It’s #mailArt time again!
Printed one of my old mandala designs and then hand colored.
Sadly i completely forgot to take a photo of this month’s mail art so y’all will have to do without next month 🙁

Hzzah! It is time to show off June’s #mailArt!!
This was a super fun #linoCut to not only draw and carve, but i think i may have finally gotten down the proper ink thickness/consistency!
I may be adding prints to the shop eventually, but not until after the heat breaks.
#alienBlockPrints #cats
Become ungovernable
Recent-ish print, pretty happy with how it came out
GRACK!
You can tell is spring: the Grackles are out in force yelling at everything and making video game sounds trying to get the ladies’ attention

Mushroom Mushroom!
was trying something a little different with this one & drawing & then carving was a bit weird but it turned out really cool.
will be listing the cards on ko-fi in the next week or so.

:: deep breath ::
beginning sketches always look a hot mess, & then I’m always a bit nervous to start laying down the ink because it’s so hard to envision the end
Made especially bad this time as i will be trying something “weird” for the muscovy’s caruncle, & I’m not sure how well it will work

Every time i notice the (amazing) flood of portfolio day posts on my feed i tell myself that i should participate next time it comes around, but then i don’t.
Partly because i don’t actually know the official day, but also… like, i hate having to do intro type posts and double hate self promo.

This year, as a joint Bday present (our birthdays are a week and a half apart) @wplalonde@lgbtqia.space and I have gotten ourselves an air fryer!
We already have several recipes queued up to try, but I figured I’d widen the pool...
What are your personal favorite vegetarian air fryer recipes?

getting ready to send out March's #MailArt and stickers today, and I guess i should get around to posting February's, eh?
(apparently national "do a grouch a favor day" is in February, and Oscar is one of my fav muppets)
The Llama's favorite shirt recently developed a small patch of holes on the back.
being a favorite shirt meant that we couldn't just leave it, so we discussed options & a small Ladybug was settled on.
the inner patch is from an outgrown shirt of similar pattern
the stitching is a bit messy as this was my first time working with waste canvas on doubled t-shirt material. but we are both very pleased with the outcome.

@SJohnRoss I thought it was between the series and Serenity? So kinda a continuation of the series, but not the cannon end, so we are guaranteed to have everyone alive throughout
(Although i could have misread and let my hopes get away with me…)

One of my favorite ways to use it is to boost art and my thoughts on how it makes me feel and why i like it, rather than contextless reposting.
Another use is when the post inspired thoughts that are only tangentially related, or long and rambling, that might not really fit in the op’s replies, but you want to include the op for context.

@beadsland@beige.party @beandreams@friendhole.social I wonder if @ajroach42@retro.social knows much this?

@jellycrystals Go cruise through the mastodon.art timeline until you find someone who’s style you like?
(Or ask @Curator for a boost)

Is also worth keeping in mind that one can also turn off boosts by individual users, so while boosting is nice, it’s not a ‘foolproof’ way to get followers to see something. Same as if they do not follow the original poster, that will not see your replies to them.
But boosting a post with commentary is a great way to ensure fillers will not only see the post but your thoughts as well

but if the post you are making is not 100% related but only referencing the quoted post for context, the reader then has to navigate BACK to your post to be able to continue the conversation.
i know of many people that get very annoyed when people create tangents in their replies that aren't strictly related to their posts, muddying the conversational waters and blowing up their mentions with stuff they don't care about. this is a way to keep that from happening.
