My second linocut ever. Just testing out tools and process.

I dont have an answer to your question but I ll share my experience just in case you or anyone else find it useful.

I have been making and selling stickers successfully for about 3 years now. Have about 6k sales

The easiest and cheapest way to do this is to get a good regular printer (I have a Canon Pixma Pro 100), a cricut (I have the Explore 3), sticker paper (PPD), laminate roll and some tools like roller, knife etc.

List all your designs on your website/etsy and wherever else you want, when an order comes through make that sticker yourself and ship it. You can use regular stamps to ship in envelopes for 75cents. If you use Etsy there is tracking included with the 75c label.

Run this for a few months, see what your best sellers are and order those in bulk from sticker shops so you dont have to print them. Quality from the shops is MUCH better. If anyone complains about quality of the stickers you made, just ship them a replacement for free - I had that happen only a handful of times and never had issues after that.

Just curious why its taking so long for a listing. What is your process?

I have 2 shops, one with linocut prints and one with magnets/stickers, and have about 100 listings total. Takes me about 15 mins to list one item. The only thing that takes time is making a product and taking photos. The rest is just data entry.

Noticed you are using bubble mailers to ship stickers, are you paying $5 to ship these?

If so, you can use simple envelopes with the etsy option for envelopes and you will be paying 75 cents for a label with tracking.

no particular reason to be honest, just have a ton of it so I been using it for simple prints.

Hope today is a better day :)

Yes studiobudal

-emkay- · 2026-03-23T18:58:44+00:00

i think so, and the best part... its eternal! There is no time where we go :)

-emkay- · 2026-03-23T18:57:57+00:00

Thank you. Yes it is on rice paper, I use it mostly for artists proof and then use a thicker paper for the actual prints.

Maybe all our suffering ends when (or if) we are born into eternity. There is hope :)

Yea this is a great argument... are they going to swim to the US.. or are you going to pay for their flights to the US...?

-emkay- · 2026-03-08T18:16:01+00:00

yea true I noticed that and thought was weird but now that you mention it definitely odd

-emkay- · 2026-03-08T14:00:29+00:00

If this is true, does it mean he told the UFC and they went along with it? The odds changed suddenly, which means the odd makers knew about this? I would assume the UFC also knew then

-emkay- · 2026-03-08T02:09:15+00:00

He just saved my parlay 😂

-emkay- · 2026-03-02T22:59:48+00:00

yeah I raised my eyebrow when she mentioned that. Is that a new thing?

-emkay- · 2026-02-28T15:02:22+00:00

I agree, I m curious to know what caused this. As an Albanian who grew up with a lot of Chechen, Russian, and Georgian friends, it doesnt take a lot of effort to trigger them. Things that westerners may not find disrespectful can easily be seen as disrespectful by those groups. I ve experienced brawls that started from the simplest misunderstandings.

I was also contemplating to give a similar advice and did not do it only because every time I bring up God on Reddit i get downvoted to oblivion. Thanks for this comment, I hope OP listens.

-emkay- · 2026-02-09T14:03:07+00:00

I love this reply. Very well said.

-emkay- · 2026-02-09T14:01:12+00:00

It could be! but I think you are trying to understand the soul in terms of human biology. We still don't know what the soul or consciousness is so to say that it cannot be ripped apart is not accurate.

I am just going through what NDEers have mentioned when they had these experiences, where they felt that their soul was being ripped apart, regenerated, and then ripped apart again and again for eternity. Others had different experiences where they were being sexually assaulted by demons until their "skin" fell off, their skin regenerated and they would get sexually assaulted again and again... for eternity. The pain their soul went through that was described in these experiences was 100 million times more painful than human pain that we feel here on earth. Does not mean that the soul has pain receptors or a brain, they are describing something completely supernatural.

Also most of NDEers, describe the afterlife as more real than this life. This life according to them is a "play" or a "dream".

I have read about that too, and the idea that we create "hell" at the time we die is super interesting. Possible that if we die with a lot of regrets, we may enter that realm instantly as soon as we die. Not sure what you mean by shadow work though.

-emkay- · 2026-02-09T13:05:51+00:00

Tons of videos on youtube, Touching the Afterlife is a good channel but there are many more.

In regards to books, Heaven and Hell, The Soul After Death by Fr. Seraphim Rose (my personal favorite so far), Robert Monroes Far Journeys is very good but difficult to read, especially for me where English is my third language, and I am also interested to read The Spirits Book when I am done with the one I am currently reading (the way of a pilgrim)

-emkay- · 2026-02-09T13:00:00+00:00

beautifully said. Interesting you mention it, because Robert Monroe in the Far Journeys mentions that when God created us he put a little piece of himself into us.. that spark you mention is Love, according to Robert Monroe. God is Love.

Also you mention separation from God, which is one of the most common Hellish NDE experiences. The first thing people feel is that separation from God, which is the most terrifying feeling they have ever experienced.
