#tdc4476 #ds106 #ds106 Make a Small Sculpture

Create a small sculpture with random items you have around your home or workplace. Give it a title and share your creation.

I decided small is relative. I also decided to share a collaborative work. Some of you may remember that I was displaced from my home for much of 2023. We were not able to move back home until January of 2024. This piece is an ever-growing sculpture of items that have lost their home in the upheaval. While I am the main artist there have been some other contributors. Some items have lost their place here and will be rehomed. It is a monument to change, seasons of life, growth, and loss.

Or maybe I am just being lazy and calling my clutter art?

Some truth is these things have lost their place. Somethings are leaving the house.

My 7-year-old for some reasons loves to build dirty sock sculptures around the house.

Famous New Yorker cartoon comments on the anonymity of going online. What else is true about the Internet?

Well, I heard Amazon was actually started by cats in order to get more boxes in homes for their incarcerated feline friends. Everything you read on the internet is true.

A simple internet search has confirmed what I read.

There are pictures everywhere of cats in Amazon boxes! I wonder if a certain immortal cat is actually the one behind all of this…

#tdc4469 #ds106 Create an Eclipse Erasure Poem

The rumors are true that a new album is coming out from the Finnish Funk Band, Wrecked Cottsage Seabright. Use their studio photo to generate the cover art, add the album name that will spawn many sales, and list the name of their hit single from the album.

I used adobe firefly AI to make the image. I Edited it by adding the text and the line graphic.

I somehow pushed the image off center during the editing process. I hate it and love it. I think it goes with the off-ness of the tilted house and the name I gave the album Get Bent. I am bent about the mishap.

I of course used Evil Brick. I went with the original with the evil eyebrows. It was a difficult choice.

Evil Brick is not 100% anarchist because he is somewhat organizing bricks to revolt against people.

He has zero humility. He is tired of being used and walked on. He knows he is more than that.

He is 100% evil with no remorse for any crimes he has committed. He is a brick with no softness.

He only succeeds 75% of the time making people feel the impact of the ground. He is working towards tripping 100% of his targets.

The daily create asked what made you smile today? It has been a rough week, and it is only Wednesday. I don’t have high hopes of things turning around anytime soon. Finding something that even gave me a hint of joy was a little difficult. After I found something to be happy about today fate rewarded me with a 2nd one.

Now the reward from The Fates!

My children returned home from school this afternoon. They were told no electronics until they match socks today. The sock basket is full, and they need to have socks for school tomorrow. My youngest, age 7, snuck to the basement to watch TV. Suddenly I heard crying. so much despair. She comes up stairs and tells me she knows she was bad but something more terrible has happened! She has accidently deleted all the Netflix profiles! This is end of the world stuff for the 7 and 9 years old. They thought they would have to rebuild all the Netflix profiles from scratch. I am trying my best not to laugh at them. I said, “Well I can fix it but not until all the laundry is folded now.” So much anger and despair. So much joy and laughter on my end. I did end up showing them on the laptop that everything is still there they just lost access on the TV.

MsMapex: “Update my 7 year old is crying…” – ds106 Social

It’s the little things one should find joy in. I could have gotten mad but why? The whole thing was hilarious. They are punishing themselves enough and I need help with the laundry. I got a big win here.

Today’s #DailyCreate #tdc4460 #ds106 #ds106 You as a plant.

This is your destiny calling. I’ve got good news and bad news.

The good news is: your request for reincarnation has been granted.

The bad news: you’ll come back as a plant.

But, there’s a silver lining… you may decide what plant you’ll be.

I used adobe firefly and asked for a radish with eyes walking through the woods being watched by a hungry rabbit. It gave me this.

I do not see the rabbit.

#tdc4456 #ds106 Idealized Data Gatherer

If you could have a FitBit-style device to measure something that can’t normally be measured that way, what would it be?

It would look like a hair clip to be worn as close to the scalp as possible. It would be measuring brain waves/activity looking at how much of the invisible load one is doing in running a household. The unseen stress of making everything flow. If you have children, it adds another layer. Is there a health problem in the family? The unseen important tasks would be tracked and measured. You may have felt you did nothing one day; this would show you didn’t.

MsMapex: “#tdc4456 #ds106 Idealized Data…” – ds106 Social

Think about it there is so much to do when you run a household. Maybe there are no kids; there are pets, houseplants, bills, food etc. There are still many tasks that have to be done for the household to run. Who takes care of those? I have read articles that state women usually carry the brunt of the invisible load. Would it not be great if this could really be measured? I think we would all see that on a day we got nothing done a lot got done.

#tdc4454 #ds106 Splatter The Ink

I named it going through. I played with the advanced settings and put it slightly out of focus with the glow setting. It makes me think of opening your eyes under water. Like you are swimming through something going through something. I like looking at the center of the picture I get a feeling of movement.

I have really lost all creative thought for titles this week.

Bead Art: Turn your photo into super-cool bead art. (bighugelabs.com)

I used the above linked website to create a beaded image. I after you upload the image you want changed you have the option to choose a background color besides black. I chose a pink. I think it really softened the evil brick and made him kind of cute. You should recognize the picture used from an earlier daily create.
