Problem: the pockets have ripped out on your lab coat.
Me (boring, lazy): Safety pins!
My student (creative, motivated): Sew it up and add awesome embroidery!

New Drystone Diary: Whose History Is Worth Knowing? From Great Zimbabwe to Sacsayhuamán to the famine walls of the Scottish Highlands. Who gets recognised and who gets erased was, and still is, a story told by the same people about the same people.

Look at what just came out of the kiln!
This is a brand new design. also new; using porcelain instead of stoneware for the first time-because a tile like this should be fancy.
more coming soon--waiting for the kiln to cool off.

Through a meticulous process of cutting and scoring paper, Marisa Aragón Ware creates delicate curves to imitate the volume of leaves or bones and defines feathers, insect wings, and petals with precise veins and edges.

@djsouthworth@wandering.shop
Big fan of puzzles, games and play. Have been handed the ownership of a small institute that explores games and play by hiding puzzles and treasure hunts in things. Lots of research, writing, designing and making. Four things I like to do. Other than hiding away in the institute, I like to be outside: up hills and mountains, in woods or near / on water. Exploring the ancient highways and byways scattered across the United Kingdom. Neurodivergent. Does not like being told what to do.

Got any creatives I can follow?
Printmakers, graphic artists, book designers, typographers, bookbinders, oil or acrylic painters, letterers, that sort of things.
I want my mastodon to be full of creativity and positivity and beautiful things.
Please help. And I’d love a share for reach! Thanks!!

I just finished making a mould for my new tile design---it's a goat 'admiring' a corn plant.
Mould on the left-sloppy test press with clay on the right.
other than one pesky air bubbly under the bird's wing (easy to fix) i'm happy with my casting!!! Hope you all are having a great day!

if you liked the cardinal tile I shared yesterday, you might also like this fox art tile that was in the same firing.

Once Upon a Page
(With thanks to writer T.A. Barnes for the title of this post.)
How many pages are in your current manuscript? Every one of them is a momentary story. A story instant. For your reader, that story instant is as important as the grand problem, the giant premise that you established in your opening.
Your reader is only once on the opening page. After that, it is up to each page to tell the story: not the big story—the overall plot, although it may advance that one step—but the little story of right now. This instant. You can bring story effects to bear upon this instant, or you can cruise along on the presumption that, once hooked, your reader will read anything you set down for hundreds of pages.
Do you think that’s likely? Nah, me either.

5 Tips for Taking Feedback to Help Your Writing Shine
Career Authors
by Holly Searcy As writers, we’ve all been there: You finish your story, you pass it to readers for feedback, and what do you get?

Writing Rituals
There is, reportedly, a clinically diagnosable condition known as hypergraphia. It is characterized by an intense urge to write or draw. People speculate that Brandon Sanderson, that prodigious producer of speculative fiction, has it; ditto Stephen King. Isaac Asimov, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Vincent Van Gogh, and Sylvia Plath have also been named as possible candidates for this irregularity, also known as graphomania.
I mention this condition only to report, sadly, that I do not have it. My list of brilliant, sure-to-succeed ideas for books far exceeds the time I put into writing them. I have no excuse for my lack of output other than that, at times, I just don’t wanna write.

I know a woman who just retired and does a lot of interesting crafts - ceramics, sowing, book binding and gardening - and she's tired of Meta. I think she would be an interesting addition to the craft community on the fediverse - and for all others who like to see images of craft. What platform (Mastodon, Pixelfed) and especially instances specifically would be an appropriate place for her to join?
