I grew up in a small suburb that was surrounded by farmland - now it’s got several times the population, 1 dead mall, and the innumerable new townhouses start at $450k. Even the downtown bowling alley where I took bowling in high school is being torn down to put in more townhouses and condos.
The Fair has remained one of the Official Calendar Events in town though.
The Fair was always a big day at school for me growing up because everyone had the entire day off and EVERYONE went to the Fair. Great times! Took my son to the Fair several times and had a blast.


Fairs are great! I remember always having a day off school in September every year for Fair Day.


Looks awesome so far!    Can’t wait to see how it goes!

Proof of work for this evening. Made a sign for my face painting table.  I always paint faces on the weekends at my friends’ farm this time of year (Taking a break for Nostr Valley this year though).      They have a pumpkin patch, a corn maze, local honey and cider and tons of activities. Just good clean fun for the family.

Paradoxically, the tendency to equate quantitative popularity on social media with qualitative connection with an audience has become the rule rather than the exception to it.
People furiously over-share their pictures, videos, and writing to as many avenues as possible, hoping that The Algorithm will be a sort of passive matchmaking service.
They feel emotionally drained and over-worked, since sharing themselves has become a job in itself.

24” x 30” Mixed Media Canvas Update: image transfer tests

Day 4 & 5 of the #The21dayProject

I watched a video by Laly Mille, my favorite mixed media artist, on how she uses matte gel medium to do image transfers.

And tried out the process with some papers I have as a test for possible layers on the big canvas.

1. Test supplies

2. Test canvas board with acrylic paint as first layer

3. Papers glued face down then heat gunned to dry because I’m impatient like that.

4. Images transfers successful. Took a few tries to get all the paper off (used an old plastic gift card because I couldn’t stand the squishy screechy noise the sponge made) but I like what I see and am going to try both the origami paper and the printed copy paper on the big canvas.

Next will be image transfer on the big canvas and “road” work.

If you want to follow just this art project, you can check out the #mountainroadartwork hashtag.

For those who enjoy taking a sketchbook or journal  along with them on their travels, I also make these single-pocket holders custom-sized for just about anything.
The cotton canvas is sturdy and washable as well. I can also add a belt loop.
Smaller versions of this style could also hold a #hardwarewallet if you want to take one with you but not just have it sitting in your pocket.
I have tons of colors & patterns for the interior fabric and can add thick padding as well. For the outside, I’ve got gray, black, brown and orange.

Here is the first drawing I ever did of a pair of Jordan 1’s after I saw them in school. I got several things wrong on them because I had just seen them that day. But it was what I thought I saw.
Over the years I kept drawing sneakers, but the black Jordan 3’s were my favorite of all time.
These are the Jordan 3’s that I received today as payment for a completed project. Owning a pair of these shoes has been  one of my bucket list items before I knew what a bucket list was.

I started out just posting pictures and adding #artstr to the description so my pictures would be easier to find.
Now I’ve got a small gig going here  selling roll-up holders for pens, pencils, watches, etc. I sew them to order in different fabrics in exchange for sats.

Good Morning everyone! Today is going to be a tough one for me. But I am going to start it right.


Beautiful work!!

Good morning everyone! Fall weather is here, so let’s get out and enjoy it as much as possible!


Come on folks, it’s a percolator.
Back when I was a kid, there was a song called “The Percolator”.
The lyrics were easy to follow and remember, and they go like this:

It’s time for the percolator.

It’s time for the percolator.

It’s time for the percolator.

It’s time for the percolator.

It’s time for the percolator.

I know how you feel. It’s a tough path selling arts and crafts because so many people are so tight-fisted with their money and have a “how dare you!” attitude when you say that your stuff isn’t free.


Since I have had epilepsy for 2+ decades I haven’t driven in a long time. So I walk, take a bus, or get a ride if need be. It’s not bad at all.

So sad that a mall I worked at years ago is now abandoned. I really enjoyed working at a mall.


I know right .. I wonder if it’s a sensible electric vehicle or one of those ancient autovoiture of bygone days powered by the so-called “internal combustion engines”?
For the Herculean task of Port-A-Potty transport, I should hope the former, as the carbon footprint of a poop container-holder is already massive enough!


I am the only Hot Wheels owner I know that has a Poop King.

A masterpiece is a piece of art that is never done saying what it has to say.

It’s eternal. It speaks to people long after the author is dead.

Bitcoin is a masterpiece.


That’s a hilarious pattern! I remember learning how to cross stitch when I was in elementary school.

Fantastic work!! What did you use to do this drawing?


Definitely agree. I was just talking about getting a quick cup of coffee.

There is actually a store where I get some fantastic whole bean coffee, the only thing is that it’s not within walking distance (can’t drive due to epilepsy) so I have to take a local bus to get to it.

https://www.baltcoffee.com/


There’s a 7-11 near me where a Large coffee is $2.

Then, 50 feet away in the next shopping center is Starbucks, where a Venti (Large) coffee is $4.

No other information needed.
I don’t roast my own beans.
I buy cheap coffee.


I’ve had my right temporal lobe and the right half of my hippocampus removed in an attempt to treat my epilepsy.
This has impacted my ability to remember things in order and locate objects when I put them down.
I frequently will misremember lyrics to songs or conversations I’ve just had or find random things that I had forgotten I even lost.
Maybe it’s a psyop.

PSA: If your relay does not support NIP-09 (event deletion), I am removing it NOW.

NIP-09 respects the fact that privacy-conscious folks may not want everything they post on Nostr to be archived on a permanent record.

Did we not learn anything from Snowden?

In garnet and Amethyst, go to your relays and tap on the name to see the NIPs each relay supports.

The ability to delete events is not just about "not owning up to past comments"; it also respects the fact that among many potential issues (including malicious relays), people may accidentally doxx themselves and want that post removed. This can be especially dangerous for women who are dealing with stalkers or abusive exes, etc.

Using relays that do not respect users' requests to delete events poses significant privacy and potential safety issues, and I will not continue to support the reluctance of relay runners to adopt and honor NIP-09 event deletion requests.


If I come across a hot wheels Tesla I’ll send it to you in exchange for some sats!

I don’t have any experience with starting up a project other than my own little business, but I can say from my experience it’s hard as crap to make it profitable.
My dad was a banker and a brilliant artist. His paintings were exhibited in galleries and sold for $2000+ back in the 80s-90s, but the costs were phenomenal.
To have them professionally framed was $400. The gallery took 50% of the sale as their fee. nostr:note1gf6y5va70nwkp89ed9sungtjsyjfysds9msn3vh7qcz9hdnr32fql36gsd

Collecting Hot Wheels is all about finding them in unexpected locations and they’re always cheap.
No I’d never pay hundreds of dollars for a really expensive original model of whatever.

Picked up a LeSablier Aviateur VQ at Watches & Whiskey this past weekend.
The AVQ is a simple two-hand time-only quartz watch with a 24-hour dial and sapphire crystal.
The minute hand makes a complete rotation around the dial every 60 minutes; the hour hand runs at 1/2 speed and thus tells the time in a 24-hour format. Super affordable as well!
 They have several other automatic models that are really worth serious attention - price-wise, they’re fantastic, great movements as well. The finishing on their watches is AWESOME.

A buddy of mine started working  from home at a new job and is doing training classes on a computer provided by the company.
He was taking an online training test and was “called” into a one-on-one call where he was told he was fired.
His remote work computer locked instantly and his password no longer worked.
He asked the person on the phone what the issue was because he passed the training test, he was told they’d look into it.
A moment later, his computer was unlocked and he was told to finish the day and that everything was fine, it was just a mistake.

I was being sarcastic


And lo and behold, not one but two (2) sweet bots instantaneously liked my post there because I said bitcoin.
And that’s the magic. Ever wanted two folks to follow you around wherever you go? Now you have that power too.
All you have to do is say

Bitcoin

and *snap* there’s the aforementioned buddies.

While that may not be a Dollar Tree life hack, it sure as heck is something that the Fediverse lacks, I bet.


Well, a search for #bitcoinfixesthis   was nothing less than a game changer for me.
You see, with bitcoin, YOU TOO can enjoy spectacular views of an island paradise, drive a fast, beautiful car, and eat world-class food served in tiny portions on large plates.
Not to mention that Nostr is awash in beautiful, brilliant women who can construct complete, self-sustaining homesteads in the middle of nowhere in less time than it takes a normal city-dweller to cross town for a slice of pizza.


I am certain that I’m supposed to have a clever retort about how Bitcoin Fixes This but I’m fresh out at the moment.
Maybe a search for #bitcoinfixesthis  will yield better results.
Back in a flash.


Dude whatever works for you. 👍  oh make sure you hodl btw, all the cool kids are doing it.


Plain ol’ greenbacks in hand is how I’ve always, ALWAYS, handled art business until I hopped on Nostr.


Honestly I quit Nostr a couple times because I felt like I wasn’t getting much feedback about my art. I decided to give it another shot recently though, and I’m really glad I did.
I was surprised when I started posting my sewing stuff that people seem to like it , but I’m not a developer, hippie, pepper or survivalist. I don’t own a boat or a car. I even eat vegetables with my dinner. I sort of feel like an outsider here.

Well, think of it like traffic approaching road construction.
You know things are always happening, but it’s more noticeable when three lanes of traffic begin slowing down, then they become two lanes, then one lane to allow room for the construction to take place.

here’s a vector version of that sketch I did a few days ago:

https://i.nostr.build/wBmz4L8lxIA0IPYP.jpg


As far as adding “str” to the end of a word, it’s just because it’s Nostr. There isn’t any deeper meaning, it’s the closest thing to a “trend” that exists here.
Since there’s no algorithm to automatically sort and dispense information to you, we create our own categories and I suppose adding “str” was just something that someone started doing a couple years ago that people still do.
That’s not to say that, for example, you have to add it, as in #art , which is a perfectly valid hashtag. I hope I wasn’t confusing in that explanation .


Wow


Welcome to Nostr!! Search around for hashtags (many times you’ll find whatever you’re looking for with “str” appended to the end  ex: #artstr )  and see what other relays  folks are using.
There’s no Big Company here to feed you information or demand ID from you. If you have a question, just add

#asknostr

at the end of your post and you’ll get answers very quickly!
If someone posts something that you don’t like, just Mute them.
Enjoy your time!!

Yup definitely! 👍 my friend owns a watch shop 1 block down the street. I worked for him for a couple months as well, assembling & cleaning watches. I love mechanical watches because everything in them is accessible and fixable.


Im so glad to know a watchmaker that could help me with it.
He was able to get it up and running pretty quick, the staff needed to be replaced but he was able to get someone to machine a new one for him.
Other than that, the watch just needed to be disassembled, cleaned and reassembled and it’s been keeping amazing time.
The case hinge is broken and since it’s gold-filled I can’t get a replacement. So I just have it as a beautiful desk clock now which is A-OK by me!


Thanks!! It was a friend’s great-grandfather’s pocket watch and was given to me about 8 years ago.

Here’s what’s happening inside my pocket watch. I slowed the video down a little bit to show the balance wheel moving. This watch was made before the Great Depression and it keeps time now, after 2 repairs at the watch shop.

 Luckily, bright fancy new phones come out every couple years! And THEY come out in bright yellow, green, red, blue and black/gray - plus they’re made with planet-friendly materials like aluminum and titanium. When you need to replace them, the old phones go away.

So, think of how nice your shiny new black or gray car, made almost entirely of injection molded plastic, will look with your beautiful NEW PHONE on the dashboard! nostr:note1dm4rcts6ju2qqaefee5n037s7a49uspv2xsl5df4xwcsmdxpkahqqs2m20

Finally got the exact size I wanted for the single watch roll. 4”x16” duck canvas with a layer of wool felt for padding and cotton interior. 550 paracord wrap to secure the roll. Will easily fit standard size watches. Larger rolls can be made to order.

These are just two single-watch versions, the larger one could hold a larger watch like a G-Shock or a pocket watch.


Proof of Work for the watch roll project. Eventually, there will be Black, Gray, Dark Brown, and Orange options, all with a black interior. There will be two sizes: a single watch or three watches.

 Since these will be used for  watches, I sewed in a layer of wool felt for padding, then a layer of cotton overtop to have something soft against the watches themselves.
The outer layer is of duck canvas, which is pretty tough stuff. Once folded up, there’s around 3/8” of fabric that I need to sew through, so I got a leather sewing needle for the machine and it’s working great with some nylon thread that’s used for outdoor fabrics. Shout out to Singer for making an AWESOME machine.

The edges need to be cleaned up, and I’ll take care of that in the next iteration.

3-watch roll, gray duck canvas with black cotton interior. Padded with felt as well to protect your timepieces on-the-go. DM me if interested, I’ll be making several of these for the watch show (in black, gray, brown and orange), as well as single watch holders in those colors. I also have a selection of colors & patterns for the interior. Updates to follow.

Let’s post online for a bit and draw some attention to the project, kinda like InkBlotArt.
We can sorta test the waters for interest, then see if we want to get some printed. So image wise, use stuff that you could get printed at some point.
Theme-wise: let’s do something vintage that might look like one of those old travel collage pictures that have handwriting from different destinations and photos of places and look like they’ve gotten stamps from different destinations. Assemble a collection of collages that looks like a passport journal of a world traveler.

Derek has posted a picture of himself sitting in an inner tube on a body of water. He has thought carefully about his carbon footprint and thus is drinking an alcoholic beverage from a recyclable container that has been provided its own personal floatation device in case of a water emergency. He is smiling and using his hand to mime the “hang ten” symbol. The last knuckle on his pinky finger is slightly bent. Derek appears confident and happy about his situation.


Been thinkin about that exact thing today.


I was thinking of a drawing/collage multi-page mixed media collection. I could draw something each day and send it to you digitally, then you could collage on top of it and post it the following day. Or some variation of that? There’s no deadline and I’d  be fine waiting until Fall to start.

Great example of AI’s ability to waffle between decisions and provide a wordy non-answer that provides qualities and faults of each choice, ultimately leaving the decision to the human and alleviating blame for providing advice.


Likewise. I had no trouble getting rid of my social media accounts because I was never really interested in them.
I’ve heard folks say that I was missing out because I didn’t “put in the time and effort needed” to reap any benefit from social media. What IS that benefit? No clue.
I guess I was too busy putting in time and effort to playing guitar and making art. What a loser I am!

I just wrote a detailed description of how to calculate Influence Scores for any dev who might want to think about coding it up. In a nutshell, you’re iterating through the following set of calculations:
1. A weighted average
2. Add up some numbers
3. One nonlinear equation
4. Multiple two numbers; out pops the Influence Score

Do all of the above once for each npub in your database. Cycle though all npubs until all influence scores converge.

It takes lots of iterations which makes it computationally heavy, with the greatest burden coming (I think) from step 1, which involves a bunch of dot products, one for each follow, mute, like, emoji reaction, contextual attestation, or whatever other pieces of raw data you want to throw into the calculation.
