I ended up moving from kbin.social to fedia.io which runs mbin and has a team, not just one person. (kbin.social kept breaking all the time for me.)

Stop by the studio!

The frame is 6" x 6" and the print is just a bit smaller than that.

Here’s a post (and some photos) about the paper I make: https://rasterweb.net/raster/2023/12/19/handmade-paper/

Thanks! Yeah, I really had fun making paper last month so now it’s time to print on all of it. (And then I’ll make some more!)

The design for this one was a digital drawing (though sometimes it’s just analog/paper) and I then 3D printed a plate and did a relief print using a Provisional Press. (I’m also really into rainbow rolls lately!) I make my own paper and this is from a recent batch. (I recycle our shredded paper at home.) The frame is 3D printed and I designed that as well.

Thanks! I’ve though about doing more… I started working on a trash can icon yesterday and I’ll see where it takes me.

My iOS app won’t work anymore but I’m trying to be patient and understand that it’s an open source project led by one person so there may be delays or issues that prevent progress or even things running smoothly. Hopefully it will return and improve with time.

I’ve been blogging since 1997 and prefer to write things on my own site, but yeah, the sort of “rule” on Reddit was to not link to your own blog. I disabled Google Analytics this year, and it should also be free of any ads, so I feel okay about linking to my own (long) posts about stuff, complete with plenty of photos and the occasional video, but I’m still not sure if that is frowned upon as “self promotion” even on the Fediverse…

I use hashtags on my posts to help other discover them, but also to group my posts by subject. I probably follow 30 different hashtags on Mastodon to help me find interesting posts.

I think it’s the pain of receiving high medical bills which keeps me (and most other US citizens) from doing fun/silly/stupid/risky things…

This is very exciting! I’m looking forward to the growth of the Threadiverse.
