Just read that a streaming service in Russia has changed My Little Pony to “adult audiences” because of their LGBTQ+ propaganda laws, so apologies for my brief break from festive pet wholesomeness to post a huge FFS about that.
Oh, and this, which immediately popped into my head, and some things are definitely better to just get out of there.
Right. Off to do sensible things. Happy to take suggestions for artworks that should contain a knitted chicken below. I've worked through my essential list 🖼️
This is a #watercolor painting I did a few months ago but hadn't share, until we bought a scanner here in #Greece. It arrived today, I scanned the painting under #Debian#Linux without any issues (or additional drivers), and I fixed the colors with #Gimp. It's the first time I use The Gimp for my paintings (I've used The Gimp on and off since its inception, but not for my artworks). I've been using #Photoshop instead for my collages and paintings, but I stopped my #Adobe subscription a few months ago. It's all #Foss now.
What if IVE had a spoopy concept??? and yes I know it ain't even close to spoopy month yet; I just really love horror concepts for some reason LOL
(Yay! Another IVE edit!)
spent a few hours on this one, and it was such a huge challenge finding the right photos and filters- especially that my wifi is already pretty bad! XD
update: made the edit look brighter because a lot of the details wouldnt show up on other screens :((
"Mother Nature's Pinwheel" A bright yellow sunflower, grown from a runaway seed dropped by a seed cake we set out for our wild birdie friends, took root and grew up in our garden this summer.
