So. Does anyone know if BlueSky can be formatted to full screen on an iPad? It’s very frustrating with my poor vision to have it the size of a cellphone on an iPad screen. Am I just hopelessly (no pun intended) technically challenged, or is it only available in this format?

Indeed.

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

My theory is, if you buy enough art supplies, you don’t actually have to make the art…😂 (These smell so pencilly good!)

One of my older mixed media assemblages. Saw blades, wooden bowl, polymer clay, metal industrial waste scrap.

Just getting started and trying to figure everything out.

I just deleted the app and am now going just through my browser.🤷🏼

Help! I opened my account. Then I downloaded the app. Now I can only get the tiny format meant for an iPhone and I can hardly see it, much less type in it. How do I get back to the larger full-page format? The small app format opens even when I open Blue Sky in my browser.😫

My back yard, which I call #BACK40, because it’s the back 40’ of my standard boring suburban lot in a standard boring subdivision in Metro Detroit.
