Cover for THE TRIDENT AND THE PEARL -- upcoming romantasy book by Sarah K. L. Wilson.

Really proud of this one, especially of all the water caustics. And it's always a joy to work with Sarah!

That time to watch Rocky Horror again while giving out candy..

This movie used to be UNAVOIDABLE on Halloween, now I just spent real time finding a subscription service that actually had it...

Pushing myself to be able to recognize more constellations by sight.. I can name & spot embarrassingly few for the 4 decades Ive been alive..

Learned a new one this week 🌟

Craft, paint, code, carve, rebuild, whatever -- keep your hands busy and constructive! Pull your emotions, worries, and thoughts out of your mind and channel them into something new and tangible (of any quality)

My best advice to try to get a handle on shit right now?

Make something.

Don't care what. Don't care if it's good. Don't care if it's just a big ass house you made in Sims 4, just lose yourself in something for an hour or so.

It' s like flushing the brain toilet.

Bouncing between these 3 games is an extremely peaceful and enjoyable flavor of escapism.

Was trying to catch a good picture of this monarch when another swooped into view, diving at the feeding butterfly for territory-
I managed to catch this single unedited pic with my phone and bad reflexes, capturing both monarchs in the same shot and getting a decent look at the wings

Photo of 2 butterflies on chaste tree with clear blue sky background. One monarch is on a flower, the other is flying in with wings spread wide

I feel like we need to update our constellations because of sky glow.
New shapes visible in suburban skies, merge dimmer areas, modern simple names.

Mortar and pestle days are the best days

It's been kinda fun trying to where's-waldo myself in the various footage posted online.. here's the best picture I've found so far. Several folks asked for permission tho, eventually one should surface with my actual face.

Promise the feed will now go back to arts, crafts, nature, and blender.

Hello everyone! Here's a little bee #scape for #stunday 💛🐝💚

#SundayYellow #photography #bloomscrolling #bees

A single bee with its leg bulging with pollen flies towards a bright yellow flower. Behind and above it two branches from the same plant form a V, with yellow flowers on the left and darker green buds on the right.

There was a tense-ish moment with some police verbal warnings, but yes overall peaceful and hopeful.

Attended the No Kings protest today with hundreds of others in Frisco Texas today. There was overwhelming support from passing motorists.

I'm briefly visible in the background of the wfaa news coverage, but didn't take any selfies (of my own) today to share with y'all

Approximately half of the chaste (aka vitex) berries of my first harvest, drying in the sun.
They've already been washed, dried for several days, now peeled and left to dry for a few more days.

I'm still cleaning the other half, it's wildly fussy but calming too.
🌱🌿

Photo of many little seeds on a net which is on a grate, all of which are being anchored by stones in bright sunlight.
The seeds are for herbal medicine, specifically for female hormone regulation. They'll become a tincture eventually.

I picked up Manor Lords- finally. Having fun, hence most of my recent silence.

Also playing Medieval Dynasty again. MD is co-op, but I still haven't found a partner to play with....
What have y'all been playing recently?

This particular one caught me- then I realized it's because approximately 80% of my wardrobe I've sewn falls under these shades..
I live in these colors.

A color palette by Folk & Fae, with 5 warm autumn colors in green and gold-brown tones. The pictured background using these selected colors is floral.

We also attempted growing Weld this year - this was the only one to sprout from the pack, finally doing well

Next year will either harvest for yellow dye, or let it go to seed and try again for larger crop

Photo of a first-year Weld plant, in a garden planter. It has long thin leaves that spread out in every direction, slightly rippled and curving, smaller leaves in the top center.

The plant is grown for natural dye, specifically yellow.

Also from sometime last year, when I was going hard on cartoony water. Here's a little patch of anime-style ocean doing some un-ocean-like things.
