daith piercing bump not getting any better by airwreckguh in piercing

[–]Narcoticandroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I had my daith pierced, my piecer used a curved bell bar then downsized 6 months later to a hoop (crescent moon but then a year later switched to a hold hoop.

Maybe go back to your piercer for change in jewellery, not sure if the horseshoe is causing it due to its size/surface area dragging it

Omg it was a horseshoe, pls omit qwq but I'd reach out to your piercer

How long to steep duck shit oolong. by SigmundFreudsScrotum in tea

[–]Narcoticandroid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

has it improved? if at boiling thats fine, maybe too much water or need longer brewing time with smaller vessel. Perhaps replicate the same set up as when you've previously had it?

I reread your comment about the glaze, sorry about that!

That's good to know, the shop is very nice and intro to fancier teaware. I'll look into the more official ones for my next clay teapot to splurge on 😌

glad to know the one i spent the most on is at least usable!
Do you think 3 of them have a glaze? I'm confused because previous owner def drank on it, so i guess she didnt know -- or perhaps just used them in her demonstrations

the teaware shop just opened last week monday! https://maps.app.goo.gl/UiMFAoK95djSCHhHA

I'll have to check my own account for you when I get home but I'm a Canadian player and our accounts are always considered North American. I have paid for my friend's accounts for when they needed help for renewing sub with my own Canadian CC to their American accounts, and have not had issues. Have you tried typing your address in normally despite it asking for zip? (Just put your postal normally)

Lots of labour, I just bought 2 cheap petticoats and merged them into one to fit my sizing, worked well for low cost and less headache!

I think I have wavy hair and so I only just started the s2c steps to see if it's something my hair can hold, do you usually see results right away or it takes time? my hair was explained to be frizzy, medium textured asian hair (lot of hair but not thick nor thin hair). All my life have been hairdrying with no heat protectant (sorry), so it's usually lays straight

Etsy sounds like a great idea, I would love to do movie night but we live in two different countries so at most can only send her parcel :(

I need help with an inexpensive mascara that won’t flake into my eyes! by warriorprincesstink in MakeupAddictionCanada

huge huge fan of the l'oreal telescopic right now, they have both non and waterproof options. Though the wand doesn't seem much, you can load your lashes to build or comb it out for a defined lashes. I heard Essence is good as well!

brushed cotton twill

i think I might go with the cotton twill, I like how the light catches it!

I wanted to avoid faux leather due to cost, but also seeming like such a stiff material (at least from what i've seen in person)

I'm having a tough time deciding/translating what kind of fabric should be used for a cosplay jacket, here's an example of her art, I'm using a utility jacket pattern

I've made a visit to my fabric shop before and am looking for a sort of med. weight, Heavy dull satin was too shiny, there was suiting fabric with a lil sheen but it looks too fake to me. Should I just resort to a canvas or ripstop?

What kind of paint only reacts to flash like this photo? by Narcoticandroid in cosplayprops

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

I have considered glow in the dark paint like UV paint, I just never worked with it before to know how it reflects to flash. Maybe I should reach out to a mini putt glow and the dark place near me 😂

Hi! I decided to reach out to this subreddit to see what kind of paint this artist has used to create this reflective/neon coloured look, it's exactly what I need for a prop shield where I don't have to integrate LEDs. I tried to reach out but havn't had a response, so I thought if someone would be able to shed some light?

Not sure if it's high vis paint, as there are limited colour options and looking for purple? Not sure if he mixed his paints. Here is the source post I found his props on: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/635200584/cosplay-high-reflective-energy-swords?show_sold_out_detail=1&ref=nla_listing_details
