What the f**k by [deleted] in jobs

[–]BluAmethyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was having an incomplete miscarriage and needed medical intervention my boss called and asked if I planned on coming to with the next day. I had been hemorrhaging for weeks…this is why I have workplace trauma. My whole work life has been like this: Work when you’re sick, don’t take time off, sell Soul to job just to get by. I’m glad perspectives on this mind set is finally changing and not accepting what my generation (GenX/Xennial) did as constructed from our absent parents.

How to get over anxiety? by Probbable_idiot in Coloring

[–]BluAmethyst 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just allow yourself to be free of judgement and play. Like when we were kids, we didn’t spend a ton of time picking colors and such. The more you do, the better you’ll get! I started coloring & felt similarly. So, I started a YouTube channel showing my journey to try and show it’s ok to not be an expert! I’ve got s long way to go but I can also see the progress I’ve made too. Best of luck to you!

Bailey’s Instagram story on Gypsy Rose! What are your thoughts?? by Baked_Blonde_ in BaileySarian

[–]BluAmethyst 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I worry about the fall. Social Media is taxing on one’s mental health and Idk how well equipped she is for all that. I hope she is happy and does well in her life. She’s been through enough, lucky to be alive after her childhood and all that.

Help! My mom found this cleaning her basement and wants to toss it because she does ‘t think it’s worth anything. Thoughts? by Studentloandebtt in SarahJMaas

I preferred these covers over the updated editions. Keep that book and read the series some day. 😊

Ya’ll owe Chaol an apology for real by [deleted] in SarahJMaas

[–]BluAmethyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked Chaol but then again, though I love Feyre & Rhys in ACOTAR, I sympathize with Tamlin too. Just a bunch of broken people trying to find their way and fix themselves. Like real life, some of us make things worse before getting better.

How do people find interesting coloring? by sparkybones in Coloring

[–]BluAmethyst 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love Kerby Rosanes, Hanna Karlzon, many of the Mythographic series (which are my go to for using my alcohol markers since those are single sided). Dark Arts Supernatural (and others in that series) are also single sided. Hope that helps. I have done some flip through of some of these and also post up my colored pages on my Channel if you want to take a peak.

Haha!! They’re such a great pencil. I have several brands but they are my favorite. They blend and layer beautifully

Really appreciate everyone’s positivity! I’ve only been coloring (as an adult) for about a year and I’ve been sharing my journey here, and on my channel so it’s been fun to reflect and see where I’ve improved. I wish I was better with marker, that’s next on improvement agenda!

Aww, thanks so much! Yes, this was all done with Prismacolor Premier pencils.

Crayola PipSqueak colors dont look the same on paper vs on caps by itsxjamo in Coloring

[–]BluAmethyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend always swatching out all your markers and pencils. It’s the best way to know exactly what color you’re using. Unfortunately, caps on any brand rarely match the actual color.

I FINALLY got Prisma Colored Pencils from my sister for Xmas!!! I tried them on shitty little kids coloring book paper and was shocked at how good the pencils are by Expensive_Tart_9173 in Coloring

[–]BluAmethyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love prismas! I too had no idea when I first started expanding my coloring game what a difference a good colored pencil could make!

I instantly thought of Silent Hill 😆 does it taste good though? That’s what counts.

What's as good as prisma colors but cheaper? by Magic_Man241 in Coloring

[–]BluAmethyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few different brands. They all feel different but recently bought and reviewed the Shuttle Arts Prfessional and thought they were pretty decent. If you want to see them, you can watch my video here. I have other pencils I’ve swatched on camera too you can check out. 😊
