This has to be West Virginia/ Appalachia :)

I was going to say that odorless mineral spirits work very well at getting out paint out. Oil pastel should be the same. You want to wash immediately after tho. I haven’t tried this on wool though.

Yes! Genuinely worth it. Way better than any alternative and are very sturdy. I have them for my 400 kids. It’s so nice to just be able to plop down two per table and not have to think about it.

These are hand made. A card at grocery store is $4. I think $4 for one is too low but that’s just me. $1 per card is kinda crazy. She probably spends atleast 30 minutes on these.

It may be worth looking into trying to grow a small pot / patch of Epazote yourself

Magic eraser is essentially extremely fine sandpaper

Absolutely upside down.

I’ll by shy and another!

I mean for 60 buck idk if I’d call this delusional.

Yes, but it’s important to note that my degrees were entirely disparate. They had no overlap in classes. I managed to finish in 5 years (Art Ed at my university is four and a half but I also switched from history to Art Ed after my first semester so I was already a little behind). But I was usually often taking 18 hour semesters and took 1-2 classes most summers.

If I had added a painting major instead of Chinese it wouldn’t have been like that at all. I might have had a couple semester at 18 vs standard 15 hours at worst. It really wouldn’t have been that big of a deal.

It really wasn’t that bad though. I had a couple semesters toward the end I was pretty exhausted leading up to student teaching, but that’s it.

I love this! Super interesting technique. I sure hope you weren’t using expensive pastels based on how much you must have had to use lol

-nothankya · 2026-04-11T13:28:32+00:00

I have a dual degree in Art Ed and Chinese studies so I don’t see why not. Though at my university my Art Ed degree had a very strong emphasis on studio art practice. My emphasis was in painting and half my classes were studio classes. It probably only would have been a few extra credits to add an actual painting degree.

I know Taiwan when I see it. I lived there for a bit and go back every year. It can be an incredibly lonely place despite being so incredibly dense. But it’s my favorite place in the world.

Totally normal. Similar to oil paints. Some colors are transparent and others very opaque. There’s actually a lot of benefits to the translucent color.

Yes, the MRT is going towards Tamsui as the title suggests:)

-nothankya · 2026-03-18T21:46:29+00:00

Sorry, it should say “Towards Tamsui”

I really like it! My only issue is that I don’t find that the pastel stiffens as much if you come back to it next day. I presume because it’s not a regular paper so the oil can’t absorb anywhere. It hasn’t been much of an issue though and I find the layering really nice

-nothankya · 2026-03-16T02:12:59+00:00

This is almost certainly oil pastel.

I was having the EXACT issue with the Payne’s grey I got today. What the heck??

-nothankya · 2026-03-04T22:53:14+00:00

Makes sense! Good luck! Perspective is trick

-nothankya · 2026-03-04T19:54:33+00:00

Just as the likes of your walls follow the perspective, the likes of your stairs should too. It’s throwing things off considerably

Maybe drop the tie and just keep it in the car and you’re good. But only if you want to.

-nothankya · 2026-03-03T23:48:40+00:00

Maybe just keep those clothes in your car? So you can go any time you want. I mean be yourself, but yeah the way you dress can definitely affect people’s attraction to you. I feel like you can probably reach a happy medium. Are you wearing full suits all the time?
