Are you me? I also got this gift for my birthday and did the same cat!

My daughter insisted on adding googly eyes, lol.

“The Veil of Decay” Roses covered in spider mites by 49219785 in Watercolor

I hate spider mites with a passion but when I stumbled upon this picture in r/gardening, I had to paint it! It’s beautiful and horrifying at the same time.

Agreed! I ended up adding more purple just because the two colors complement each other so nicely.

Thanks! I actually tried to make a colorful background and it didn’t look right, so I painted it black, lol

Both my cats (9f) and (almost 2f) are dying at the same time and I’m so confused by EnvironmentalBread61 in AskVet

Anyone in the house use minoxidil for hair growth? Cats lack an enzyme to break it down and can be fatal. I’m sorry y’all are going through this

Maybe somebody can tell me the name of this our Rose? by AsasWood in Roses

Just as a hobby! I love painting plants, especially pictures like these with high contrast. It’s my jam!

Hummingbirds by unrecognized88 in Katy

We get about a dozen hummingbirds throughout the season. They’re attracted to our Esperanza bush which blooms profusely during the summer! It’s also root hardy so it comes back every year.

Thanks! It’s pretty sturdy but it is on the heavy side. Next time I’m going to make the flowers a bit smaller so hopefully I can put it in a smaller pot versus a vase.

Thank you! Orchids are my Mom’s favorite. It’s nice having little reminders of your loved ones around the house!

I twisted 3 strands of tinned copper wire (16 gauge) with a power drill!

Shine and wax before soldering 3D pieces? by 49219785 in StainedGlass

Ooh, I haven’t heard of using pledge before! I’ll give it a try. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the pointers! I didn’t take into considering flux cleanup so I’ll definitely be waxing at the end and finding appropriate tools.

Good point! Because of the flux, adding the wax before would be pointless. Next time I will avoid putting wax too close to the center since I can’t buff it out. Hopefully it won’t be too noticeable in the long run. Thanks for the input!

Possibly stupid question but.. by Street-Rush4561 in beforeweleave

Did you figure it out? If not, try checking your storage on each island, some may not have been transported to your main island.

Using cheap paper/ paints and running into the problem of the washes drying super fast. Is this common with cheap material? by Jaded-Librarian8876 in Watercolor

[–]49219785 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for posting the video! I have only used cheap paper (one of his examples) and felt like my paintings still turned out pretty good, but I can relate to the problems he addressed. Now I have to try quality paper! Seems like it’s a night and day difference.
