Rain! And cool enough weather I opened the patio door and windows to get some fresh air in the house, because that hasn’t happened since May. #rain #weather #footstr

Sharing Past Art… 7/7 Last note about these past collages. There’s more in the book, but the ones I’ve been sharing represent the range I had at the time. It was really interesting to review these, especially compared to the collages I did this June-July #artchallenge #indexcardaday #dyicad2024 which used less supplies and were more intricate in terms of cutting. 2 spreads from my handmade book with mixed media backgrounds and collage foregrounds as notes from the Camp Calm online meditation class in 2022. #art #artstr #collage #campcalm #rustypuppyart

Sharing Past Art… 6/7 1. I’m sure I intended something cool with the letters but I’ve completely forgotten what it was, so maybe it wasn’t that great after all. 2. Chill little frog amidst the wind and waves.

Happy National Dog Day! Find your good boi and let them know they are loved. #dogstr

Day 4 of ? From memory. I like where I am with the 1A.1 Topiary practice card, so moving on to a new one tomorrow. Straight lines are much better, undulating lines still need work, so I’ll stay on the first Hand-Eye Coordination practice card for another day or two. Keeping practice time to 10 minutes. #drawing #practice #dailyhabit #artstr #daribodrawing

Charcuterie spread, with homemade (from grain!) baguette by my sister. Also, red grapes and dill havarti go amazing well together. #foodstr #bread #retirement #happymonday

Day 3 of ? Used the full 10 minutes on the loops line from Hand-Eye Coordination practice card. Much more difficult than I thought it would be. 😳 Also, much more difficult writing left to right, even though it’s still my dominant hand. 🤔 Found myself really tighten up on my pen grip…. and somehow created an ache in my forearm?! Drawing is not for the weak. #drawing #practice #dailyhabit #artstr #daribodrawing

Sharing Past Art… 5/7 1. Titian Mode - Titian is a “very warm and reddish brownish-orange colour” named after the 16th century painter. Titian mode is an anagram of meditation; my attempt at gamification because “Engaging Titian Mode!” 🦸 appeals to my genre brain more than “I will practice meditation.” 🧘 2. When feeling prickly, stop and smell the flowers.

Synchronicity: finding a delightful animated bread music video the day I’m meeting with my sister … to pick up some of her homemade bread. 🍞🥖🥐🎶 #nostronly #breadandtoast #art #artstr #grownostr #animation #tunestr #proofofwork View quoted note →

Day 2 of ? 5 minutes each practice card. Time enough to accomplish something and not get bored with the drill. Win-win. 👍👍 #drawing #practice #dailyhabit #artstr #daribodrawing

Feeling rich. Bought art supplies and a McLaren. #artsupplies #car #rich #nostrlife

Another step in the on-going Nostrfication of my life … my @Npub.pro website is in my profile and I added that URL to my IG profile:

Rustypuppy

Rustypuppy

Author. Artist. Introvert. Nostr Artstr Challenges Host.

After going all out on tag nav, I scaled it back to art and links to the #nostrichnovember art challenge and my designs on Threadless. Once I start posting my writings (microfiction and novel chapters), I’ll add those to the nav. If you don’t have an npub.pro website, definitely check it out. Great way to share you Nostr stuff (and intro the decentralized own your content concept) with anyone who’s not ready to leap into a client. 💜👍 #nostronly #grownostr #website #npubpro #artstr #creator #nostrwriter

Just a little test text note as I play with settings on my npub.pro website. Nothing to see here. Move along. #notavalidhashtag
