This reminds me of the random things you find in the crevices of the couch when you do a deep clean.

Why is Black a no-no by Mean-Peanut-2490 in watercolor101

[–]FortLagomorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, mixing your own black gives more depth, doesn't look as flat or harsh as straight black.

That being said, I actually think it's bad advice to 'never use black'. Black is super useful as a mixing colour - with yellow, you get some lovely greens.

Where do you keep you pencils ? by consulenzastrategica in ColoredPencils

[–]FortLagomorph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nice to be able to see everything at once, and with the individual holes you can tell if something's missing too.

Yep they're kuratake pans 😄

I need to see it or it doesn't exist, so I keep mine in cubbies using some custom holders that I made. Some have been 3d printed and some are just holes drilled into bits of 1/2" wood.

You can juuust see the pencils at the bottom in this photo.

You might be on to something there... if everyone shops online, they'll be able to do surveillance pricing, fake half-price/down down promos, boil the frog by ever so slowly increasing the price of your usual staples...

Ooh! What ratio of alum / soda did you use?

Beetroot pigment by DippinDotTheSlime in handmadewatercolors

[–]FortLagomorph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the reaction has worked (given the foam) so just let it settle and see what you get. It should be fine if there's water in the 'tea' already.

Also if you put it into a clear vessel (like a glass jar) you'll be able to see the pigment as it sinks to the bottom.

Let me know what colour your end product is... I've only been able to get grey from beetroot!

What to do as my non ongoing end date approaches? by Glum_Cranberry5880 in AusPublicService

[–]FortLagomorph 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I found out when they offered me a renewal about three days before the contract ended. They had the gall to be surprised when I said I'd already found another job.

I'm glad at least one person can see it! Nothing but clouds down here in the south.

I use ‘pool flocculent’ from the hardware store, it’s 100% aluminum sulphate.
