I make silly animations & pictures. Everything I post is made by me, unless clearly stated otherwise.

Interested in all thing visual (#Animation #Photography #sillyScribbles) and many things relating to #Politics, #HumanRights & the world around us.

Have been known to meticulously edit photos to create something fantastical, but quite often just scribble on things.

Leans to the left. Quite a lot. Full of woke nonsense, & quite happy about it. She/her.

Another thing I like about St John's Wort - they provide an exceptional style guide for any aliens that invade earth and want to breed people in organic pods.

Oooh, the indestructible St John's Wort in the garden is budding. It's growing in the wrong place (hence I know it's indestructible) but it is very photogenic.

You buy them food, keep their water supply clean, keep quiet in your garden to avoid disturbing them, and when you pop out with your camera they just turn away from you.

Rude.

Was thoroughly windswept on my walk today. It was beautiful, lush and sunny but the wind was unexpected.

Definitely needed a hood.
Did not have one.

A short video loop of a wooden jetty sticking out into a pond which is surrounded by bright green reeds and grasses, and darker trees behind. The sky is blue with white fluffy clouds. The grasses and trees are swooshing in the wind. A simple drawn figure stands on the jetty, wearing a long green cloak and with hair blowing in the wind.

Right. I absolutely have stuff to do that isn't sitting here so I will just add this better photo of the windy spot, as the compression on the gif above definitely killed the view a bit.

Found a surprise spring fungi in the lawn. Still, a nice spot to sit and chill, sheltered from the wind & sunshine.

@emmaaum Thank you 😊 I would quite like a leaf tent to peek out of.

Feeling slightly cheeky about riding on the coattails of affection for Tony Hart with that last video, but if it's making people smile I think it's OK.

And honestly, rejigging the timing on all the dancers to make them actually fit a single piece of music properly would have taken sooooooo long. I needed that gallery vibe!

@eclectech@things.uk avatar

Many years ago there was an art show for kids on UK TV which would show a gallery of viewers pictures while playing Left Bank Two. When I got to a year of dancers I thought I should at least put them to music once, but finding something to fit them all would be impossible, so I thought I'd make a musical gallery with that vibe.

Here it is. A year of Fridays & some easy listening.

As ever, have a good weekend if you possibly can.

A hand drawn animated video. A rainbowappears and disappears on screen with sparkly ends as the title screen reads: Project . Sparkles and rainbows and groovy moves. Initial target: add a dancer every Friday until I run out of space. Secondary target: may as well try and do it for a year now..." Easy listening music comes in and a series of 52 clouds drift by, some going left, some right. Each has a rainbow appearing and disappearing, and a single dancer doing their unique and occasionally inexplicable moves. Each cloud has a number, showing which week they were the dancer for. At the end the copy reads "Have a good weekend if you possibly can" with the word good also surrounded by the words sparkly, wonderful, funky, joyful, splendid and relaxing.

Who's a cute little hairball?
You are! You're a cute little hairball!

And here's the coo, giving me a "why are you taking a photo of my hairball when I am here with my AWESOME HORNS?" look.

I put this fairy on her head while I glued her wings back on, and she looks so world-weary

@aldroid Heh, I spent a while like that yesterday afternoon, but no-one gave me wings as a result. I feel cheated.

Aww, look, a wee shieldbug has come to say hello.

I could get a nice photo of that.

Oh.

Have had a few days with a visitor taking all my time (not in a bad way) & have spent this afternoon trying to get back into action, not hugely successfully.

A couple of days back we went to a marketplace with this vintage bus destination poster for sale. Was quite tempted to buy it to put behind my desk.

Really wishing I had at the moment.

Morning. I dreamt last night that there was a Masto / Fediverse meet-up, something along the lines of the emfcamp that's happening this weekend, where people were giving talks about various things (Welsh was one, the history of the River Thames was another.) People were hanging out in their various groups and making food together (it was being held in a hostel / big country house type place) and it was just quite cool to be able to come together like that.

eclectech,
@eclectech@things.uk avatar

@emmaaum @sheepnik Oh, I could team up with a nature expert, so I can point at something and say "that looks like a great spot for a tiny person to chill out", or "that obviously needs a face there" and someone else can say "that's a [whatever] and..." 😃

Apropos of nothing, if you need something lovely & funny to listen to for 44 minutes, and have access to BBC Sounds, I can heartily recommend the 2024 special of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme. A gentle tale of village life. Superb stuff.

@eclectech@things.uk avatar

@coprolite9000 Yes, I live in a small village and a lot spoke to me too! The line about there being a lot of paths compared to the places to go had me howling, and we have a LOT of informal local democracy!
