"Great," the student said, "another princess coming to learn the sword instead of the needle."

"Leave," the swordmaster said to him. "Return when you have learned silence."

"I have mastered the needle," the princess said. "I wish to learn the sword as well."

"Both?"

She nodded.

"Both is good."

Yesterday I made these adorable mushrooms out of wooden buttons, wool, lace and pipe cleaner, as well as some cute embellishments!

I'll be selling them this Saturday, along with my art, at the Hex Market in Malmö!

#art #crafting #autumn #mushrooms

Three mushrooms made from wooden buttons, felt and lace are hanging from a tree. The rear one has an embroidered vine on the stalk, the others a single drop in the form of a bead hanging from the lace.

A row of 5 handmade mushrooms, the 3 in the centre each have a bead drop hanging from their lacy collars, and the outer 2 have green vines embroidered on the stalks.

A single mushroom hanging from a tree, made from a wooden button, wool and lace, with a green vine embroidered on the stalk.

my best artwork tends to be done because i am hoping deep in my heart that the person who receives it will be happy. i pay attention to details, i add extra touches, i try my best to think about the subject and i truly want nothing more than to connect with other people through my efforts.

I've made a comic adaptation of this story, with permission! Available to purchase in person over the weekend at Malmö Seriefest. I'm super thrilled to see it in print, and to get to share it with people! I will most likely have it available digitally after the weekend.

I'm working on a new game! It is a cozy and tiny wildpark management game, where you try to attract mysterious creatures and take photos of them!
Here is a work in progress of the planting mechanic!

I painted this Hollow Knight picture years ago for a friend, back before I had played the game myself. I've since fallen in love with it too and very excited to play Silksong!

I thought I should add some Alt text to this important message.

It's Mr. Rogers, saying the following as he draws some random thing:

"I'm not very good at it, but it doesn't matter. It's the fun of doing it that's important. No matter how anybody says it is, it feels good to have made something."

John A Dracula Cullen @nellucnhoj.bsky.social · Aug 9

I think, more than ever, these words from Mr. Rogers hold as true as the day he spoke them.

The plan was simple: sneak into the Knights’ headquarters, steal what they need, and get out before sunrise. But when the past catches up in the form of the boy he left behind, Blue must confront the memories that refuse to stay buried.

To put it bluntly, this is a fucking disaster. For consumers, for small businesses and artists, for everybody. The US is cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world and for what?? Even if this gets sorted out or walked back, it’s going to cause a major disruption.

Multiple postal services around Europe say they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid a lack of clarity over new import duties.

A scribbly painting made in yellows, pinks, reds and greens. At the centre of the image is a girl balancing on one leg, hands spread out to maintain balance. She is standing in a large plant pot, as if pretending to be a plant herself. She seems hesitant, or uncertain. She is surrounded by other potted seedlings.

Coming to the fair in Oct, @inkpangur.bsky.social's superb 'Dream Loop': A girl is caught in a loop of strange dreams - some absurd, some painfully real. Each time she thinks she is awake, she's still dreaming. What's keeping her trapped in this world of nightmares- and can she break free?

Actually, just normalizing it isn't enough. Demand it. REQUIRE it. Make whimsy the default. Put the onus on the unwhimsical, to replace their little mouse hinges with like, squares or whatever.
