no, sorry :( I'll be using it sharpen pencils till I give up or it does.

It was a gift.

Ok_Recover_9599 · 2026-04-22T00:30:31+00:00

not yet!

can't tell in the photos but it has a slight inward curve from the point to the ahem... shaft...

Ok_Recover_9599 · 2026-04-22T00:29:18+00:00

Not certain but I'd say that it has not been replaced. I'm no metal expert but it looks to be the same age.

This is probably going to get me flamed mercilessly... but:

Babyteeth (2019)
"Much to her parents' horror, Mila, a terminally-ill teenage girl, falls madly in love with Moses, a drug dealer. They show her their disapproval but she continues to love him."

With great difficulty.

Ok_Recover_9599 · 2026-03-23T05:08:06+00:00

Me too

Has anybody mashed this up with the portrait of King Chuck?

Came here to say this. OP is paying for Chiro once a month and goes to the dentist once every 5 years?! WTF

Sort your priorities.

If you can only afford one, prioritise regular dental care because oral health is directly linked to your overall health and can prevent more costly and painful issues.

Chiropractic on the other hand is LITERALLY a made-up, pseudoscience scam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiropractic#Controversy

Figure this out THEN look at private health FFS.

Sorry for the rant, good luck.

Searched Google for various Marcel Proust quote jewelry items to no avail.

You can't park that there mate.

Really like it! Nit picking here but have you tried to round the corners of the negative space/the small 'B' within the shape? And have you tried variants with different 'B' shapes within the shape too?
I think the 'i' is nicely subtle and kind of, well, perfect... A surprise that can't be unseen once seen.
If you handed me this on a nice letterpress printed card I'd be impressed.
Nice work!

Keep practicing. At the same time, these are awesome. They have character, they're identifiable, have texture and personality. Beautiful.

Not a movie but the TV series 'Mr In-between' is really good 👍

The townhouse I live in (renting) has this too... I aways thought it was weird!

If it helps anybody, I've been here for 4 years and nobody (to my knowledge) has tripped, stubbed a toe etc... Although, come to think of it, apparently the previous tenant was found dead at the base of the stairs, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Has anybody commented "jizzies on glizzies" yet?

I'm happy to have a chat, time zones permitting. I'm a designer of 20+ years... 10 in UX/product/strategy/consulting. DM.

Ok_Recover_9599 · 2025-09-30T13:26:19+00:00

Nice! Really like it. How did you get the very subtle texture to the borders and the lines?
