2019

[Artistic nudity] I was a bit confused if I should tag this as having artistic nudity, since if you're made of bark and wood and don't have "bits" does it really count as nudity? But I guess I'll mark it just in case... Today's #DDnD prompt was fey. I chose […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

The author of this norwegian knitting pattern was sadly attacked by a werewolf in the middle of writing the gauge instructions

In the past week, I built these two Studio #Ghibli #sankei #papercraft #miniature diorama kits. One is from Spirited Away, and the other is from My Neighbor Totoro. I'm grateful to have had the chance to pick these kits up in Japan in the spring. I was saving […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

A cool photo of some clouds above Greece I took the other day through the plane window. #clouds

For #Ddnd day 1, with the prompt "kobold", I present to you my kobold ranger, Chupchik. She was rather friendly and naive, but very efficient with her beloved longbow, "twig". And she would do anything for her people's leader, the copper dragon Nilollothnat […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

I love the documentaries that /noclip make. They're full of interesting interviews, fascinating information, and are really engaging even when I haven't played the game. Here's the latest one, about the excellent "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" and how a studio that generally made shooters […]

Last night, I also got to enjoy a light show in the form of #AuroraBorealis I had no idea it was supposed to happen! In Finnish, it's called fox fires because of an old folk belief that the northern lights would be lit by the tails of firefoxes causing sparks […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

My partner thinks he isn’t good at art, but he is! He does fun little drawings all the time and while he doesn’t consider that ‘art’ I think he’d enjoy something like a simple doodle-a-day prompt system for a holiday gift I’m looking for recommendations on a sketchbook, some quality pens or […]

I finished sewing 3 pencil cases with elastic bands, which can be attached to a notebook. I made these for 3 of my nephews. One of them is left-handed, so I thought he might enjoy being able to open it from the left side instead of the right. I think my old […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

Trying to sew with my old #vintage #husqvarna2000 . It's been a while! It hasn't got all the modern creature comforts of a modern machine, but by golly, it still works! #sewing #sewingmachine

I started #knitting the Moomin x Novita Taikapilvi beanie. I know my knitting is a bit looser than it should be, but not only did I have to downsize to 2.5mm needles instead of 3mm, but I'm also knitting the extra small size in the hopes of getting a medium! […] [Original post on mastoart.social]

My dad's opinion about dating/meeting people: "There's nothing wrong with meeting people online. In bars, people are playing a role. In role playing games, people are themselves." So cute <3

Jussi the cat, performing his job as a bouncer. The barn is a very exclusive club, it seems. #cat

I went for a walk along some meadows and a forest today. Here are some photos from that walk. If you happen to know what any of the plants are, please feel free to chime in. #bloomscrolling #naturewalk #finland #flowers

Paradeisi, Rhodes, Greece. My fascination with doors and gates strikes again. #doorphotography

We have a company event in the evening on a beach. They didn't specify a dress code. I will be going in "Cthulhu Casual", so if the Deep One should decide to rise, I will at least be dressed appropriately. (Cthulhu tank top and earrings with Shoresh sandals, and baggy pants.) Iä! Iä! Cthulhu […]

I made this komebukuro-style pouch from fabric scraps and an embroidered tea towel my mother gave me. They were originally scraps from her sewing class that no one wanted. Now they're a handy-dandy colorful pouch instead. #upcycling #sewing #komebukuro

For some reason, this photo I took makes me feel like reading Pride and Prejudice for the first time in a long time. It feels like two people gossiping, with one making a particularly good quip. #caturday
