kerravonsen: Stone egg on moss: "Art is Life, Life is Art" (art)

So, I'd like some opinions, please. Currently working on some planets art, because I felt like doing a planetscape. But I have three versions of it, and I'm not sure which one is the best. So any of y'all, take a look and give an opinion!

Which of the three do you prefer?

I have just realised that I would find it easier to keep up with Dreamwidth if I had an app on my (Android) tablet for it. Because I'm finding that my current habit is to catch up on social media when I wake up, lying in my warm and cosy bed, with my tablet, which is sitting there next to me, rather than my desktop, which would require me to get up and go to another room.

So does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could do that?

Yes, I know I could just open up a browser, but I want to be able to just click on an icon and have it be right there at Dreamwidth, not scroll through however many tabs I have open to find which one is pointing at Dreamwidth.

So, I've signed up to Disney+, because Loki. And secondarily because I realised there were quite a few Disney movies that I didn't manage to see in the theatres that I'd quite like to see (such as Frozen II). Plus I also like Nat Geo.

But since I have it, I might as well use it while I have it, because I don't expect I will keep it for that long. So... do any of you have recs for stuff to watch?

Warning, though: I have no intention of watching WandaVision, because I gather it's in the form of a 50s sitcom similar to I Love Lucy, and I'm afraid that sitcoms hit my embarrassment squick really hard and it would be torment for me to watch it. So I won't be watching it.

But apart from that, any recs? Any particularly good Nat Geo documentaries? SFF series that aren't crap? Don't assume I've seen them already, I'm pretty bad at keeping up with stuff.

On re-watching Iron Man, and pondering Thor-1, it seems to me that SHIELD's knee-jerk reaction is to cover things up even when they don't need covering up. Consider the two cover stories they made in Iron Man: that Tony Stark's bodyguard is Iron Man, and that Stane died in a light plane crash.

You don't need to be warned for spoilers for MCU surely? )

Hey, fellow Harry Potter fans who've been in the fandom longer than me!
Where did the fanon idea come from that Polyjuice alters everything except the voice? I just stumbled across it again in the current fanfic I'm reading, and I'm completely baffled. This is NOT CANON! So where did the idea come from?
kerravonsen: Branch with leaves, a blue sky, clouds and a hint of a rainbow: Creation (Creation)
Argggh! I feel as if I have hit a creative wall with my (digital) art. Everything I have done for the past... week? ... I have looked at, felt totally indifferent to, scrapped, and started again at zero. I need something new, some new approach. Like what I did with my "Elements" series, that was a nice challenge, doing electron-shell diagrams as stained-glass windows. But I've done that now, I could do stained-glass windows in my sleep (not really), I want something new, but I don't have a clue as to what.

Help! Please, ideas? Techniques?

Hello again! Time for your thinking caps! Can you help me once more with naming some of my paintings? Anything you suggest could help me think of a name, even if I don't use the precise name you suggest.
All of these started life as fluid acrylic pour paintings; some of them I have digitally embellished, and some are just as they were poured.

As usual, I will update this post with final painting names when I've decided. 8-)

And THEN I will put them up on my shop http://fluid-visions.com and you can BUY them!

All of these started life as fluid acrylic pour paintings, which I then photographed and digitally embellished.

kerravonsen: Harry Potter writing with quill (Harry)
Hello my Harry Potter loving friends, I am scratching my head. You see, I got this lovely idea for a "Golden Trio" necklace, but there are parts of it I haven't figured out yet. To wit, I want to make a central pendant with charms on it representing the three of them. Hermione is obvious -- it needs to be a quill or a book. But Harry and Ron I'm not so certain of. I'm thinking maybe a broom for Harry -- if I could find a golden broom charm somewhere, that is. Ron, maybe a wand, because he was brought up in the Wizarding World.

But if any of you have ideas of what charm-things would be a good representation of Ron or Harry, please share them!

I am mentally exhausted, working on my Etsy shop, trying to think of NEW and DIFFERENT tags to describe my items. I've combined phrases, and I've scoured the thesaurus, and I can't think no more. PLEASE HELP ME! If you could pop over to Essence of Eclectic and look at a few listings, and suggest alternative tags that I haven't already used (the tags are, unfortunately, at the VERY BOTTOM of an item's page), that would be extremely helpful to me. I need a different perspective, my perspective is all perspectived out.

Hello all you imaginative people! I have decided on the names for all the pictures in the previous round of Name That Painting, if you want to go look. Could you be so kind as to help me again? This time I've gone a bit mad on doing planetscapes (because I couldn't just stop at Monda Mondo). These are all acrylic pour paintings which have been digitally manipulated to turn them into planets. I could just name them "Planet 1, Planet 2" and so on, but it would be nicer if they could be called something more interesting. All suggestions welcome, because even if you think it is lame, it could still jog my mind in new directions towards a good name.

I will, as ever, update this post with final painting names when I've decided. 8-)

Hello you lovely people. Can you help me again with naming some of my paintings? Anything you suggest could help me think of a name, even if I don't use the precise name you suggest.
The first two are exactly what came out of the pour, the third one has just been brightened a bit, and the last three I have gone whole hog with playing around with them digitally.

I will, as ever, update this post with final painting names when I've decided. 8-)

Here come some more fluid art paintings by me, which are languishing in need of names. So I'm asking y'all once again for suggestions, because y'all have been so helpful in the past. They don't have to be brilliant, because anything which gets me out of my own head-space could trigger an idea for me, so please don't be reticent.
The first three paintings have been digitally modified, the last two haven't.

I will, as before, update this post with final painting names when I've decided. 8-)

Thank you all, lovely people, for helping me name my pictures.
Now, can you help me with some more? (Six more. Ulp! Did I mention that fluid art was addictive?)

You can click on the thumbnail to see the larger sized image. Please put on your thinking caps and suggest to me names, even if you don't think it's perfect. Getting someone else's perspective may help me jolt loose the jammed logs of title-thinking. Thank you again!

ETA: When I've decided on a name for a given picture, I'll put it underneath in bold. 8-)
ETA2: They are all named! YAY! Thank you all!

I can't remember if I've mentioned it, but I'm now selling prints of my fluid art on my Etsy store. I'm doing it through Printful, who are a US-based company who do the printing, packaging, and posting - I just provide the art.

But I need your help. Because, however pretty a piece is, I'm not going to put it up until it has at least a title. And titles are hard to think of, especially when one has been staring at a piece for hours without any good ideas. So, here are four of my pieces! You can click on the thumbnail to see the larger sized image. Please put on your thinking caps and suggest to me names, even if you don't think it's perfect. Getting someone else's perspective may help me jolt loose the jammed logs of title-thinking. Thank you.

So, I'm wondering if there's anything y'all would like me to make a video about. Some craft you want me to demonstrate? Something about Australia you want me to (attempt to) show? Something you want me to do a rant about? Hmmm? Ask me!

Otherwise I'll still be happily doing Fluid Art and other crafty things. I just would find it nice to be able to do something that I know somebody is interested in.

So, what can one do with odd socks, besides throw them out? I would like to be recycling-minded with the 11 odd socks which I discovered when I sorted ALL my socks yesterday.

I need a Twelfth Doctor icon! Where's a good place to look for one that's freely available?
I kept on thinking that I would make myself one, but I clearly haven't.
kerravonsen: Draco Malfoy: Turn back (Draco)
I have a Draco-centric story which has been stalled for ages and ages. And the longer it's stalled, the more daunting it is. I need help to get re-started. I need inspiration, and I need a better insight into Draco's character. Sooooo I'm asking y'all to point me in the direction of:

1. good Draco-related meta (hey [livejournal.com profile] drinkingcocoa, have you written any Draco meta?)

2. good Draco-centric fic, which is NOT slash (I do NOT read slash, keep it away from me). It might be preferable for it to not be het either, because for popular pairings (such as Draco/Hermione) the author often starts out with the assumption that their readers already agree that the pairing is Meant To Be, which means the author goes to less effort to convince the readers why the characters are behaving that way... and a story like that is less likely to give me good insights into how Draco ticks.

So please give me links, if you have any.
kerravonsen: hand stretching up: "Help!" (Help!)
Help me, oh HP friends! There's a Harry Potter story I'm trying to remember the name/author/location of, and I've already gone through my bookmarks and can't find it.
This is an AU First Year story, one of those Snape-mentors-Harry kind of stories. Also a Manipulative Dumbledore story.

Alas, the only thing I can remember is that, rather than Snape just assuming that Harry is pampered and spoiled before he ever lays eyes on him, Snape is given reason to believe that is so because of the things that Albus keeps on saying before school starts; like Albus has this conversation with Minerva which indicates that Harry is on luxurious holiday etc.
There's also a bit -- though possibly it's from a different story -- where Snape has to be the one to fetch Harry, and Dumbledore is reluctant to let Snape do it, and then tries to manipulate Snape again by mentioning James, in order to make sure that Snape is not sympathetic to Harry when they meet. But Snape gets suspicious of this, so he doesn't fall into that trap.

I fear, alas, that (a) that's not enough information for you folk to find it for me and (b) if I can't find it in my bookmarks, it's probably because it turned out to be a crappy story with a promising beginning.

But still, my curiosity is killing me, I want to find it. Help!

ETA: Found it. It was "Petunia's Boys" and I'm not going to give the link because it was, indeed, crap.
