my kid correcting me about a dinosaur fact

Back to scanning artwork. Some originals will be on sale, some prints, and I’m starting to curate so I can put together the much vaunted exhibition I keep threatening… These will be in the 2026 Clarkive sale. Prices in alt if you want to reserve (DM me)! #art #bsnm #artforsale #originalart #artist

I do not use AI. I have no idea what Claude is. I would not notice if it disappeared.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

Double stringfoot removal for me & @pigeon-mornings.bsky.social today. This poor guy’s toes were blue (on the other foot) where the circulation was being cut off but luckily we were there at the right time. Look at those pink toes in the after photo. #pigeonsky #pigeons #birds

I unearthed an old portfolio of work that I used to take to craft fairs. Old photos, pretty awful & full of stuff I’d not sell now. Among the photos were these, they’re not great quality but it seems a shame to throw them so I’m offering to post (in the uk) for free is anyone would like them?

I have been too poorly to work for over a week but I’m finally on the mend! This is the bit where I try to sprint because I’m desperate to be doing, & ultimately put myself back 🫣 Although I haven’t been burning I have organised the charity auction & written a new poem 🙂

So, the band and I recorded this. It's the musical version of my novella THE BLUE SALT ROAD, with illustrations by @bonniehawkinsart.bsky.social. Check it out on Bandcamp... joanneharrisandthestorytimeband.bandcamp.com/album/the-bl...

GNU Ronnie Le Drew 🕯️ Here is my husband with the great puppeteer when we met him at a local Con. such a friendly person.

Been really enjoying these books too and swapped to the audio books around book 2 because I’d heard how great Jeff was as a narrator. It wasn’t an exaggeration. He really is one of the best in the business. Huge recommendation and very excited for the TV show.

Deeply cheering news that Jeff Hayes, who narrates – nay, *performs* – the fantastic Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman, will be in the Peacock TV show as Princess Donut. I'd never heard of these books last June. Now, I am ALL IN. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/d...

Tiny friend. 🐸 #frogs #nature #wildlife #garden

For the last few weeks my daughter, @pigeon-mornings.bsky.social, and I have been taught how to remove stringfoot from pigeons. Today we caught and treated our first one ourselves. What an amazing feeling to watch it fly off knowing that you’ve saved its toes! #pigeons #pigeonsky #birds #nature

This year’s auction to raise funds for @sewh.bsky.social This year I will be offering a burning of the Middle Earth map as well as a burning of the floor plan of the Green Dragon. I will be joined by some absolutely amazing artists who are generously donating their work.

A tiny frog for you 🐸 #frogs #nature #wildlife

A bit more burning done on Captain O’Malley but we are all struck down with a bug so I’ve had to admit defeat and retire to the sofa 😭 #octopus #art #pirates #pyrography #woodworking

My second burning, the floor plan of The Green Dragon, is finished for the art auction to raise funds for @sewh.bsky.social 🦔 This will only be available at this auction, 100% of the profits will go to the charity. The auction will be held in the facebook group- Artists raising money for wildlife!

The Middle Earth map is done. Official photos to follow another day. All hand burned onto the wood. This will be available in a Facebook auction to raise funds for @sewh.bsky.social in August. It will not be available outside of the auction so it’s a rare thing 😁 #lotr #maps #handmade #fantasy
