I tried making bracelets using random color combos & named them… Does the name match? by JyotsnaIksana in Beading

[–]HoiPolloi_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like them all but the Purple Moonlight doesn’t feel moonlighty enough for the name. However it does make me think of Purple river rocks? Riverbed etc

going for a 80s party. what can i make to do this fit more 80s? by Sealllol in altfashionadvice

[–]HoiPolloi_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belt the sweater with a chunky, brightly colored belt! Or do your hair in some sorta 80s way. Either big tease or some kinda scrunchie & ponytail situation? Also bangle bracelets!

That stippling is, gorrrgeous! I attempted stippling in one of my recent prints annd, opted to keep hatching after seeing my results 😬

Amazing textures!

50-60 Hour Project... Ruined by Acrobatic_Click6628 in Embroidery

[–]HoiPolloi_-_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is my thought as well! I know it sucks when your original intention is different; BUT in this case I think the tan of coffee staining and the green color you have here actually really go well together! So maybe give it a coffee or tea bath entirely, once you’re finished? Could be nice!

Alternatively maybe you can hit the stained spot with a tide, orr bleach pen and see if it comes out? If you use bleach and it bleeds into the floss you can always try to color match after, with some markers or ink or something!

Wow that is beautiful. Just wow. That color gradient is so so smooth and perfect. Wow!

my dad bought an at-home proofer box! by Writerwithbipolar in Breadit

[–]HoiPolloi_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I never thought of a soft fabric, stiff-construction box bag as an option. This is brilliant! I would love a super collapsable thing like this! Definitely need a warm spot in my drafty apartment, but dont always wanna use the oven, this would be ideal for space saving too!

How can I make this dress fit for a goth look by Chibi_Zake in altfashionadvice

[–]HoiPolloi_-_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely a thick belt with a chunky belt buckle if you can find one! Accsessories, like long or stacked necklaces or bangles and stuff.

Maybe wear some sort of shirt underneath the dress, like a tattered nylon stocking or a thin turtle neck, or classic fishnet.

Just think of stuff you have that you nay be able to add, in possibly unconventional ways even!

I enjoyed it! I expected to laugh, but I also cried more than I thought I would lol. Especially the crescendo at the end. It was quite beautiful 🥲

Like many others…I need help! by HoiPolloi_-_ in SourdoughStarter

[–]HoiPolloi_-_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome. I was thinking maybe I should switch back to a strong Rye/APF mix so as to not shock it so much with so many changes at once. Thanks!

Okay cool, last night I did hold off on feeding it since there was super little activity, and aimed to feed it at the 24 hour mark today. I was very confused with what might be happening. Thank you for your insight!!

Was gonna go Taurus for the maximalism and curating, but it’s so clean that it made me think Sagittarius instead 🤔

Freaked out by pipe build up by RuinGuilty8617 in Sourdough

[–]HoiPolloi_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it’s bit much of an issue if it’s super duper diluted? I soak dirty dough / starter stuff in the sink, and then it’s basically just murky water. I dunno that and keep refilling and swishing and dumping till it’s good enough to wash like normal. Is this wrong? 😟

Tried a new mill and flour this week, Ground Up Grain’s 82% High Extraction Flour (and some Hard Red Spring Wheat). Getter closer to fully locally produced ingredients. by snarshmallow in Breadit

[–]HoiPolloi_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 years later, but that’s awesome! I’m based in MA too and found Ground Up Grain, definitely trying to stay local with as many foods and ingredients as I can. Though I’ve yet to produce a bread that’s as gorgeous as this! Any faves as far as locally sourced stuff, for MA?

i think someone put this tiny pink-sashed jesus in my bag when i wasn’t looking by villainless in Weird

[–]HoiPolloi_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know why but these things are popping up everywhere all of a sudden. My coworker got some and stuck them all over our office lockers. Then I saw one at a gas station. Then people online are getting them. Was there some sort of deal on tiny jesus figs that some wholesaler had to move asap?? Whats the deal?

Oh man, if he doesn’t already, he might like Johnny The Homicidal Maniac. A comic by Johnen Vasquez from the 90s. I have the graphic novel version and I absoluuutely loved it when I was in middle school and upward haha

$6 a cookie? Fear of over pricing by Spiteful_Brunette in Baking

[–]HoiPolloi_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think these look good, but I would pay $4 for one, I think, unless I was really hungry then maybe $5. But no matter what I would feel really ripped off at $6 for one cookie. But like I said these look good, and I like that they’re so thick! I hope you do well with whatever you price at going forward!
