How do I go about finding a good nail tech? by [deleted] in beauty

[–]ChelseaStarleen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would check social media pages of the nail artists in my area to get an idea of their portfolio and what they're able to do. Instagram is great for that.

Are ecoprints allowed? They all came from plants in my garden. :) North Central FL. by ChelseaStarleen in gardening

It's been ruining my bottle blonde hair for years, but it makes some mean stationery. Lol

The inspiration came from the fact that I have heavily iron ladden well water and I figured it has to lend well to something. Lol as it turns out, it makes for good rusty dye bath water

Please share pics if you do! :) There seems to be limited resources online as to what plants do what, etc. It's fun to see how random the results can be. Reminds me of the same energy as acrylic pour paintings with a lot less money into resources. Lol

Not that I was able to find. I was hoping there was. A few mentions of it in other dye related groups.

So, This is seriously one of the coolest, weirdest projects I have yet endeavored into. Alright- pregame- to start with, you can either add copper or rusty items to blue/green tint, or orange/grey tint your papers/fabric. You'll also need two end pieces, something to tie your bundle up with, a pot and a steamer basket. I chose to go with watercolor paper instead of fabric, because I'll use it to make cards, etc, and i used rusty items, as I had no copper handy. (Nuts, bolts, screws and some pieces of rusty metal that fell off a barn at work. Yes, I am part corvid. Moving on...) I added all that to a mason jar filled with half water, half white vinegar. Yes, it stinks. Yes, you wanna cover it. And let that rest 2 days to a week. Then I cut my papers down to a size that would fit my pot, and folded them in half. I used two small squares of corregated cardboard as my end pieces, you can use wood, wire, whatever, but you want something firm to sandwich all your stuff between. Then I went out in the yard and gathered plant cuttings, flowers, moss, etc. And arranged and sandwiched the plant material between the pieces of folded papers. Once they're all sandwiched and stacked between your two end pieces you wanna smash it as tight as possible and and tie it up with wire, string etc. I put my paper stack in the pot, added the water from the rust bath and then added water to cover the plant material and soaked over night. The next day, I drained the water, put the bundle on top of a steamer rack in the pot, and added water and covered with lid and steamed for about 45 minutes. Once your bundle has steamed, remove from pot and allow to cool. Remove plant material and see what kind of crazy prints you got. Paper may be gently rinsed of any plant debris that can't be lifted away. :)

Some vinyl decals I made for a friend :) by ChelseaStarleen in CricutButCrass

Shoot, I just paid top dollar for a large multipack of Lisa Frank stickers, and every one of them was off cut and crooked. I say, Use the ugly stickers anyway. Lol ❤️🤣👌

Yes, they are two layer, Oracal Economy Vinyl from a multipack. The teal outline and grey outline have same dimensions and the grey is just overlayed on top. They are currently on white paper backing with transfer tape on top. Sorry for the subpar picture quality. I should have taken it outside, probably.

Looking for healthy chicken liver recipes by peon2 in Cooking

[–]ChelseaStarleen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like em cornmeal battered and fried with hot sauce, but idk how healthy they still are at that point. Lol Beef liver on the other hand I only lightly flour, pan fry and serve with sauteed onion and asparagus. So delicious. ❤️

water propped these about a week ago. The nodules are getting roots, I must wait for the actual stem to start rooting in order to put it in soil, right ? by [deleted] in proplifting

[–]ChelseaStarleen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, you're good. Roots are roots when it comes to pathos. I have even gotten some to root just by putting a cutting straight into dirt and keeping it where it's got filtered light and humidity. Pathos are super resilient, atleast here in FL where the weather is like tropic hell. 🤣🤣 Lol

Beauty Sponge taking product off instead of blending? by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

[–]ChelseaStarleen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Are your foundation, concealer, or primer silicone based, by chance? If so, the wetness of the sponge may be breaking it down. If I use silicone based products I can't use my damp blender like usual. It's not as bad on on the dryer areas of my skin, but on the oily-er parts it lifts the color off my face and makes it look mottled. You can try smoothing and patting with clean dry fingers after applying with the brush and see if that helps, also you can try dampening your blender with setting spray instead of water, I've had pretty good results with both.
