The new image carousel causes text-heavy images to flicker constantly on my phone so that's really fun and makes me want to be on this app Back to spinning

Still so happy with my little replica

another thing which irks me about the Cis People Taking Hormones columns is trans folk have long said "maybe a lot of folk would be happier with a slightly different hormonal setup to what their body produces"

A ton of house martins flickering around our place for the hour before sunset, after an afternoon in the park thick with cherry blossoms I can't not be corny about it because it was so magical

I made a "chimera selector" out of cardboard. I will draw temporary tattoos on people for an event so it is kind of my flash sheet.

Happy #portfolioday ! I'm an animation artist and illustrator who specializes in detailed lineart. I'm currently looking to take on more trad pub illustration work, especially fairytales and classics (my dream is to illustrate the Divine Comedy or Sleeping Beauty)!

I also accidentally knit half a shawl over the last week because I missed having an easy project - promptly fucked up my wrists real good, so the other half will be much much slower

Moss, moss, moss! Lichen! Lichen!

I am super pleased to have replaced the terribly worn hems and cuffs on this jumper! It's not perfect but less wonky than I feared given I have very little experience with machine sewing knits, and no serger. I was so worried about the neckline in particular and that came out great!

Afrori books needs to sell 1000 books in April or they’ll have to close. afroribooks.co.uk

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

When I put this on tumblr a few years ago, someone complimented me on the accurately drawn plantain (the weed not the banana) and thb I'm still riding that high

We want to hear from you! We dream about doing lots of things, but time and energy are limited, so we need to prioritise - what would be the most useful or affirming for you? We'd also love to expand the mask bloc to be able to do more, so if you're interested in joining, get in touch!

Muppet sighted! (yes this is my phone camera through a binocular lens, it's the clearest pics I can get)

Progress is being made! I had intended to add some purples but they are not pictured because I’ve not yet decided. Still no use case for this piece other than “Sometimes making a pretty is a nice change from screaming into the abyss as the horrors flicker on your timeline.” #CraftSky

Eeee I think some of my woad from two years ago is germinating!

Since people seem to be extremely into the horse-cake photo...here are his 30th and 31st birthday cakes, and a before-and-after of him eating a slice. There was always singing and sometimes balloons. He died just short of his 34th birthday, a good, long life for a horse. Give the horse cake!

So since we picked three cornered leek on Tuesday we've had it in salad, with potato as a soup, with spinach as a side, in banitsa, in butter, in pesto, and there's still like a third left

It's already felt very spring-like, but today I got smacked into he nose with freshly mown grass and petrichor smells, the ornamental cherries in the park are getting going, and I spotted a heron chick so we're really in it now

THORN PANSY, 2022. self-determination is a fundamental right & no "legal" attack on it can be allowed to stand. no excuses, no apologies.

articles that write about how "important" immigrant workers are to "the economy" without ever acknowledging that the reason they are important is that they can be treated worse for less pay

My apple orchard in bloom... and rusty old train tracks above it! This is my first time doing tracks on an aerial embroidery and I'm pretty happy with the effect; the flowering trees were a chore but I'm happy with them too! The last element to add is the allotment to the left 🥕🥬🌱 #landscape

Some of the small spot illustrations by Eric Fraser that accompanied the Radio Times magazine’s weekly listings for the BBC’s 1981 radio adaptation of Tolkein’s “The Lord Of The Rings”.

Love to have an address system where I can put in one order, it gets split into two, delivered by the same service but different vans a few hours apart, and the two drivers interpret the address differently so only one is actually at our door

What's he saying?

BEHOLD. My army of bottles!

Did you know this one was a pattern, it didn't really turn out how I hoped, but it does repeat

Oh, this is adorable! Duckling citizen science! (UK.) Going to repost this with alt text.

Incredible read here as always with The White Pube. And being on the beat I'm on I want to stress that mask bans are doubly dangerous, to health and privacy. Resist them, mask up at protests AND ELSEWHERE, because if everyone is masking then the cops will have to fucking stop being annoying about it
