Natural to colour. Did we go wrong during the advent of screen

 


🧵 Template Page Formatting Guide for Inclusion

1. Page Structure (A5 or Square Format)

Use a consistent layout that balances clarity with symbolic layering:

SectionPurposeSuggested Format
Title / Motif NameAnchor the page with a poetic or symbolic nameCentered, serif font, earth-toned heading
Ritual PromptInvite action, reflection, or communal makingItalicized blockquote or glyph-accented box
Stitch Sequence GuideDiagram or describe symbolic stitch pathsGrid or flow layout with thread color notes
Watercolor IllustrationEvoke mood, geography, or elemental resonanceSmall image (top-right or bottom-left)
Caption / ReflectionPoetic or ecological insightHandwritten-style font or stitched text
Contribution NotesSpace for others to add their own motifsBlank zone with dotted border or seal icon

🎨 Prospering with Small Watercolor Pictures

Watercolors can act as emotional and ecological glyphs—here’s how to make them thrive within your templates:

🌿 Creative Integration Tips

  • Scale: Keep illustrations small (5–8 cm wide) to maintain balance and mystery.
  • Placement: Use corners or margins to suggest emergence or quiet presence.
  • Themes: Paint motifs like:
    • Ochre spirals for Boorloo soil memory
    • Indigo frost blooms for Vladivostok breath
    • Thread glyphs that echo stitch paths
  • Technique: Use wet-on-wet for elemental blur, dry brush for stitched texture.

💸 Economic Agency Tips

  • Digitize & License: Scan at high resolution and offer them as downloadable motifs or zine inserts.
  • Bundle with Stitch Guides: Create thematic sets (e.g., “Carbon Care,” “Trans-Hemispheric Breath”) for sale or donation.
  • Print on Seeded Paper: Combine ritual with regeneration—each image becomes a plantable offering.

Would you like me to format a sample template page with one of your motifs and a watercolor prompt? We could even build a series that maps inclusion across seasons or hemispheres.

How the Day Started

On this morning in June 2025, after a substantial break, I am back to blog. Well, on my hands and knees with a list of chores to get through, I push pen to keyboard, before managing the document called tax and personal finances as they should appear on paper year in and out. Every educated Australian is in this space all the time.   Clean the kitchen window.  Oh! To be able to see outside again; view uninterrupted. Window cleaning blue stuff check. Rubber cleaning blade check. Anticipation of satisfaction 10 to 10.  This is my new grading system.  If I get to this chore today 10 to 10. If I have to skip it for something else then the score decreases.  Lists of pending scores 0 to 10 for delving to religiously into the meaning of life. And yet that list does sometimes exist. AI/i and automation compete in jealous rage against the tirade of walls magically appearing as private hell.  I read this, and finally I am back to blog.  https://www.msn.com/e...

Chinese Made Electric Vehicles and More

Some say love is a river held against your ear. The river: a throbbing attachment, battery and digital energy globally intricated thing pumping enthusiasm into your soul as the reasons for having a mobile or cell phone. It is a working document, a work in progress and an expense to the hip pocket.  Catch me salty and fresh. Bikini was never a motto. Slimline, flip lid, high tech. I can afford to assemble one on purchase.  The USA will now manufacture off the defense budget ... a cell phone.  Do you want to be my China, Philippines? But I do not know how.  Great question, Manu. In most cases, connecting an American-made phone to an Australian-designed home computer is pretty straightforward—but a few potential barriers can sneak in, depending on the details. Here’s what might trip things up: Billing the Internet service.  1. **Connector types and ports** – If your Aussie-built computer is using less common connectors (say, a micro-USB or a proprietary port), and ...
