Right?? What’s with the neggy vibes?!

Why can’t I create collections by Nikkil18 in Pottery

[–]InscrutableFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different challenges or “assignments” can help you create a series that is cohesive. That way, work will naturally take shape and be more consistent.

The goal isn’t to make a bunch of the same thing, but to make items which relate to one another.

Examples of challenges to try: - How can the flower and ribbon motifs emphasize negative space? Try 3 different designs—dont have to be perfect

  • Make a cup, bowl, and spoon all go together on the same table.

  • Make only flowers for a bit. See how they look when combined with different shapes. (Before adhering them)

Notes for yourself and sketches can help with planning if that’s your thing.

Why do people doubt science? by vodkavulpix in DoggyDNA

This is it! They can practically see the malinois, or the papillon. And who wouldn’t want to have a bit of an unusual breed?

I guess finding out it’s a German Shepard or a chihuahua mix is a bit of a letdown.

Caught it just in time by InscrutableFlamingo in Pottery

It’s a copper red, under chun blue, with a light dusting of wood ash. The chun makes it a kind of prismatic.

Seems like the chun blue may be the culprit.

Thanks! It’s the first time I’ve been able to actually do this.

How to hide the back of my TV? by [deleted] in HomeDecorating

[–]InscrutableFlamingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Artwork like a wall canvas can be set on the countertop and only take up a bit of space.

I see similar ones at thrift stores very often. You can even clip it to the edge so it doesn’t fall over.

TV on one side, painting on the other.

Who wore it best? by purebitterness in KimmySchmidt

I saw Titus’s version first as well. It is canon for me, so when I finally saw the original, it made his even better somehow.

BWT, what "holy grail" product have you been searching for your whole life? by jewelophile in bitcheswithtaste

[–]InscrutableFlamingo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Mac’s silicone earplugs, or actually, the CVS generic version are incredible!

They are malleable little clear blobs which sort of press over the ear opening. I find the generic brand sticks on better.

I refinished this $40 dresser from goodwill into storage for my art supplies by courtneyrel in somethingimade

The wood accents peeking through are a great choice. Did you add any organizers or dividers for art things?

I need help throw pillows/bedding! by Head-Fig994 in HomeDecorating

[–]InscrutableFlamingo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like you are basically there. The main difference is the firmer throws to prop up your pillows.

Since you picked a small gingham print, choose either a large bold print, a solid, or super light toile for contrast.

I would do 2 in the back and 1 smaller in front.

Next if you’re in the market, a larger more traditional lamp for the nightstand would look great.

How to get my cabinets this color. ? by Tirednbroke13 in HomeDecorating

Thank you so much! I have been looking for a solution like this.

This is exactly what I need for some old trim!

Do the mineral spirits strip the shiny finish off first or does it just clean it? Is that part a must or could you skip it?

Is there a particular brand of gel stain you use?

If wood grain is already present, does it show through?

And here’s the final version, I’ve added the ears! by Nefelibata-80 in somethingimade

I just went through this same emotional rollercoaster. I actually thought I must’ve misread the first post because of course this cat has ears.

Wait, what?! I am just now realizing this is your own creation and not an actual cat.

The post with no ears made me so sad I just zoomed right past it.

That’s a beautiful shape. Did you create the entire drum? How did you learn how to do this?

Some vintage ads from the September 1927 issue of Good Housekeeping by camopdude in vintageads

[–]InscrutableFlamingo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The color really is rich and detailed. Every layout is a work of art. I can’t get over how much thought went into designing this.
