kerravonsen: Stone egg on moss: "Art is Life, Life is Art" (art)
[personal profile] kerravonsen posting in [community profile] naarmamo
Welcome to National Art Making Month 2021! Naarmamo rides again! Do not be alarmed, it IS the First of August in my timezone, even if it is the 31st of July in yours. Plus I woke up at like 4AM, consider me very restrained for waiting until 7AM to post. I thought it was better to post now, because I am planning to go back to bed and try to catch up my missed sleep. You have all day to do this. You can do this! You can MAKE ART! Post your pictures from 1st August as comments to this thread, or just describe what you made.

I am currently staying in a village where Leslie Hore-Belisha once lived. Belisha beacons were named after him, so I have made a small Belisha beacon from a balloon, paper and gaffer tape:

That's fun! And I really like the photo, too.

Yay, I remembered! I found a photo I'd taken a few years ago at a local park, and used it as photo reference to draw this calf. Graphite is messy, and so is my scanner, so I had to clean it up a bit, and while I was at it, I gave it a softly tinted background.

I need to look up what a Belisha beacon is, but I like how that looks! I wonder if you could reproduce it with something permanent?

I looked up the Dreamwidth faq- it says that Facebook images generally won't work. It's too much info to put in a comment, so here's the link for you to check it out yourself.

I haven't tried it, but apparently Dreamwidth will host images for account holders. Limit varies by account type.

thanks! I thought I'd have to find external web hosting which sounded like a lot of faff.

Pole is a moss pole (actually coir) for my monstera which I bought this afternoon.

Seriously cool, you look like something from a mystical comic book. The SHADOW STRIKES.

Way way back, LiveJournal offered lifetime memberships & I've been taking advantage of my LJ photohosting ever since. I just pretend I'm posting to my LJ and it gives me the code which I copy/paste here.

Note: the Dreamwidth photo host will only work on some sites- mostly journaling sites like LJ and DW. So if you try posting a DW hosted pic somewhere else and it doesn't work, it's probably because they won't allow it, not because you did anything incorrectly.
