These are made by a family member not me, as I have no creative talent … but I will share on their behalf! A range of earrings made from lego can be found here, including some Christmas specials!: https://folksy.com/shops/Bricktorious

Well that was a delightful Xmas present to discover. Thank you!

@MarkWatson I just saw a package by the door with your name on it ! I haven’t owned up to the guerrilla marketing via Mastodon and @garius though :-)

@garius It's really lovely of you to boost people this way, John. Thank you. xo

@AdaraAstin np.

i used to do it every year on twitter, and it seems even more in the spirit of here.

I've always found it highlights amazing presents people never even thought of.

@garius does being an indie author count? I know it’s not the same as most creators, is mostly horror, and my stuff is mostly on Amazon (I know, I know…) but I am also on an indie bookshop to get signed copies of some of my books? And I get a decent slice of pie from Amazon?

Here are some covers from the talented @elainemwill as well…

@garius thanks for boosting, look forward to browsing this list for present ideas later!

@garius Thank you for doing a lovely thing!

I'm Gabby, and I draw things and have a redbubble shop where you can get some of them on mugs and stuff.

@garius I'm a potter in the U.S. But since I'm not a production potter & my work is in a gallery, I probably won't have a lot for this holiday season. (oops - poor planning on my part. Should have made a lot more stuff in the past few months...)

My pottery website: http://dragonbellyceramics.com

(Thank you for doing this! It's very generous of you.)

Dragon Belly Ceramics

I came to ceramics with a long held belief that I wasn’t artistic. In 2008, I took a parent/teen clay class with my youngest son and discovered that my hands had a wisdom of their own.

@lj your work is beautiful!
@garius @lj That looks fantastic! The glaze reminds me of the pottery I’ve seen in western Japan.

@garius

@garius

So I sell prints of my photography, it's mostly architectural/cityscapes, but they'll make great Xmas gifts (in my opinion)!

My website is adrianbrenner.co.uk (apologies, I can't seem to link it)

I'll attach a bunch of my work below!

@adibren @garius you need to include the https:// or it doesn't recognise it.
@UncTom @garius aye, I figured that out after I posted it, but didn't want to keep reposting! Thank you though.
@adibren @garius you should be able to edit, if your server is on v4

@garius

#Books? Books. Lots of books.

Raven's Peace, for example, is a gorgeous book to put under a Christmas tree:

https://www.amazon.com/Ravens-Peace-Peacekeepers-Glynn-Stewart/dp/1988035937

@GlynnStewart The Raven stuff is probably my favourite of yours.
@garius With so many series, it's hard to know what to push.
But Peacekeepers is the one I'm kind of focusing on right now, because I think it deserves more love :D
@GlynnStewart @garius I'm waiting for the next book in that series, if there will be one. (Knowing that Duchy of Earth will no go on has be hard enough)
@levpetrovitch @garius
Season 2 of Peacekeepers is definitely on my list :)
@GlynnStewart @garius
This is what I'm reading now, BTW
@GlynnStewart @garius is that an artists impression of Elon Musk destroying Twitter?

@uberkim @garius just bought me some tits for Christmas! These are ace 👏
@RobbieBrighton Awww thank you! One of my favourite moments since I started making these was when I walked into a local cafe and a woman said to her partner, 'there's the woman I bought your Cock from' 😂
@garius Here's an urban fantasy epic that every now and then I decant into book-shaped bottles—genrefuck, genderpunk, allusively historical, obscurely magical: the City of Portland, with a bit more swordplay. —Available via Bookshop, or direct from my own two hands: https://bookshop.org/lists/city-of-roses-a3634058-51d8-4eeb-92fe-5d2cb16f1cd2 http://thecityofroses.com/book
City of Roses

City of Roses is a serialized epic firmly set in Portland, Oregon, only with a few more sword fights: a wicked concoction of urban pastoral and incantatory fantastic, where aspirants are knighted in Forest Park, and the Devil keeps a morgue in an abandoned big-box store. —It’s the story of Jo Maguire, a highly strung, underemployed telemarketer, and what happens when she meets Ysabel, a princess of unspecified pedigree. Jo rather unexpectedly becomes Ysabel’s guardian and caretaker, and now must make a place for herself among Ysabel’s decidedly unusual family and friends—which involves rather more sword-play than most of us are used to.

@garius

What a cool idea! I'm gonna do the same thing!

I draw portraits and sell prints. Mostly fan art, but I also take commissions for a reasonable price!
You can get my stuff here etsy.com/shop/joehumphrey

@GregStolze @garius Closest I've gotten on that last one was doing the flavor text for Curious Cargo.
@Books @garius Eh, it's like the opposite of dermatology. You gotta KEEP picking at it.
@GregStolze @garius Congratulations on publishing. That's awesome!
@TimothyForner @garius You think that's impressive, you should see my record of blood donations. 😉

Hi, I'm curious,what material is the emblem on the red/blue piece, looks like it is not part of the surface but on top of it?
or is that a trick of the perspective?

@atnussan Not being able to upload the pictures might have been a temporary thing, because so many people joined in a short space of time, I know some instances/servers have been overloaded. So you could try again another day :-)

@atnussan what a wonderful treasure trove! Looking forward to picking up some of your beautiful pieces

@garius lovely initiative btw

@atnussan Those are beautiful! I've just ordered one of the yellow peacock plates as a Christmas present for my mother in law 🙂
