1st October, 2026 at 19:06. The MoTaCon social is coming to an end and it's time to clear up. I grabbed four canvases, positioned them on the shelf at the far end of the Corn Exchange and marvelled at how cool they looked.
Thanks to Diana Dromey for creating the outlines and for many MoTaConistas for colouring them in.
Many folks joined the hobbies table. They chatted, connected and got to know one another. For some, the hobbies table was just what they needed to switch gears during a busy day.
The colours on those planets are a shade of calm.
