  1. Is it #voodoo art? Is it a private colour therapy? I had been dealing with a chronically pinched sciatic nerve for quite some time, pain from hell. Then I saw this bone that my dog had found in nature. I wondered if my vertebrae could grin too like that. And I let myself be inspired. Red for the pain, of course. 😉 (The nerve isn't pinched anymore). Artists: My dog, an unknown animal, and me.

  8. I currently have filtering out posts with images and videos into separate categories but I'm thinking it would be nice to further filter images based on whether they are screenshots/memes/AIslop vs original photographs but I think the Mastodon file uploading process normalizes a lot of the useful metadata that could help such classification.

  9. Art can be a wonderful catalyst for emotions. I remember my little thriller box that I invented after I found the background image (more in the alt text). Given the current political situation, I immediately realise who my fictitious muffin-baking princess would fill into cans and send to Mars without return ticket. :blobcatknife: 😈

  10. @starfire it displayed in my (web on Ubuntu) but not in the Mastodon web client on Android.

  11. I serendipitously chose Fosstodon 5 years ago when joining the Fediverse. Lucky for me, it's still going strong, becoming one of the more lively instances while others have since shut down (victim of success); remains one of the few active Fediverse topics.

    Mastodon has an onboarding problem similar to Linux. Say "join Mastodon!" but 1st you need to find an "instance" (choose a distro). And there are many bad choices and footguns when you want to switch later to another one.

  12. This is how I follow* tens of thousands of accounts across 16+ foss-related Mastodon instances, downloading posts locally and filtering them like an inbox.

    *1. Follow in the sense of subscribing to statuses

  13. To all the pain monsters living and munching in vertebrae: This is your shrine. 🤭

    PS: Thanks to @eclectech who showed me that *everything* can have eyes. 😁

  14. Hej! 👋

    I've moved severs so that calls for a new #Intro!

    My name is @christian and this is my design project.

    I like to use computer design to help me create digital and physical pieces.

    My current interest is with paper, shadow, and light. ( Though I'd love to work with 3D printing and wood one day 🙏 )

    #Introduction

  15. Latest shadowbox done ✅,
    this will be a gift.

    6 x A4 layers, spaced out and backlit with LED.

    Inspired / based on the Tian Tan Buddha statue in Hong Kong, from this photo I took back in 2016:

  16. Final glue-up for the spacers and design layers. This bit always fills me with the most dread 😨

    It feels like I lose a bit of precision when fixing it all together - but I got there in the end.

    12 x Layers
    6 x 5mm Spacers

    Giving it some time to dry then I will be framing it up with the LED backlight panel, and we're done ✅

  17. "Cornell’s most characteristic art works were boxed assemblages created from found objects. These are simple shadow boxes, usually fronted with a glass pane, in which he arranged eclectic fragments of photographs or Victorian bric a brac, in a way that combines the formal austerity of Constructivism with the lively fantasy of Surrealism." #art #shadowbox #interactiveart #JosephCornell

  18. By the way, speaking of #Bowie I thought I'd share my recent shadow box that I made of my favourite #DavidBowie album. Admitedly hard to see the depth element in 2D. Planning an over ambitious 3 layer one of a Mr B video scene with internal lights too (way too ambitious?) . #ShadowBox #Music #AlbumCovers #Low

  19. Today I had another oddly disquieting inter-generational failure to communicate. It reminded me of the time I tried to explain Sears catalogue to my hairdresser.

    The strata council (a.k.a. home owners’ association board) that manages all things structural and mechanical in my building had arranged for all the fire alarms to be tested today. I knew that inspectors were coming and was ready for someone to come into my unit and test my smoke and fire alarms.

    The technician, who was tall enough to check the alarms in my ceiling without standing on a chair or a ladder, dutifully checked everything and declared all to be hunky dory. He explained that I should expect to hear the fire alarms tested later in the day but that I should not be alarmed; it would just be a test of the alarms. So, not at all alarming.

    Before he left my apartment, though, he pointed out a shadow box that I have on my wall and asked me about the object that I had placed within it. He wanted to know what it was. The conversation went something like this:

    He: What is that?

    Me: It is a darning toadstool.

    He: What is it for?

    Me: Darning socks. My mother used to darn my father’s socks.

    He: Ironing? She ironed socks?

    Me: No, darning. Mending.

    (At this point he looked completely baffled so I felt the need to explain using hand gestures.)

    Me: She repaired holes in socks by sewing. (My fingers showing the darning process, weaving a needle and yarn in and out.)

    He: OK. (But clearly not.) I have never heard of that before.

    This brought back memories of my childhood when my mother would knit socks for my dad using three double-ended needles in a circular fashion. He wore those socks every day, and when a heel wore a hole in a sock, my mum would darn it. The darning toadstool is one of the few things I have of my mother’s and it brings up warm memories.

    As you can see from the photos, it is a well-used toadstool. The picture in the back of the shadow box was taken at my parents’ wedding in 1932 and the medal was won by my father for wrestling (Olympic style) at the Pembroke Athletic Club.

    Both those items were significant in my parents’ eyes, but the humble toadstool has the most significance in mine.
