    I made a piece called “Sad Hammer”. It was a cheap hammer that got overused and bent down and I thought it looks depressed, so I put it in a shadow box and hung it on my wall after visiting MOMA. I guess it’s really not that cool but I like it.

    I have a scifi novel. It’s circling right now in the first revision stage, but the story itself is complete and I feel good about it. Even filed for copyright. Now if I can just get back to work on it (rewriting sucks).

    I made a batch of really good salsa over the weekend. It took me hours (I’m disabled atm), but it was a really good batch with incredibly fresh local tomatoes, peppers and onions.

    I’m still working on it, but this is my first attempt at making something with clay. How cute it’s supposed to be for reference.

      First off, I’ll take yours over the one in the picture any day. There’s a roughness that comes from early amateur work that just feels more alive. Second, the one in the photo is a polymer clay, it was probably press molded and cleaned up for the photo.

      What material are you using? I’ve been doing ceramics and sculpinh for about 20 years now and I’d be happy to answer any questions or give pointers.

    I make songs. I’m not sure how to link to them or any of my artist profiles without doxxing myself but yeah. I make songs. It makes me happy.

    I’ve recorded a few audiobooks for Librivox, a group that releases free recordings of public domain books. I use my government name for them, so I won’t say which ones, but you might have heard my voice if you picked the right one from !audiobooks@literature.cafe

      Thanks for your efforts! 💗

      I’ve listened to 100s of librivox.org books over the past 15 years.

      The only name I can bring to mind right now is GreenKRI, who did some Aesop’s Fables and other readings. 🙂

      Excellent website.

      Thank you so much for your contribution, librivox is what got me into reading and helped me discover my dyslexia and I’ve always held anyone involved to a high regard for it.

    I’ve posted her elsewhere, but this is Teana. A few years back, my boy wanted a posable body for a Halloween Halloween monkey who’s head broke off. One rabbit hole later and I was knee deep in the ball-joint doll section of the 3d printing community. He and I decided we’d make our own but as monsters.

    The smoothing process for the white ABS I was using reminded me of my time working with porcelain and that’s how Teana happened. Eventually Id like to sew a little dress and pose her on my brick-a-brack shelf in a decorative cloche.

    More recently I’ve been building a mid century modern sectonal couch out of scrap lumber and a memory foam mattress. I’m far from a carpenter, didn’t even own saw when I started, but it’s coming together very nicely. It will look great with my TV.

    It was a later model zenith with a broken screen. It’s not the real wood style my parents had, the front is molded plastic, but it still feels nice. I gutted it, used a dremel to widen the hole behind the face, and nylon straps to hold up a cheap 32in from Walmart. I then disassembled an old tower and built it into the empty space inside and mounted a soundbar to echo off the back wall. The screen actually loses about 4cm off the edges became of the frame, but it feels more like the classic aspect ratio and that’s nice. Also I’ve yet to watch a movie that needed that area anyway.

    I’ve made four sci-fi novels, self-published them and am working on the fifth. I have been making sketches and paintings and done many exhibitions.

    I released a couple of albums, unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you’re looking at it, the great myspace purge of whenever the fuck that happened deleted their existence off of the face of the planet.

    When I was a teenager, I made a trebuchet. It was so fun. It was not sophisticated at all – just made of 2x4 with a steel rod as the axle. The axle was about 1 m from the ground, to give you a sense of its size. It wasn’t large, but it could throw things quite far (about 60 m).
