Finished my root system experiment. Made by starting with a full thread, splitting into 2, then again into 3. Decided to add a second grey layer under the white to give it some depth. Pretty happy with this. :)

@seblammers thanks for asking Seb.. bad day at work... more an expression of frustration than a cry for help.

@seblammers ha ha.. yeah. Cryptic. Because you want to scream something, but you really can't. I read today, that if you write your anger down and then shred/destroy the paper, it helps.. I might try it :) https://amp.theguardian.com/society/2024/apr/09/write-down-your-thoughts-and-shred-them-to-relieve-anger-researchers-say

Rare that these experiments come out "just right", but I'm really happy with the #hitomezashi stitching here. The #crossstitch material keeping me neat. Next, to add another colour and see if i can work around that inner circle... I realise I seem to be accidentally making an elaborate death star, but that wasn't the idea! 😅

@seblammers thanks.. yeah the vertical stitches are really boring, but then as you add the horizontal stitches, it's exciting to see the pattern emerge.

It's my birthday today (🥳) and I got a brilliant A4 press by @pookipresses. I love it. Did a very quick test print of these little particle polaroids and they are already 100% better than doing them by hand. Still need to master inking & pressure, but very promising!! #pookieclub #pookiepresses #linocut

@kristinHenry thanks Kristin! It's very neat!

@seblammers thank you seb!! Yeah, I'm really excited about the press. It's so neat and compact, but seems to work really well.

@mikebrondbjerg Hey! A colleague posted about these dice which can send configurable web requests. Thought you and your generative art may be interested! gamewithpixels.com

@mikebrondbjerg@vis.social avatar

@sally OMG!! I had no idea that was a thing! I am definitely going to get some of those! Hope they havecan open API, so we can hook them into any system!! Thanks Sally!

Good weekend of work. 6x9 set of d4 dice generated numbers translated into 54x3cm red triangles. The 216x1.5cm black triangles are the same d4 numbers set symmetrically over the red pattern. #generativedice #generative #linocut #dataviz #dataart

@seblammers thanks Seb! Hoped you'd like this one!

@mikebrondbjerg@vis.social avatar

This one took a bit of work, but really like the quilting feel of it. Took my earlier #Generative #linocut and added half size stippled black triangles. Rotation of the stippled triangles also set by the roll of a d4. #GenerativeDice #dataart #dataviz

@seblammers cheers Seb. I'm pleased, because a third dimension seems to have appeared out of combining 2 scales and textures. :)

More fun with #Generative linocut. Super simple tile. Rotated 4 ways dicated by D4 dice. #GenerativeDice

@mikebrondbjerg@vis.social avatar

@seblammers it is very simple. You totally should do a Seb remix!!

@mikebrondbjerg@vis.social avatar

@seblammers yeah, I know what you mean.. our brains are desperate to make sense of things aren't they.

mikebrondbjerg,
@mikebrondbjerg@vis.social avatar

@seblammers brilliant! Nice try. My triangles are much bigger. 3cm so that makes it easier. I've seen people buy bags of large flat pencil erasers and carve those. That might make a better mark.

Bluesky is now open to all.. join us! Or don't. Whatever.. https://bsky.app/profile/mikebrondbjerg.bsky.social

@kristinHenry @CedScherer I have no idea. All I know is it's not "the bad place" (yet?) and it has some good #dataviz folks there. But like I say... join us, or don't.. whatever. I'm still here and there. 🤷‍♂️

Hooray! Finished my Christmas #sashiko sampler. Really enjoyed it, but still lots of refinement needed. I pulled my threads too tight so it has distorted a bit. Going to try some smaller #GenerativeDice #hitomezashi patterns next I think.

@mikebrondbjerg@vis.social avatar

I think it's time to update my portfolio site after 5 years of neglect.. going to use #svelte / #sveltekit as a bit of a learning exercise. Any recommendations for a simple clean customisable "portfolio" starter template/repo? I'd also like to add an experiments/sketches section too. Thx!

@seblammers @maarten @collinsworth thank you all! With all this help, i'm actually going to have to do it now!! :)
