Rented The Boy and the Heron, Miyazaki’s latest film. I intentionally didn’t look up anything about it. Starts slow, then gets a bit creepy, then full on Ghibli fantasy, and more info that wraps all the partial info you’ve been given into something that makes sense. If you like Howl’s Moving Castle, I think you’ll like this one. If you want the original Japanese with English subtitles, I know renting from Apple will work because that’s what I did. Amazon looked like only the English dub, but not sure since I specifically wanted to hear the original voices. #filmstr #ghibli #movie #review #miyazaki

Went out to see the Pink Moon tonight. This full moon is also a micromoon, which will look smaller than usual because the moon is close to its farthest point from Earth. The pink is associated with flowers that bloom in the Spring, not the color of the moon itself. Not a great photo, but the moon definitely looked smaller than usual. #moon #fullmoon #photostr #astronomy

As a #teastr this feels so wrong. 😑 #coffeechain

Boyfriend is off shopping. I have tea and a brownie. Later there will be laundry and cleaning and packing. For now, there is another episode of Tracker. #ga #saturday #tvstr #tracker

One of the many aspects of your life Art can enhance- seeing with different eyes. When I was a teenager taking oil painting lessons, I remember the first time I didn’t see a row of trees; I saw all the shades of green and started mixing paint colors in my head to try and match what I saw. #art #artstr #artthoughts #seeingisbeing View quoted note →

It’s cupcake time!!!!!! 🧁 #foodstr #cupcake

So my initial idea for the @NostrArtstr April art challenge of Celebrating Cycles was to create a Möbius strip with art representing the seasons on both sides, then cut it in half, because that’s the cool part of a Möbius strip. Except I really like this one side as is. I want to keep it as is, to remember what I learn while creating it. And it still fits and completes the monthly challenge for me. So here it is, in its final form …. This is an 18” x 2” (45.72 cm x 5.08 cm) strip of rice paper. Actually two strips of rice paper glued together, because I was going to art the other side. Art supplies used: Distress Inks, archival ink, stamps, watercolor, 2B pencil, white Posca pen pen, metallic Sharpie pens, white acrylic paint, a failed attempt at using texture paste, Stabilo pens which are Definitely Not waterproof, a 005 Micron pen, ruler, French curves, and an MB Pigma pen which is Definitely waterproof…. and that’s why most of the art I create is called mixed media (AKA anything goes). 😁 PS. If anyone else needs permission to stop a project you’ve created for yourself because you like where you are, this is it. ✅🏁👍 #nostrartstrApril2025 #artchallenge #art #artstr #nostrartstr #rustypuppyart #cycles #mixedmedia

I keep watching the Murderbot trailer. Not the voice I expected, takes some getting used to, but I think I’m going to love it. 🦾 10 eps which cover the first novella, All Systems Red by Martha Wells. #tvstr #murderbot #appletv #scifi #sciencefiction #riseandfallofsanctuarymoon

Proof of concept for my @NostrArtstr April art challenge complete! 👍 Now to try the real thing with calligraphy rice paper. #nostrartstrApril2025 #artchallenge #art #artstr #nostrartstr #rustypuppyart #cycles #grownostr View quoted note →
