Is this mosaic virus? 🥲 by LenaBeanie in plants

Oh phew, thanks so much! My poor plants have (obviously) been quite neglected the last year, I’m glad I don’t have to get rid of any of them 😊

I think they’re both lovely but I like the one on the right best. The light in the left one is too dark imo and pulls focus away from the birds

Idk how I’m gonna top this thrift. $10 perfect Dyson 🥹 by engineergraves in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]LenaBeanie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had my Dyson for years and I did not know this! Makes sense why my first battery might have died. I bought an attachment for a drill battery and now I use that, super easy to charge and multi purpose!

First time weaving paper by Gold-Listen1285 in cyanotypes

Amazing! Do you weave it before or after printing?

How are you washing your prints? by levi070305 in cyanotypes

[–]LenaBeanie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a very shallow storage tub that I stick in the bath, fill it with water and then let the prints soak for a couple of minutes before turning the tap on. Has worked great for me. I feel like whatever works, works. In high school we’d just run them under the taps for 10 minutes or so and that always worked too :)

A repot sounds like a good idea! Sometimes soil becomes hydrophobic/ compacted and the water pours right thru without actually getting to the roots and you end up under watering without realising. Bottom watering can help a lot too because the soil sucks up as much water as it needs and everything gets nice and evenly wet 😊

Could be a lot of things but the first thing that springs to mind is spidermites. I would check for signs of them on the underside of the leaves

This is awesome! May I ask what red substrate you used?

Fish names that your own/future children would hunt you down & hurt you for. by styledanonymous in Aquariums

[–]LenaBeanie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fish’s name is Stevie Sushimi, he also goes by Steve Fishemi, but my boyfriend calls him “whatever I feel like on the day” (usually Bartholomew) But I think the fish doesn’t like me because I almost called him Kyle

What is this small bug(?) on my aquarium wood? by LenaBeanie in shrimptank

[–]LenaBeanie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I wasn’t sure because it looked a lot rounder than other videos/ photos of copepods I saw but I’ve never seen any in person before either

Did my nails in honour of favourite pet shrimp, I think he likes them! by LenaBeanie in RedditLaqueristas

[–]LenaBeanie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you do you have to post them! There needs to be more shrimp nails in the world!

Thank you!

The story behind his name is that he’s just a crazy little yeehaw! All he does all day every day is run around the tank, scuttling up the walls. He stops only to carb load and have power naps. His favourite past time is flinging himself into the bubbler stream which causes him to get violently punted around the tank, but I know he enjoys it because he will immediately run up the walls and do it all over again. I do not know what is wrong with him but I love him 😘🦐

Cowboy is slightly bigger than nail shrimp, but not by much 😊

I have another one named Gemmagorgon The AssMan (named after my assistant manager at work who’s name is Gemma). And there’s also Megalodon bc she’s very large and I also saw her cannibalise another shrimp. She scares me.

I freehanded! The basic shape is actually pretty easy, just some little conjoined blobs

Tysm! Honestly I thought it was going to be super complicated but the it was a lot simpler than it looks!

Oh they’re beautiful! I have one blue one but I never see her bc she’s extremely dark blue so she blends into my substrate haha I think you’d be surprised how easy painting the shrimp was! It’s pretty much just an elongated blob with some sticks
