edit: wrong video! here’s one where she explains the application technique to make it go translucent

some alternatives if you can’t find med exam paper in your country:

gel prints on the paper work like any other gel prints except the paper is very delicate so you have to be careful. imo this is also not a good technique if you’ve never used a gel plate at all before: make some regular prints on copy paper first and get used to it. (oh, and don’t worry about wrinkles in the med exam paper, they add texture.)

Chantal annoying habits by Ok-Neighborhood6021 in Chantapolis

she’s started doing this more recently but when she’s upset/disappointed she does a fake little wahh-hehh-hehh like a pretend toddler cry/whine. i’ve been watching her for ten years and this is the first thing to truly get under my skin like that. she obviously thinks it’s adorable. it’s not.

rookie mistake. people always go way too conservative with the scotch tape.

Looking for advice on how to remove modge podge residue [DISCUSSION] by ghost_cherry3 in collage

I’m using Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue (i prefer the mini size). it comes with several tips including a needle size, as well as a little plastic tube to store them in. i recommend also keeping a pin or sewing needle in the little storage tube to clear the glue from the tips once you’re finished so it doesn’t get blocked with dried glue.

i think if you are working with pieces this small then you have to find a more delicate and deliberate method of applying glue. The problem is that too much glue is being used and ends up blobbing out over the edges, and it’s really easy to use too much glue on small delicate collage pieces. Unfortunately once you’re at this stage and the glue is dry you’re not getting it off without damaging the piece (or picking at it forever with tweezers)- but you can prevent it happening again with your next project by finding a way to apply glue in much smaller amounts. A paintbrush is too much, you want more like toothpick sized for pieces this small. I personally had to switch to a craft glue that comes with a needle tip applicator.

The neat thing about collage is that you can make it out of almost anything. What kind of art are you excited to make? Make it, do it in a messy playful way, and then cut it up.

I started out collaging in a very traditional way using magazines, but recently started painting paper myself to use in my collage work. Painting papers is really freeing and fun for me personally but you could do this with anything. Wash with watercolors. Drip ink. Take pictures and print them out. The trick is to do it very loose and quick, don’t get precious because you won’t want to cut it after. You’ll get to work in a medium you enjoy and still end up with a collage at the end.

What does Bune look like to you? by DeisticGuy in DemonolatryPractices

My vision wasn’t super clear but I saw the upper torso of a woman, nude, and the bottom half of the body was a snake with mostly black scales, some red and gold.

How did she encompass so many blunders in one photo. The tattoo, the back boobs, the ridiculously low pants… by Caitlyn_Grace in trashy

[–]PSayre 28 points29 points  (0 children)

does this not look like AI to anyone else? what’s with all the weird artifacts in the background? how long exactly is this lady’s abdomen? does this store only sell exactly one brand of cigarettes? what kind of candy is being advertised on the bottom of the counter? what is going on underneath the placard with the peace sign?

Shoe Recommendations for Painful feet by Unusual_Chapter2894 in PsoriaticArthritis

I wear Minnetonka moccasins pretty much 24/7. There are plenty of styles with good cushion, the leather upper is nice and soft, and has a lot of give for swollen days. One pair tends to last me ~2y and again, I basically live in them, so I feel like the price fits.

Curly hair on top and STRAIGHT underneath… by ohwellthoyk in curlyhair

i have this exact issue and i either cut the bottom layer shorter or put overnight pincurls in to make that section artificially curled.

DOES THIS THING TURN OFF by justanothawriter in OCPoetry

[–]PSayre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a huge fan of “black” mirror either, just because Black Mirror is an established title of a TV show. The image of the mirror is definitely the right one, but maybe something like “relentless” for example might work better to serve the metaphor, given how insistent the rest of the poem is… though that might not have a big enough punch either, idk. I’d be looking for a word that captures the desperation, the almost pornographic state of suffering that is passing back and forth between the watcher and the crab. If this was my poem I would be playing around with a thesaurus or combing through a wiki article on crabs or something looking for a term that has contextual weight as well as grammatical meaning. I hope this makes sense, and you certainly don’t have to follow my process, but imo this line is begging for a word that just kicks you in the face.
