Nothing to do this weekend but rewatch Murderbot for the 48th time and make stuff! 🧶

A bunch of handmade cards made from recycled calendars and scraps of paper.

This was the best I could do before that!

Nightly bowl of raspberries from the garden (with a bonus blackberry), and one of the many sweet little fireflies blinking around the yard. 🌱

A small bowl of raspberries, mint, lemon balm, and a single blackberry.

Bzzzzz. 🌱

I think a little sweat bee on a blanket flower.

Pretty sure that’s a honey bee on an oregano flower peeking through some Shasta daisies.

My favorite piece at this year’s Scrapfest isn’t an entry but is available for sale: “Magoi” by idmato. Gorgeous.

A welded sculpture of a battered looking fish with an empty eye socket is on display at Scrapfest in Old Town Lansing, Michigan.

Sorting through a little 2” crafting paper pad of pretty butterflies, Gibson Girls, and travel and discovered someone had a bit of extra fun at their job and nobody noticed.

An ad for a Star Wars Artoo-Deetoo enema set, including an illustration.

Ads for a gun, enema set, vibrators, and chlorine gas.

It looked just as bad before the tornado warning.

A city street and sidewalk have been removed for construction.

The corner of a flowerbed and a grass yard lead out to a ripped out sidewalk and street.

And now I’m obsessed. I pulled out some stamps I’ve been saving for a few years and paper from Japan.

Lots of pinback buttons mostly made from canceled stamps and washi paper.

After my partner’s grandparents passed away almost 20 years ago I scavenged ephemera from their house hoping to make something crafty for his family. I’ve finally figured out a project for some of it using the button maker from my local “library of things.”

Three small pinback buttons made from vintage Polish stamps.

A bunch of small pinback buttons made from stamps, children’s books, and encyclopedia pages spread out on old envelopes with postmarks from Poland.

Traditional Father’s Day tomahawk throwing. I’m terribly out of practice. My baby brother is not.

An elderly man watches a middle aged man throw a hawk at a wood target with attached paper targets. They are shown from the back in a wooded area.

If anyone would like to make their own fortune telling machine, I’m seeing some real potential in this case at @msusurplus.bsky.social.

A tall display case with a glass top half and wood base in a large warehouse with a bunch of random items, including some giant hand cutouts.

I used to be so good at making fruit and veg surprise balls. These are just sad, but hopefully the recipients will find them amusing.

A bunch of little objects wrapped in crepe paper to look like a carrot and a banana. They are misshapen.

Stickers, fake mustaches, ninja flingers, little space guys, a plastic bear, and a Skeletor pin.

Googly eyes, chicken flingers, a cheeseburger with wheels, a little space guy, a little yellow rubber guy, an F bomb, lip balm, enamel pins, and a tiny plastic duck.

Donating blood at the Flint Red Cross for the last time. Just learned they’re closing up shop.

A poster shows an illustration of a bandaged arm and blood drops with the text thank you for powering our mission.

There’s a really comprehensive M.C. Escher exhibition at the Flint Institute of Arts through mid-September. Although most if not all of his greatest hits are included, this little fellow is my favorite piece.

Untitled (page 55), 1921, by M.C. Escher. A simple Expressionist black woodcut print depicts a solitary figure looking slightly down while standing under stylized linear rays and over stylized waves.

I couldn’t make it, but my friend went and he took videos for you!

Bloodywood in Detroit! (Flashing lights. Not sure why the audio is cutting out, and didn’t notice I stopped recording when the phone got thwacked.)

Macie hates it here@macie· May 16

Home just in time to see Bloodywood in Detroit tomorrow. Their shows are really joyful and sweet and worth going if you can (but the sound is terrible if you watch from the side of the stage).

Rainbow wrap-up for a perfect quick vacation with my family. 🌈

Eyes for Eyes (@tmariis.bsky.social)

A mural of David Bowie’s eyes is surrounded by graffiti, including an 8-bit mosaic chicken.

A green eye illustration on a round sticker stuck to a pole with the text: No hope for mankind. Join the shadows army. Shaârghot.

A sticker of cartoon eyes with eyelashes has fucking bliss written on the eyes and the handle @Stuck.in.the.street. A second sticker has a very abstract illustration of a face with a signature that isn’t quite legible but may say Le diel de Momo.

Stickers and graffiti include a black ink style illustration of an eye with the text monsieur.f.

I did, but it was so sweet I could only eat a few bites! I ate much more of the praline brioche than I should have. Also really enjoyed the cervelle de canut at the first bouchon we went to. The food here is wonderful!

Leon specialties and one of the best meals I’ve ever had. 🍜

Les célèbres Eufs Meurette des Lyonnais (poached eggs in a red wine sauce with bacon, mushrooms and onions).

A wine glass next to a wine bottle with the text Beaujolais Braun le Ronsay Jean-Paul Brum.

A cup of cappuccino with sugar packets and a spoon.

Le Bal des Ardents is my new favorite bookstore. Excellent music, tons of inappropriate, art, and political books, and Felicien Rops right out in the open.
