Another try at uploading videos of my moving gradient test on my cell phone...
I created a simple clock that is made of moving, colorful gradients on a black background. The purpose of the test was to try to find a way to have gradients merge with each other without unsightly masks removing parts of other gradients. I found a relatively simple way to do that but don't know if it's energy efficient or not (eg, uses too much battery) - I'll need to run tests and gather information first.
This is the debug variation that shows radial lines from the center to each "hand" as well as the integer value of each gradient (converted to clock time). Each gradient's position is a percent of the time around the clock and is continuous, not discrete, which is why the position of the gradients may not match the numbers on each gradient.
Whilst looking for signal wire support brackets, I came across this. not sure what it is, but it could be part of a gradient marker, as the line dropped towards Bath. Can anyone clarify?
I felt like getting kinda fancy!
This weekend I pained my nails with OPI Kyoto Pearl (the frosty white base coat here). I felt like making it fancier at the end of the week so I did some gradient glitter tips at the laundromat. :)
The tips are OPI "Teenage Dream," and this was actually super easy! I built it up in 3 coats: first a glitter coat on the tips (like for a french manicure), then a second coat from about halfway down the nail all the way to the tips, then a third coat about 3/4 down the nail to the tips. I tried to make the 3rd coat pretty thin as I started it so it would look gradual. Topcoat on top of everything.
I like it! I'm SUPER INTO glitter nail polish now. Oooh, sparkles. Love. I probably should start cleaning up my nail beds and cuticle areas better after I put polish on.
Also, my problem with bubbling that I was having has mostly gone away. I've noticed that several things made the difference - thin coats are good, but VERY important is waiting for the coats to dry. Honestly, I pretty much need to wait like 10 or 15 minutes between coats which seems excessive, but whatever. The final thing I've noticed is that when I do my nails when it's warm, it's way more likely to bubble. Painting in the early morning or at night is the best.

Pattern: Smartphone Mittens by me, because I the gradient yarn to flow from top to bottom
Yarn: my own gradient handspun two-ply from FLUFF Rambouillet Combed Top in Ripe Eggplant
Needles: US 7 - 4.5 mm
I wouldn't call these successful yet - this one is the proto-type, and I'll rip and re-knit it. But pretty close!
Another railway survivor, this marks the lowest point of the branch close to the three-quarter mile marker. The 1 in 528 points towards Harrow; the other post (illegible) denotes the gentle climb towards the terminus at Stanmore.
