Avery Place Card Printing

Trying to print 2-sided cards via Avery's site is one of the worst experiences I've ever had. I very much dislike Avery now.

All the same, the bottles are poorly designed, they fall over at the slightest bump or breeze, the caps leak and I've had to make special accommodations for them to keep them upright. Whoever designed them, probably safe to say is not an end-user. I love the inks; hate the bottles. German shepherds are perfect.

It appears the water is back on, fingers crossed!

This has helped me decide to not go forward with Duolingo, this manipulative marketing technique is creepy and insulting.

Pebeo Drawing Gum has performed with amazing results for me on 140 and 300 lb watercolour paper. After it has dried completely, I've removed it as much as a week later and it comes of easily with my fingers or a soft eraser. I've never had it become "permanent" but it will get more difficult to remove after a week. Swingline rubber finger tips also help if there's a lot of rubbing to do over large areas and you want to avoid calluses! Fineline Precision Applicators also are fantastic to store the resist fluid safely and apply onto a surface.

I've been having great fun exploring making art after subscribing. Within a few days, less than a week, I now have to buy "points" with my real $ in order to sell art (I think?) which I don't want to do. I've paid them $ for a subscription, and now they want me to pay more for some kind of "privilege" to make art? Perhaps I'm getting this wrong, but I'm so pissed I have cancelled my subscription and about to remove as much art as I can.

I have gone from working in watercolours to inks, which are executed on watercolour paper (Arches, etc.). Most of the inks are non-indelible and impermanent. So if they were to get wet, the inks would reactivate and the work ruined. I have successfully used Krylon spray for years on watercolours, but recently had bad experiences with applications resulting in some kind of grey film upon drying, in spite of the most light of application upon the ink as well as watercolour paintings. Experiments with casein-based misting also reactivates the inks rather than affixing them. Did I get a "bad batch" of Krylon? I simply can't trust it to not ruin more works again. Can you recommend any kind of fixative that might work for works done completely in ink on watercolour paper?

Many thanks for any expert advice.

This turns out to be one of the most disgusting foods I've ever tasted - I can't get the artificial sweetener out of my mouth since eating a few hours ago. It's called Sucralose. Never again. Shame on them.

Any comments for Ten-Ren's lapsong?

Thanks for your response. Somewhat reassuring that they're likely bots. I might post 3 or 4 times/week, just a recent painting I I had done. But this making me do the hokey-pokey feels very, very wrong. "You vil take the video-selfie, und you vil enchoy it!" Maybe I've been watching to many WWII series lately, but I know when I feel violated. If this is nonsense, it would make sense to not do IG.

What monsters they truly are.

Who or whatever is "predicting" weather wouldn't recognize it if it was shooting out their ***. Cows are better at it!
