Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you ✨
#artshare

A fully handmade Zelda themed leather shoulder bag on a black table. The bag is made from stiff leather that has been dyed brown. The shaped is kind of like a shield with a flat bottom, allowing it to stand. The side of the bag is made from softer, green leather. The bag has a flap, which closes with a bronze coloured lock. The flap is decorated with a tooled on image of a winged triforce with the mastersword behind the triforce. The decoration is painted bronze with a golden triforce.
The bag is surrounded by the strap made from the same brown leather. The strap is adjustable, with a buckle and four holes. The hole side has four differently coloured rupees tooled and painted on it, as well as Navi the fairy. On the buckle strap, there is a black rupoor.
The bag is about 30 centimeters tall. It is cut, dyed, tooled, painted, and stitched by hand by me.
Not visible is the backside, on which I tooled and painted five heart containers, of which 3.5 are full.

“I’m going to make a very serious character for this Curse of Strahd campaign.”

Makes Whoopi Goldberg from Sister Act but make it a twink in drag.

Two illustrations of a tiefling bard with olive skin, black curly hair and green eyes. On the left the bard holds his lute and smiles, wearing a white poet’s shirt, a long, purple tunic over top and dark breeches and dark boots. On the right, the bard holds his lute and has his eyes closed in a solemn song, wearing a nun’s habit with a yellow rising sun decorating the wimple.

Oh yeah I can see that. I wouldn't really know as I don't have them anymore 🥲

Some descriptions are not malicious but sooo poorly executed too. If you're made a very stunning drawing of a wolf, with bright colours, big contrasts, interesting composition, references to other works etc - and alll you write is "drawing of a wolf"... Yeah that's not it, buddy

Please add alt-text to your images, for the sake of blind and low-vision users who rely on screen readers.

Fascists are eugenicists. Accessibility is antifascist.

It's easy to forget or rush past adding alt text to your images, but there's a setting for that!

Settings > Accessibility > Alt text

Now you'll be prompted to enter a brief image/gif description so everyone can enjoy your posts. Plus your butt will look incredible, a true little known side effect.

What a fun skeet you posted. But how disappointing that it doesn’t have alt-text because it means I’m not going to share it.

Alaa could use some help. I sent $10 earlier and would love matches.

Vicky ACAB @vickyacab.bsky.social · 1d

Bombs are falling again in Gaza. Alaa is in the area where the bombing is heaviest. 45 people have been martyred. They are restarting the war with even less international attention. Please if you can support Alaa, she used what little internet she had to tell me this news and ask me to spread it

Your help are an investment in rebuild a woman and an architect

My name is Alaa, and I hold a Master’s degree in Architecture.

Violence to inanimate objects (eg: soft-toys) reveals cruelty in the perpetrators heart. Do not trust such people.

Zach Weinersmith @zachweinersmith.bsky.social · 4d

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Fabrycate leathercrafts @fabrycate.bsky.social · 1d

It always makes me very uncomfortable when people are violent towards stuffed toys and the like. Way too comfortable being cruel there, buddy. Even if the object can't actually feel it.
Especially do when there's someone there who said not to! Fucking rude doing it anyway

Disabled people are an oppressed and marginalized group. Ableism is a cornerstone of how capitalism functions. More people need to start acting like it.

And if you're the party that isn't leaving - pause it! Especially if they need to leave in a hurry for some reason. Rude to let it run without them

Fabrycate leathercrafts @fabrycate.bsky.social · 1d

Idk how common it is, but my friends bring their dead pets home for the other pets to see and say goodbye, before taking the body away to get cremated.
Not exactly the same, but it seems like a pretty good solution

"life of artist" is the longest copyright term I am willing to accept, and it should also apply to works for hire.

Exactly! Not at all comparable to crisps imo. There's different textures, shapes, and so many possible flavours! You don't see toothpaste being that inventive. Especially since Parodontax got nerfed.
I use a kids' toothpaste (with normal fluoride) for the flavour and it got changed into minty... 😭

Fabrycate leathercrafts @fabrycate.bsky.social · 1d

Too many choices can be bad (like why are there two dozen barely different peanut butters in my supermarket) but hey, chips isn't one of those cases!
You can pry the weird flavours from my cold dead hands.
Wacky crisps are one of my favourite little joys of normal life. Variety! Novelty! YUM!

Fabrycate leathercrafts @fabrycate.bsky.social · 1d

Oh woe, that is VERY cool!

Please consider adding alt text to posts with images next time! You can even turn on a setting that helps you remind to add them. It really helps people with no or bad sight!
