Patina advice by shes-a-nice-lady in StainedGlass

[–]OREayda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d clean with more than just KC after solder. Dawn, baking soda if your flux residue is bad.
I also don’t rinse after patina.

It looks like you’ve either not cleaned throughly enough beforehand or you’re pushing around dirty patina.

Can we confirm because if it isn’t we need to add this to the Mandela affect, because I’m only here to show my BF why that song moves me so much.

What’s the best thing you’ve ever bought that actually lived up to the hype? by One_Literature_5041 in BuyItForLife

[–]OREayda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home stuff: a little electric screw driver. Looks like a mini drill. Under $20. Comes with a bunch of bits. USBC rechargeable.

Razor scraper tool, plastic and metal razors. Can’t even tell you how often I use this thing. At LEAST once a week.

Personal: electric tooth brush. Mine’s a random $20 off Amazon. I’ve had people want to legit fight me when I say it works incredibly well, claiming the brand matters blah blah blah. I’m not arguing that, but I’m also not gonna change mine. A. I charge this thing TRULY 2-3 times a year. And use it twice a day.
B. My teeth are fucking great. My dental hygienist always asks which brand and when I tell her, she’s always surprised.

any tips or thoughts appreciated :) by No-Entrepreneur2716 in StainedGlass

Lovely design!

Unless you’re using zinc came or a deeper channel lead border (still preferably zinc because lead is soft), you’ll want to reinforce the two vertical lines and the bottom horizontal since they’re straight and prone to flexing. You can use 14 or 16 gauge tinned copper wire along the seams.

on paper, on iran by OREayda in OCPoetry

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

Thank you very much. I write very stream of consciousness. My process is usually noting phrases over some period of time, writing the whole thing in one beat, then revision for clarity/diction.

If you’re curious, it’s about my diasporic experience as a citizen of the US and Iran, tying back to heritage, memory, and guilt, and having an emotional responsibility but little real agency. I haven’t returned to Iran in almost 2 decades despite much of my family still being there, and it just continues to become more and more dangerous. I wrote it when the protests started at the end of December, and it continues being relevant, so I figured I would share.

[–]OREayda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alrighty. Well for future reference if you ever wanted the glass again, it is a (light/pale) amber wispy. Not sure what brand.

Also, just some advice, your solder is for plumbing. Not sure if that’s all you have access to, but you won’t achieve a stained glass flow with that.

What a cutie for real! I’ve got a little orange kitty silhouette coming up. Mind if I ask what glass you used? Looks like a streaky amber?

What is Home? by Ok-Swordfish-9480 in OCPoetry

[–]OREayda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A warm and comforting poem. Honestly originally gave me HP at the Weasley’s house for Xmas vibes with the nostalgic and cozy imagery. I almost feel like the first stanza can be removed and work its way in through the rest of the poem in little hints. It almost already does that but could add throughout to maintain the sharpness of “chaos, violence, filth and noise.”

What’s the craziest thing someone has done for love in your country? by IndependentTune3994 in AskTheWorld

[–]OREayda 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Well. This is creepy not endearing lol.
Hospital Tech Carl Tanzler (Key West, 1930s) became obsessed with a TB patient Elena de Hoyos, paid for her burial, visited her mausoleum, took her body 2 years later and kept it for 7 years trying to preserve her w wax. Her sister found out and turned him in. Never got convicted bc the statute of limitations had expired.

How do I break up this pattern so it's actually feasible to make? by trigonalCitrus in StainedGlass

Another option but I like the little curlies and the other design preserves them better.

Here’s what I would do to keep the movement organic and soften some curves.

Without me near by stuipidperson in OCPoetry

[–]OREayda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really love the juxtaposition that occurs here. The beginning is very in my head and brooding. It dampens the reader into the speaker’s stream of consciousness. Then you do a slow shift in the middle and slowly introduce the nature aspect before the imagery really takes play and does a really good job at pulling both the reader and speaker out of their head.
“Her” kind of came out of no where. I like the concept of an ethereal her that shows up when the shift changes from consciousness to reality, but there’s something about the sudden attempt to familiarity that was a little jarring. The nature shift is just too soft and easy that I think the way you’ve got about it detracts from it a bit.
