Melissa Van HooseI really have to remember that it's okay to make something with no plan for how it will turn out and that experimenting in art isn't wasteful. I didn't know what I wanted to do, but I wanted to try a color styling similar to what I have seen in the work of maricormaricar (Instagram) and I'm so excited with how it turned out (Jun. 17, 2019)<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ampersand?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ampersand</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/letteringart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#letteringart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/embroideryart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#embroideryart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/embroidery?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#embroidery</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/typeart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#typeart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/typography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#typography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crafttherainbow?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crafttherainbow</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/colorful?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colorful</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handstitching?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handstitching</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/modernembroidery?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#modernembroidery</a>

Dave Morris<p>Experimenting with some scattering or diffusion techniques, for today's <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/AmperSand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmperSand</span></a> efforts. Quite liked the little black one, actually.</p>

Mistigris computer arts<p>Mistodon: we're all big fans of various &amp; sundry, this &amp; that, and so forth &amp; so on, &amp;c., and the glue knitting it all together is the symbol known as the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ampersand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ampersand</span></a>, which AdeptApril celebrates in <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ANSIart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ANSIart</span></a> today for National Ampersand Day. It was originally a calligraphed "et", meaning "and" in Latin, but took on a life of its own.</p>
