OCD DAILY - Issue #384
Welcome to the 384th issue of @OCD Daily!
Issue #384 highlights content from ten (10) Steem Content Creators! The OCD team continues its search throughout Steem to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users.
Today our curators found ten(10) new pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are created by newer Steem users, that may not have the audience with which to share their quality content. @OCD strives to help provide that audience and intends to showcase Steem users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content.
The @OCD nomination process
A curator will FIND a piece of work (typically from newer users). Within 24 hours that piece has been submitted from the curator to the @OCD team, curator votes are tallied, and the pieces with the most votes are included in the compilation.
We encourage you to visit these blogs and show these great Steemians your support and encouragement.
If you enjoyed their work, give them a Follow or maybe even say Hello!
All of the content chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is universally appreciated and valued by our curators making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day.
Our top nomination of the day is from @zipporah
This is an absolutely beautiful post from @zipporah on the evolution of her love for certain effects and lenses for photography. The images selected are each a delight to behold and her write up to her journey of appreciation for these graphic effects on the photographs is simply wonderful to follow through. My eyes thanked me for having stumbled across this gorgeous, GORGEOUS post.

Our next nomination of the day is from @leaky20
Don't let moments pass along
And waste before your eyes
@leaky20 introduces us to this awesome song by Cosmo Sheldrake - which is really awesome and very interesting piece - hence he is also providing lyrics to go along the music, and his interpretation and sort of a review(is song can be reviewed).
Anyways, song is very easily stuck in your head - careful with listening. :smiley:

Our next nomination of the day is from @dutybound
Very cool to see Steemians work together! Here @dutybound explains how he made the cover for the book Fireflies: Puppa, which was written by @dreemsteem. The wishes of the author were taken into account while creating a visual masterpiece - which looks pretty cool! Congratz to both of you for this collaboration!

Our next nomination of the day is from @longer
All artists pursue creativity so hard. When one is experiencing extreme fatigue, the images in his brain are often creative and beyond the constraints of reality. @longer experienced this situation and created this artwork. @longer has good sketching skills. He used inkpens to draw neat and meticulous lines. The little girl's head is surrounded by sea creatures. The little girl's action of blowing the fish is strange and unreasonable, but let this painting become more interesting.

Our next nomination of the day is from @romanie
Romanie captures a quite unique, alive island from 2025 using acrylics on wood. What is happening? When there is an imbalance in the nature, it always makes sure to find a way how to correct it. There are no more trees in the world to create the oxygen, but nature made sure to correct the imbalance. How? Find out @romanie’s post where she also revealed the secrets of how this island was formed.

Our next nomination of the day is from @slickhustler007
@slickhustler007 works in the towing business and has worked for 7 companies in the last year! It seems like he's had a run of bad luck with employers who want the maximum out of employees by paying them the minimum. Fortunately his current company really cares for employees and his working condition has improved a lot. In his post he shows us some of the cars he's towed, from a Lambo to a car involved in a shooting killing a person. Seems like there's no dull day at work.

Our next nomination of the day is from @tifbro
@tifbro usually shares creative hula hooping videos, or footage from her drone, or go-pro strapped to her bike. Today she shares this great video on how to make an easy sourdough bread using a new starter each time instead of the normal, "starter (a fermented dough) which you have to keep alive forever like a pet." Be sure to stick around for that satisfying crunch at the end of the video.

Our next nomination of the day is from @galca
Nothing more refreshing than to see a post with flowers! @galca not only shares us these beauties, she also shared some info on what we could do with them and its benefits.

Our next nomination of the day is from @quochuy
@quochuy recently finished an online course called “elite worm breeding” and have shared his findings and what he have learnt in the post. I’m not an insect lover but from @quochuy’s post you can tell he really enjoyed it. Check out his summary of the course, you can tell he have learnt a lot from the modules. Are you into worms? Check out this post!

Our final nomination of the day is from @zephalexia
As a parent, @zephalexia was tasked with creating a Headress for her child. She details the process of creating the 'Fruits & Veggies' Headress, and the art was definitely made with a lot of effort and love.

You deserve it so much :)
Congratulations to you and the minis 😍❤️
thanks you so much miss Abi , i really appreciate you always 😘❤️❤️❤️
Amazing pick by @smevirac. @leaky20’s post makes for a great read (and listening!) :)
Oooh, WOW – I'm floored by this unexpected honor – so deeply humbled and unspeakably grateful.
I've been so absent from the platform, dealing with significant life challenges. The launch of CreativeCoin drew me back in – reignited my enthusiasm – revived my energetic ability to show up.
To be honest, the post you've recognized here as exceptional enough to feature was only meant to be a brief share, containing just a few photos. The nostalgic retrospective that spilled out instead quite surprised me. A 'quick note' turned into a 3 day affair! I suppose all those months of silence had been building up; I needed an outlet.
Thank you, from the depths of me, for making it all feel worth it. <3
@veryspider – you're an absolute gem. Sending you a heartfelt squeeze.
zippppyyyyy ❤️
so lovely to see you returning to our fold 💖
i hope you are dealing well with the significant life challenges life has thrown at you. as from me, your talents and quality contents have been sorely missed!
love your spirit and your beautiful posts! hopefully we would see more of zippy back at steemit :)
❤️💖❤️
