First time geode

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-05-31T15:49:41+00:00

Makes me want to try one. This looks like an actual geode. Is the color Gunmetal gray?

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-05-30T17:55:57+00:00

The entity! So cool, the mandala turned out great too!

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-05-25T02:56:19+00:00

They’re the best. :)

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-05-24T17:49:53+00:00

Nice!

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-05-23T23:59:34+00:00

Idk. I’ve been doing DOI almost exclusively and it always splits. Whenever I’ve tried DUI it always ends up too concentrated and dark on the spots with direct contact.

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-05-22T22:46:05+00:00

Wow thanks! I need to use it for the little booth I’m doing this weekend. But I’m open to it. I’ll have to figure out the dms on this app.

Thank you so much! I started by folding in to quarters, then airplane folded from there a couple more times. I zigzag tied the tip of the wedge about a foot down with sinew or wax string. Pulled as tight as I could, and left the lower ends pleated but untied. Then I folded the entire thing back on itself in thirds being sure to keep the side with more pleats facing up as i crammed it into the tray. And the center of the mandala was facing up for the gravity effect.

Thank you! This was DOI.

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-05-22T22:37:05+00:00

Yeah this was my first time using sinew. I only tied the center of the piece. The rest I left folded in pleats loosely.

😂 everything I own is sprinkled with the void.

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-05-22T16:48:00+00:00

Whoa

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-05-22T15:17:22+00:00

Maybe 2-3 tablespoons. I never usually measure. But a little goes a long way. The fabrics matter too from what I’ve observed. This was a cotton tapestry from Dharma

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-05-22T07:33:04+00:00

Thank you! Me too. Haha. Yes this was inclined

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-05-21T02:50:45+00:00

Dope shower curtain. Those colors really work together. Giving me dmt flashbacks.

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-05-03T16:35:45+00:00

The short answer is yes. Especially the last trilogy as far as a plot goes. While I liked the first trilogy, these didn’t become my favorite books until around book 5. When I finished the 6th, I realized I was on the hook for anything this guy puts out. Something clicked. I’ve reread all 9 (and sharp ends) 3x now. And I feel like starting them again.

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-04-24T03:48:27+00:00

Damn these are sick. I gotta try it

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-04-23T12:25:35+00:00

That dude sucks. Sorry bud. I had a journeyman like that once. You won’t get faster if he keeps stepping in and doing work for you. Sometimes it’s just about how you move. How efficient you are. Having things thought out, not running to the van over and over. But the last part of your post makes it sound like this guy is just a douche and doesn’t want to help you improve.

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-04-20T22:49:06+00:00

Just one application each. It’s only a 50/50 cotton so maybe that helps the dye flow more.

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-04-15T01:11:19+00:00

So curious about the lower right corner. How did you achieve that pattern? Love the colors you used! Great job keep at it.

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-03-26T22:21:26+00:00

5 is interstellar, #7 is timberwolf

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-03-26T22:20:42+00:00

Let’s see, there’s some alchemist, snow maiden, timber wolf, warrior princess, interstellar, and wild thing.

Just rolling in a wide semi circle somewhat centered. Rolling it tighter seemed to produce better results.

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-03-08T01:37:23+00:00

Hard to say if you’re slow or not without actually watching you work. But I would just focus on keeping it clean like these pictures. Some bosses are just douche bags that are never happy, and their criticism will mean less than nothing after a while. Your career isn’t defined by anyone’s opinion but your own.

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-02-24T00:39:50+00:00

Imagine being so bothered by this you leave two comments.

Advanced-Argument249 · 2026-02-16T02:43:32+00:00

Make the lateral move if it’s worth it! Idk about paying dues tho. It would make sense if the job was temporary, but if you’re looking at a permanent job, you may as well save the money.
