  It's too wet & stormy to work in the garden today... So I'm finishing up a couple of the stela design figurines that I had cast with some embedded beads & old jewelry. One I've dubbed "Abundance" is nearing completion, and my beta test for Brighid of Scotland is...trying to manifest. Putting my dad's family tartan as part of the design is going to be challenging. #Handmade #WIP #Scotland #Tartan

  This latest beta test has had so many problems. I got a mold for some very cute fairy doors. They did work with plaster, yay! But there were no solid back shadow boxes at the store, so I took one with slats... This led to a cascading set of issues. Then I made a bad decision on the background image, which made things worse, lol. Stay tuned for the finished beta test. I think it will look ok but don't know if I'll do that one again. #WIP #MastoArt #FediArt #Art #Craft #Decou...

  "Do the Moon and Planets Affect the Timing of Solstices? The 2026 June solstice comes 365 days, 5 hours, 42 mins after the last one.

  I just found out that GoDaddy apparently whacked up pretty much every one of the links, and many of the descriptions, in my Gallery on my webpage. I just spent HOURS fixing it all (hopefully). If you have GoDaddy, you should check your site. I think they may have used some AISlop on it. #GoDaddy #Website #Marketing #Art #MastoArt #FediArt #FediGiftShop

  The latest beta test is Brigid of Scotland. Since it's wildly unlikely most of you share my family clan, you should take this as an example of the design, not the particular colors yours will be. Order a bespoke Brigid in your choice of tartan or solid colors via Artisans Co-op: https://artisans.coop/products/brigid-of-scotland If you'd rather pay with Paypal, Square, or Venmo, send me a DM and I'll give you a Fediverse Discount! #Goddess #Brigid #Scotland #Tartan #Fe...

  What AI Slop proponents get wrong is that Art is not a thing in itself. Art, Music, Crafts, even householding and gardening, each have their meaning and fulfillment and their spirit from the process, the act of creating it. If a machine hallucinates it, it's not art. It's art-like vomit from an heartless, soulless, ignorant machine that cannot endow it with any spirit or any meaning.

  Spent today re-organizing my workspaces. I have some things I want to give away to the local ReCreate craft supplies shop, and a few things not worth donating. But overall, I just needed things to be in logical and accessible places, not based on size (as before) but based on frequency of need. I think it will work much better now.

  Meet Abundance! She is cast plaster with an embedded piece from a vintage bracelet. There are only a few of these beads, so she's also a limited edition offering - each one will be one of kind, with some variations in the detailing and paint.

  You might remember a week or so ago I posted what a hard time I was having with my fairy door shadow box beta test. And much to my pleasant surprise, it actually came out very pretty well after a bit of wailing and gnashing of teeth. I'm not sure I'm going to put in on the Artisans Co-op page, but if you'd like a copy, I now have some solid back boxes and can make you one. DM me to let me know. #Art #FediArt #MastoArt #Handmade #HandCrafted #NoAI #Decoupage #ShadowBox #Judaica
