🌺If you are looking for something positive you can do right now for the #environment (that is also #antiFascist), because #ClimateChange and land use (habitat loss) are two sides of the same coin, find a 'Friends of _____' group and start to learn about #RestorationEcology. It's hard to see and interact with climate, but its very possible to develop relationships with the landscape, no matter where we live.🌱

🌲Restoration is a lovely, impactful way to build community around local natural spaces. The idea is to create and support (diverse) refuge areas that are resistant to human pressures. Patches of wilderness that can serve as a bridge between larger conservancies. Imagine a pit stop for #bees, #plants, #fungi, and #birds. Urban or rural. No matter how small. There are many approaches and no right one. It combines seamlessly with #NatureEducation and appreciation. Search for conservancies, natural areas, land trusts, state, county, or city parks. It doesnt have to be swanky: it can be the drainage way behind your neighborhood (the more local, the better).🪻

🌳There are also many many different roles to get involved in that can make it #accessible! Nature education and land use planning are severely under-utilized areas, as is citizen wildlife monitoring. You can grow plants for restoration in your garden or in your window. (Responsibly) collect native seed from areas of abundance and scatter it in bare places. If you dont know where to start, just learning plant names and their relationships is hugely rewarding, because you will start to see patterns in the landscape that will allow you to interpret and share with others (*chills*). 🌼

🌾I know people are stretched really thin right now, but #nature is so restorative and #EcologicalRestoration connects me to my neighbors. It provides an easy platform for broader community organizing, which seems relevant right now. We aren't separate from nature: we are a part of it. It always gives back more than we put in 🪷

I put this dandelion light up for sale! It’s the last one available, as the others have already been reserved. I’m offering a 25% discount because it flickers a little when touched or moved, but it generally stays steady when left in place.
I could have destroyed it, but it’s still a beautiful light. So, I offer anything with small defects at a discount instead.

A delicate glowing dandelion light is encased in a tall glass dome with a wooden base. Inside the dome, fine, wispy dried plant stems surround the light, resembling a glowing seed or a tiny sun caught in a tangle of branches. The scene is set against a dark wooden background, enhancing the warm, ethereal glow of the light.

got me some cold pressed 105 x 150mm sized postcards and did two spring themed test images.

the acrylic markers (base) + colored pencils (shading, accents) as in the snowdrop one works best so i'm pretty much going with those forward.
the magnolia one was at first watercolor + colored pencils but i changed my mind and redid the background with acrylic markers.

traditional drawing of a bunch of snowdrops. there's also some ivy leaves in a darker green and some reddish brown ivy vines as a contrast. the background is a mix of different muted colored circles. a reddish muted brown as a base, the circles are in a cold muted blue, different greens, some nude colors and some few muted pinks. also some white blobs.
drawing of a twig with budding leaves and three not fully opened magnolia flowers. there's also one still in it's bud form. the background is in a simple light blue color with white full colored and some pink border shaped rectangles. there's also some white circles, i guess i got bored of rectangles at that moment.

Something not music-related today! A couple of years ago I fell deeply in love with ceramics. I love shaping clay with my hands I love recycling and reusing it again and again. I love that I can shape it into almost every shape I can imagine and create art pieces for everyday use.

It is not a very accessible craft though since it requires a lot of space and some very expensive equipment - at least if you want to be making food-safe and watertight ceramics. So it took me a long time to get going and start creating the pots I imagined. My process is very slow and careful, sometimes it takes me months to finish a mug, bowl, palette or figurine. I am happy to have found a ceramic artist close to where I live who fires my work and happy to have a partner who is unbothered by the fact that I use our bathroom as a pottery studio sometimes, throwing wheel and all! :blobartist:

If you want to check out some of my creations, feel free to take a peek at my etsy shop: radiculacrafts.etsy.com

For now I want to present you with my new logo I designed, inspired by snowdrops, some actual snowdrops I spotted today and my most popular ceramic item: a small travel palette you can take on all your creative adventures 🎨

I'll be sharing more in the future, but am thinking about a separate pottery account for that, but maybe not? What do the more mastodon-savvy people among you you think? 🌱

A circular logo stamped in green ink on a sage paper card, it reads "radicula crafts" in an art nouveau font. The logo includes a stylized snowdrop flower. In the corners of the picture you can see a small ceramic painting palette, a piece of cardboard for packaging and a pair of scissors.
A bunch of snowdrops, fully opened nestled in fallen leaves. The photo was taken against the sun, so it's warm and bright, showing delicate and translucent the flowers are.

your auntifa liza 🇵🇷 🦛 🦦

on #bloomscrollling today all the flowers i’ve see been purple. am wondering if there’s something about purple flowers that they bloom in june?

or may be, it’s because it's my #birthday month. was reminiscing about my mom’s love for birthday parties and baking cakes. she used to say one of the perks of being mom is, CAKE!

my 5th bday was a purple party with a cake to match a lavender dress with white embroidery i was obsessed with.

i miss her so much. i get my love of silliness from her.
