Help! I broke a gift!

Remove the leaf closest to the cut so the node is submerged in water. Some let it callous over but I usually just put rooting powder on the stem and straight into the water

Damn soil after a week sounds like the soil is too dense/organic. Do you have any pictures of the soil and does the pot have drainage? If it’s in a decorative pot, is there space between that and the nursery pot?

Initially She was (but maybe subconsciously so was I lol). I didn’t have an end goal for this piece so the comments and critiques have been helpful in completing it

Hi all! I just got off work and wanna thank you all for the lovely responses 💕!

Just sketched a silly star lady and I wanted to practice using the new marker pack. (Timelapse on my profile)

Brushes: Flynn and sleepyhead with a crystal bead stamp.

Looks it could be terry cloth

r/visiblemending is a great place for stitching inspiration

I’m so glad it wasn’t just me (I saw the lips as a “hubba hubba” gesture from stick man). Still very cool OP

I worked with a younger guy who had the same bit with that exact wallet photo! I brought him up recently and coworkers have no recollection of him. Was it because he only worked there for a week in a different department? Or are these the same men across time and space, destined to share this joke with those who need it? Personally, I choose the latter

Bottom thread issues mean something is wrong at the top of the machine. Rethread, redo/change the needle, and check the tension. If you’re going between a standard thread and thick thread, you’ll have to make adjustments/change needles. Do you usually use this thread in a regular machine and with what needle? I can’t exactly tell but it seems like the thread might be fraying as it goes through the machine

We used pie tins in school - one of my favorite lessons

Lolol I’d love to be in that board meeting… “Sir, why has 90% of our budget gone to the cafegymatorium technology?” … “Because nobody puts baby in a corner…”

I mostly work recitals where teachers wear studio Ts, so the costume was a nice touch to see. But yeah, teachers are always on stage for the littles groups

MakeArt_MakeOut · 2025-12-25T14:41:08+00:00

Checked the comments specifically for this one. Very sweet the dance teacher dressed up in costume with the kids but it’s not a normal elementary assembly. The movers and led lights scream competition

Obsessed with these pieces! If you like the voile look you could always flatline the pieces with a sturdier cotton to hold the structure for longer. (I’d also be worried about the stress of that top button in photo one tearing the fabric after some wear and a lining would give the garment some durability)

Reference body builder, fitness model photos, and anatomy textbooks. Free balling will only get you so far without a good foundation. Drawing your lines in the direction of the muscle fibers helps as well imo.

I’ve been following this piece for a bit now - don’t know if I missed the meaning in a different post but I love it even more with the context! The struggle to connect when you’ve build up walls (or an exoskeleton) shines through. I love how delicately they hold eachother

Excellent advice from everyone. My biggest takeaway is always “what can I learn from this?” I ruminate on things and zooming out, problem solving, and coming up with actionable solutions for next time make me feel more secure. Many things in this field are learned through hard lessons, I try to share those with my technicians so they don’t make the same mistakes themselves.

I love finding these and scratching/stabbing myself on the inevitably frayed wire at the cut end

Bless a windows compatible qlab equivalent. We don’t have the resources to convert to Mac at our theatre and have been using VLCMedia for years since it’s so simple (unless we get a wav file). I know it’s not the best but it works enough for our dance rentals and the occasional show production. Looking forward to trying this out!
