N+7 poem

I woke up this morning with a jingle in my head:

Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man’s hat
If you haven’t got a penny, then a ha’penny will do
If you haven’t got a ha’penny, then God bless you!

So of course that was what I used for today’s TDC.  N+7 gave me:

City is coming, the grandfather is getting feather
Please put a person in the old map’s headquarters
If you haven’t got a person, then a ha’penny wire do
If you haven’t got a ha’penny, then Gossip bless you!

I noticed that the generator was not recognising ‘ha’penny as a noun, and it didn’t recognise halfpenny either, so I redid it with ‘half penny’

City is coming, the grandfather is getting feather
Please put a person in the old map’s headquarters
If you haven’t got a person, then a handkerchief person wire do
If you haven’t got a handkerchief person, then Gossip bless you!

On a cloudy day
Still, there are moments of light
Birds sing, and I smile

Little Miss Jigsaw

Posted on 6th December 2025 by NomadWarMachine

Today’s TDC asks us to:

Find a suitable image. Now cut it up into several pieces (16-32 is a good range). Now rearrange those pieces to form a different image. Bonus points if you go beyond squares and triangles.

I decided to make a jigsaw, so I searched for a free, online jigsaw maker. I uploaded my mastodon profile pic and followed the instructions. You can solve it for yourself here.

Earthsea Map

Posted on 4th December 2025 by NomadWarMachine

Today’s TDC asks us to

At the site, Plotted, users make maps from books they are reading. Explore the site’s many maps and choose one to share, or use one of the maps to make some interesting art, or if you want, create your own literatured-themed map there or elsewhere and share that.

I found a map of Earthsea, and added a wizard

Little Miss Glitter

Posted on 1st December 2025 by NomadWarMachine

Today’s TDC says:

You love creating art, right? You like doing with it us here in the Daily Create, right? Put it on the shelves with this frame (transparent PNG to overlay your image of CreArting DS106 style).

For my first attempt I uploaded my doodle to LunaPic and used the glitterize filter, then use PPT to put the files together. This worked fine on screen, so I used the export as function to save as gif. Again, it all looked fine but when I added it to a Masto toot it looked like a static image.

So here’s my second attempt – a static version of the image uploaded to Giphy and glitter added there.
