I see so many cool things on .art; people making baskets from reeds (https://mastodon.art/@rugedigu/110236622110220183), hand-carving wooden violin bridges (https://mastodon.art/@temporalsculpt/110235635560416400), making soap (https://mastodon.art/@onecreativecat/109970347824944932), banging out metal jewelry (https://mastodon.art/@sonjaselena/110240948349464658), constructing mossy terrariums (https://mastodon.art/@TeaFrancis/109836748446833020). It's inspiring and wholesome and amazing and I love it.What are some recent awesome crafty stuff you've seen around the fediverse lately? Link the posts!

https://dotart.blog/dotart-blog/addressing-ai-artA reminder of .art's stance on AI 'art' and why we have that stance, with mention of the print-on-demand galleries Pixels and FineArtAmerica that both condone and encourage the sale of AI 'art'.

https://codeberg.org/oliphant/blocklists/src/branch/main/blocklists/missing-tier0-mastodon.social.csvThis list by @oliphant is all the instances that mastodon.social doesn't block, that 'we' (the instances who use Oli's blocklist, which in part pulls from .art's blocklist) do block in the unified_tier0_blocklist.csv file.You can look at those entries and then do a search on https://mastodon.art/about to find the instances and see the reason we have them blocked (most of them are there).

Heads up:If you have accounts on several instances, and you're posting the same content to them with the same hashtags, anyone who follows those tags will see your posts appearing multiple times in their feed. It can be a bit spammy. I understand wanting to reach as big an audience as you can if you're trying to make a living from your art/craft.etc. - the common way to do that here is to post to one account, then boost from the other accounts. :hammyblush:

Re. my last boost (https://mstdn.social/@feditips/110260432218416976), if you're looking for a new instance to move to, see https://fedi.garden - but a lot of people just see where their fedi friends are posting from and move there, or after being on the fediverse a while, find interest-specific instances and move to those.You can migrate your follows and followers to your new home (https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/) - your posts won't move, but you can download an archive of them if you want to keep them for posterity.

Do you draw stuff? You're an artist.Do you write stuff? You're a writer.Do you photograph stuff? You're a photographer.Your level of skill or competence in those fields don't matter, and it certainly doesn't matter whether or not you've been paid to do them. You don't need to say you're an 'aspiring' anything - you *are* the thing.Do the thing. :artotter: #WormsOfAffirmation

My mum is visiting (from Wales to South Africa) on Thursday for two weeks so I'm taking a bit of a vacation, and one of our mods @ArtistMarciaX (they/she) will be taking over the Curator account for the time :D They have freedom to use the Curator account however they see fit during that time, boosting art and discussing anything they feel is important that this platform can give voice to. The 'Curator' nick will change to reflect that and we'll make a note in the account bio too.:artcapy2:

Only a few days left before mastodon.lol is taken offline. If you're a creative person (art, photography, writing, pottery, video, music, theater, creative coding - anything creative!), .art's sign ups are open and you can request an account. Otherwise, see https://mastodon.art/@Curator/109330935262775703 for a list of other creative and safe-space instances. :artcapy4:

PSA re. reports we sometimes get:We don't block explicit furry art for being 'zoophilia'.We don't block cub/babyfur art for being CSAM/loli/pedophilia if it doesn't depict those characters in sexualised ways.We DO block/limit/reject media accounts or instances that post art of minors in sexualised ways, or un-CWed explicit art, furry or otherwise.We have loooads of furry artists posting explicit art, and cub/babyfur artists, on .art and they are welcome here.

Mine? If I really think about, it's Hayao MiyazakiThe stories he's telling are just...they resonate with me every time I watch any number of the films he's made. I discover something new each time...and my inner child with the wild imagination and need to create something visually is always nurtured. -Curator Marcia
