It’s prairie coneflower season. They’re such fun, silly flowers, and I’m happy to see some red ones this year. 🌼👀
Fediverse! I need your help.
I bought this hanging floating-candle candelabra thing as a teenager, and it survived some 20 years until my mum decided to transport it up to me.
Two of the votives are broken. I have scowered Etsy and eBay and various search engines and not found anything to replace them.
It's rather beautiful lit up, but I haven't been able to enjoy it as an adult.
Can you help? I either need 2 replacement votives or 6. 1/2 #candles #crafts #glass #GlassBlowing
Apologies for the terrible photos.
Ideally, I would like to replace them with matching votives, but given I bought this in the late 90s and there's no mark to say who made it, I get that's a slim chance. But these specific votives are beautiful lit up. IDK if this is something a glass blower could try to duplicate??
Failing that, something that would fit the hangers and sit well with the other votives.
I am disabled on benefits so cannot afford much, but this is special to me. 2/2
Irregular reminder that I'm still looking for work of the type I'd get paid for (I can find the other type much more easily). I'm a software developer in New Zealand. There's a wide range of technology I'm happy working with but I'd probably be able to get up to speed fastest on a project using Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, React, and TypeScript.

@stavvers They've just seen the price of swift bricks in the area.

they're screaming because that's a natural reaction to being in england
I'd forgotten that, back in 2019, I adapted the shot of 'tank man' in Tiananmen Square. It feels even more relevant now.

@anon_opin how about the estate agent has to hold it personally? it'd do away with the smug headshots currently in fashion, provide much needed employment, and the signs would be removed the minute the place was sold.
It's FRIDAY! Woo hoo!
As ever, have a good weekend if you possibly can.
The wee folk tried to learn a couple of new moves this week, but sometimes, just sometimes, I really wish I had given them knees, elbows and waists. Bendy limbs and unbendy bodies are a little restrictive 😆
@35millimetre I always used to try for ISO400 because not really a sunshine person.
(pretty much the same on digital as a default tbh).
is there noticably less grain on the 125?
Whoops.
This is what happens when you rely heavily on government handouts (socialism) to keep your companies afloat.
