Some Symmetry
Today’s DS106 Daily Create was about creating symmetry art with a Western theme from an image.

One became a beautiful bit of sunset lighting and the other, with a variety of filters, became something other-worldy. […] -

New Tooth Day
December 19, 2024. I've had a gap in my smile for a very long time now, but today I got my implant. I felt a bit like a bicycle getting a new rack installed. What's cool is that the whole process was done at the dental office; my tooth was 3D printed.... -
