Welcome to the 256th issue of @OCD Daily!

Issue #256 highlights content from 10 Steemit Content Creators! The OCD team continues its search throughout Steemit to find you the undervalued gems, as provided by relatively new users. Today our curators found you 10 new pieces of original content! We strive to find works that are provided by newer Steemit users, that may not have the audience which their quality content deserves. @OCD strives to help provide that audience, and intends to showcase Steemit users who put in the extra effort to create creative, original content. **The 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, votes are tallied, and the pieces with the most votes are placed into the compilation.* We encourage you to visit these blogs and to 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 as chosen by our curators is undervalued, but there is always one piece that rises to the top. That piece is seen as universally appreciated and valued making it OCD’s Top Nomination of the Day. __________________ https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmf43vqmM3Bnn53RfBVXuuxCgMEqCwdc9aQSUFesZdq1Vj/ocdtop.jpg ![ocd-temitayo.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYZUBQTePNCaAYcouvJibnmczod51GDZABowgNih23jjc/ocd-temitayo.JPG) Our top nomination of the day is from @temitayo-pelumi, who shares some great information on metals fabrication, specifically the casting of metal. Readers are given a tour of a typical foundry and then shown the casting procedure. Don't miss this very educational post! Curated by: @gniksivart [Peeping into the Foundry – Sand casting, a production technique (how is it done?)](https://steemit.com/stemng/@temitayo-pelumi/peeping-into-the-foundry-sand-casting-a-production-technique-how-is-it-done) ![ocd01.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTnM7ePq9rGj4JYPTphjyQLTLcgtRSkU8eFtVv5nbcURF/ocd01.png) _______________________________ https://steemitimages.com/DQmezd9WYBFWm1Wa7uPGDG7SfChs5FNRKenkACQxV5oAPaQ/ocdnominationofthe%20dayyy.jpg ![ocd-mikesthoughts.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPq3L55euVEpaMCv1vLfizfLBZUjXzZE5D85GXd9UzQor/ocd-mikesthoughts.JPG) In our next nomination, @mikesthoughts steps over the initial “blank piece of paper” barrier and creates some ink drawings of skulls. Why skulls? The artist has an obsession with faces, and to draw faces you've got to understand the structure that lies underneath! Curated by: @ma1neevent [My Creative Journey 24 + Watch me Draw! Ep. 04](https://steemit.com/art/@mikesthoughts/my-creative-journey-24-watch-me-draw-ep-04) ![ocd02.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcNMy9Z83UkEC9ysM9ws25zTgYETVU5TPVzfaKpoJzesu/ocd02.png) _________________________ https://steemitimages.com/DQmezd9WYBFWm1Wa7uPGDG7SfChs5FNRKenkACQxV5oAPaQ/ocdnominationofthe%20dayyy.jpg ![ocd-socent.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ2cwNrLgB67z6kQKZoicwmBztY7uYVRVXGJVHuUhkmGc/ocd-socent.JPG) Our next post shows some of the steps you can take to raise the vibration or the energy of the space around you. In fact, @socent shares that there are five simple (which doesn't necessarily mean easy) steps you can take right now. If you're looking for some inspiration, this post is sure to fit the bill. Curated by: @gmuxx [How to Raise the Energy of the Space Around You](https://steemit.com/spirituality/@socent/how-to-raise-the-energy-of-the-space-around-you) ![ocd03.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZLoQwMGbwbYs1hZynGnLwhPHzda6QFnAw8PYeta6EcJj/ocd03.png) _________________________ https://steemitimages.com/DQmezd9WYBFWm1Wa7uPGDG7SfChs5FNRKenkACQxV5oAPaQ/ocdnominationofthe%20dayyy.jpg ![ocd-valhalla.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdtGEtcCSvjSepkxgypwaNNz346gSQ8eNFiXybRLB7BpW/ocd-valhalla.JPG) Our next nomination is a touching and uplifting post by @val.halla on her father's recovery after a stroke. Thankfully, he was lucky to have had a stroke in an area of the brain that didn't cause any lasting damage. And thanks to his stubborn, independent spirit, he has been able to recover quite well! Curated by: @anomadsoul [My dad's recovery after a Stroke](https://steemit.com/blog/@val.halla/my-dad-s-recovery-after-a-stroke) ![ocd04.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmarxTQzMpeNG6tkW84tmx9LKn48zSGBq9CfU9atzRWkB8/ocd04.png) _________________________ https://steemitimages.com/DQmezd9WYBFWm1Wa7uPGDG7SfChs5FNRKenkACQxV5oAPaQ/ocdnominationofthe%20dayyy.jpg ![ocd-cydbedthia.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTvCTdmM5bURiyJKimiWC116Hzqy5Q1LcBGXKfRnXuCod/ocd-cydbedthia.JPG) Come along with @cynbedthia on her trip to San Diego! The city was a bit quieter than she expected, but a beautiful day and beautiful surroundings. But how does San Diego compare to her homes of Spain and Mexico? You'll have to check out the post to find out! Curated by: @elteamgordo [Our trip to San Diego and how I feel there in comparison to Mexico](https://steemit.com/travel/@cynbedthia/our-trip-to-san-diego-and-how-i-feel-there-in-comparison-to-mexico) ![ocd05.png.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQme7ufhCfJuGkpkdGordpGUgHN7uRsh5jkesTyZtdRaGFV/ocd05.png.jpg) _________________________ https://steemitimages.com/DQmezd9WYBFWm1Wa7uPGDG7SfChs5FNRKenkACQxV5oAPaQ/ocdnominationofthe%20dayyy.jpg ![ocd-keithboone.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdYHhGoBdhgsQDZQL4xPvxshtq1e9EhNtkdMnzhf2BxZh/ocd-keithboone.JPG) Next, join @keithboone in a somewhat blue Monochrome Monday as he photographs the bridges of Revelstoke, British Columbia. These bridges span the Columbia river and the photography is breathtaking. What more could you want in a post? How about a monochrome freight train gif? Curated by: @jznsamuel [Bridges Across The Columbia River](https://steemit.com/photoessay/@keithboone/bridges-across-the-columbia-river) ![ocd06.png.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUmJDZGeZYEN4cHW8aCy5k45sRgksrmfhHsVxQA4W1TE5/ocd06.png.jpg) _________________________ https://steemitimages.com/DQmezd9WYBFWm1Wa7uPGDG7SfChs5FNRKenkACQxV5oAPaQ/ocdnominationofthe%20dayyy.jpg ![ocd-addempsea.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmY6qkQk8zNXZZFPfAmDxkvcsMWEUr9REWrwNEG94KBGrA/ocd-addempsea.JPG) Our next post comes from @addempsea who explains to us the physics behind medical imaging using X-ray radiography. His own X-ray prompted the curiosity behind figuring out all about gammy rays, ultraviolet light, and X-rays! And he even explains how to improve both the sharpness and the contrast of an X-ray. So much to learn! Curated by: @jeanpi1908 [X-ray Radiography : A Cut-section Of You Without Cutting You Open](https://steemit.com/stemng/@addempsea/x-ray-radiography-a-cut-section-of-you-without-cutting-you-open) ![ocd07.png.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdMjqx8266Udp3FiKftdKt1PP6enrmzXLiTSuT3WEJC3A/ocd07.png.jpg) _________________________ https://steemitimages.com/DQmezd9WYBFWm1Wa7uPGDG7SfChs5FNRKenkACQxV5oAPaQ/ocdnominationofthe%20dayyy.jpg ![ocd-ingrid.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmf2dkyASc9WZF3jmDzj9oBEvqWKMhcw881fjMJB6DVcwi/ocd-ingrid.JPG) Next, don't miss @ingridkornelia's openmic post, where she sings a Spanish song “Vuela con el viento.” And don't worry, she provides an English translation, too. A beautiful rendition of this “medicine song.” Curated by: @cabelindsay [Steemit openmic week 84 - Cover of "Vuela con el viento" by Ayla Schafer](https://steemit.com/openmic/@ingridkornelia/steemit-openmic-week-84-cover-of-vuela-con-el-viento-by-ayla-schafer) ![ocd08.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWzsbXZvu2AKSFwzkXSE6LdG73DgvrZzT7PS9q65KyneW/ocd08.JPG) _________________________ https://steemitimages.com/DQmezd9WYBFWm1Wa7uPGDG7SfChs5FNRKenkACQxV5oAPaQ/ocdnominationofthe%20dayyy.jpg ![ocd-onegood.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdkBQceBN2P1iGxKZMXYqaidQ3qY8jmEsFurb3MKhh3J8/ocd-onegood.JPG) Up next is a post from @onegood, a Steemian from Aceh, Indonesia. He shares how he helps his parents in the rice fields, making sure animals don't eat all the sprouting rice plants there. The shoots that have just come up in the first week after planting are so green and beautiful – this post is like taking a trip there to see them! Curated by: @geke [ulog (day 2)Busy every day to help my parents](https://steemit.com/ulog/@onegood/ulog-day-2-busy-every-day-to-help-my-parents) ![ocd09.png.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdNpRY97XieRhgcUoxsurRfVEwWGiRSBSxgHtBnw9vkxC/ocd09.png.jpg) _________________________ https://steemitimages.com/DQmezd9WYBFWm1Wa7uPGDG7SfChs5FNRKenkACQxV5oAPaQ/ocdnominationofthe%20dayyy.jpg ![ocd-mattphilleo.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmRSAVHzxBQimoQTGYK1hvsA4KpxcVeuvvXHAAKp6nngUP/ocd-mattphilleo.JPG) Our last post for the day comes from @mattphilleo who shares his original illustration for a book by Karen Meyer, “The Young Man from India.” This illustration is for the book's fourth chapter, in which a boy is carving out the name Jim Clifford. And the post includes the text of the fourth chapter! Curated by: @m31 [New Book Illustration Project, Chapter 4](https://steemit.com/art/@mattphilleo/new-book-illustration-project-chapter-4) ![ocd10.png.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ4Mhh2FLy47F8AXyhaLN3pGpkRwad13bja4ZV4t9dp4A/ocd10.png.jpg) _________________________ ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYPh7hBCiG2arZD17XJng9qkpLqttiL8g42vj1NATF9mk/image.png) **This concludes today’s edition of the OCD Daily.
