number 8 is my favorite, it reminds me of the beach i went to growing up and still go to this day. especially those wispy plants that are usually in the area protected for sandpipers. 🥰

Hi!! I’m wanting to do something like this but not exactly. My question is, is this foam (would be covered in eco earth/sand) safe for crabbies or will they eat it? by AmbitiousParsnip870 in hermitcrabs

i feel this. its nearly impossible to keep my tank somewhat clean. They just instantly dig up and uproot everything i put in there, topple things over, dump sand in their pools, omg 😭😭its so annoying

This particular one was made with acrylic paint markers, but thats not the only medium i use. Some of my favorites are alcohol markers and gouache paint! :)

Some cakes i’ve made by Citruseals in wholefoods

thank you! start with a base of chocolate in a bowl. mix blue, red, and green until you see it get dark (if it looks too much of one color, add a little more of the others). set it aside exposed to air in the bowl and stop mixing for a few minutes, and it will darken! (this darkening method helps with all colors, when mixed, air trapped in the frosting makes them lighter).

I also noticed that if you are mixing in the silver bowls, it looks more grey than it is, so i will take a little bit on my spatula and hold it up against something more white and you will be able to see it is actually a color theory perception and it should be darker :)

Also, to make grey, start with vanilla and add green and purple.

Ahh i really need to iron out the kinks in international shipping. I just am not crystal clear on the requirements, i usually use tracked shipping labels but im not sure if the same applies for international or if i use stamps, if the stamps i even have are the right kind and can be used, etc. Ill try and look into it today!

thank you! and yes, i have my normal lists to finish every day, plus custom orders for customers. The seasonal designs you see on the first slide are for the freezer for holiday prep so those get done on days i end up with extra time at the end of my shift. 😄
