Smart thermostat however ...middle of winter, stuck to the couch for 6 hours cause of a nursing baby and I could control the temperature from a different floor? is the best day thing heh.

I dislike smart stoves and washers and fridges. We do use Google home to mess with lights in the house.

Three sketches on brown paper. Drawn in black ballpoint pen. One is a rabbit with many eyes, next is a crow with eyes on their wings, and the last is a raccoon with a witch hat

landscape of branches and roots growing around a small puddle of water. a blue raven stands above it with a feather in his beak, peering down into the water.

three small abstract landscape paintings. Green seaweed looking one, a green stone formation that can be a city or forest, and a green and yellow natural formation that can be a leaf breaking apart

Two book cover paintings. a blue one with a man and a sword, looking tired and worn, and a burnt hand besides him. the background is abstract shapes hidden by misty swirls.

The second image is of a city. There is a crowd of people that are just forms, and one man standing out in a red trenchcoat and white eyes staring at the viewer.

dark blue landscape of two woods meeting for a conversation. It can also possibly be a single tree split down the middle.

A black and white portrait of a woman in a fancy dress. The portrait is in a fancy frame. The top corner is covered in shadow and blood stains.

A young woman holds a candle while looking up at a multi-eyed, toothy creature. She gently pets it.

Screenshot from The Last Winter Knight. A knight is slumped forward in front of a stone wall. Light shines on their back.

Thank you! That's some of the fun part, poking and picking out little textures in the edges.

thanks :)

One of my fav classes in college was the history of design (where Art Nouveau and Art Deco, etc fall under)

Lately I've been very partial to Max Ernst's work for the landscapes.

Laura the Spookiest of Ducks @fallenlights.net · 13h

He looks better there than in a stack next to my work table! Glad he's got a home :D

Hopefully I'll find out about the album cover soon that he'll be on, but someone had reached out over the summer.

An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together.

A man curled over onto his elbows, his head in his hands, amidst green leaves. A glowing, luminous dagger dangles above his neck and spine. His hands are cupped and outstretched towards the sky. Luminous liquid slips through his fingers.

A small child holding a bunny rabbit stuffed animal standing in front of a line of darkened forest. Inside the forest are lots of glowing sets of eyes

An oil painting of a foggy, monochrome forest with a singular man with glowing eyes standing in front of it. Before him are multiple shadows of wolves, their eyes glowing in the darkness as well.

I also sit outside and take photos of my garden, which attracts lots of bees and butterflies. The raccoons and possums show up at night (we have a night camera that snaps their picture).

Everything in this group actually exist out there in the world :)

The Backwards Knight, the first novel of my Eldritch Remnants series, awaits you. Very well received so far, you do NOT to want to miss out on this.

A snarky knight, a stabby princess, and a farm boy marked by magic. What could go wrong?

Signed copies: backwardsknight.bigcartel.com

My only "complaint" was it wasn't spicy enough but I think it was our apples. (Not really a complaint lol)

Bonus if you have a compost pile, or possums. They like the mush once it's all drained.

My husband apparently made the WrOnG cider.

It's just the regular cider. Like you buy by the gallon at the store. But the farm didn't HAVE any while we were there so he made some.

It's good. He gave us more reasons to go apple picking next year.

Husband and I started putting up the skeleton with no name.

I was sad, he was sad. Didn't have time until today

Well, apparently, so we're our neighbors.

Like 6 people stopped as they drove by and went "Yaaaaay I missed the skeleton, it makes me so happy to see him!"

Soon.

Headless twelve foot skeleton laying on green grass with cheerful blue sky. The road is under construction.

Waiting on a piece to be 3d printed before putting on the head and standing it up

Something a little different: Girl Scouts has started up & my daughter's troop has their 1st fundraiser. They were able to cover their troop fees from last year's support!

They've got their bronze award this year, which is a project to help the local community
