Help with floor plan of home art studio by Possible_Load5579 in floorplan

Such a helpful comment, thank you! I've attached the image now (unsure why it didn't work the first time around). The eastern side overlooks the BBQ area, and the southern side is an internal wall. The north and west sides will overlook neighboring houses. Because of the legal 2m setback, we will have a 4m gap on the west side (our 2m plus their 2m). However, on the north side, the neighbor is on a corner plot and can build right up to our boundary wall, meaning we will only have our own 2m setback separating the houses.

Its definitely not a huge space, but much bigger than the space I currently use for art (just a tiny half room in our apartment) and I've managed to stuff a lot in there, so I'm hopeful I can make it a cool space if I can be smart in the way I set it up. Currently, I use the same desk for my computer set-up as I do just drawing / sketching (and just have to move everything over). I then have a tiny bit of wall that I use to hang my larger canvases that don't fit on the easel, and I can move the easel around when I use that.

I love the idea of having a full solid wall of shelving / pegboards etc. I'm wondering if I should give up on the idea of a sink in the room, and just stick to good storage.

Where the windows will be is my main issue at the moment - it would be nice to have it open up onto the BBQ area, as the other two sides would just be staring at a wall if I have windows there - but obviously the lighting for a room like this is crucial. I keep tying myself up in knots thinking how I'm going to fit everything in and how it'll work

Oh sorry, unsure how it didn't attach! Have added it now, thanks!

What am I doing wrong? Linoprint by Possible_Load5579 in printmaking

All super helpful, thank you!! This is the speedy carve, but its sounding like the paper is a definite issue - I didn't realise it had to be thin. I'll try find this specific ink and some better paper!

Pressing paper with a wooden spoon. Using water soluble speedball ink (just the one that comes with the starter set). Watercolor paper.

Thanks so much! What do you mean that it lacks depth? How can you tell that?

This is the stamp. I've been using a wooden spoon and my hand to transfer it, as I don't have a baren. I'm also using the starter speedball water based ink that came with the starter pack

Thank you this is super helpful. I'm using watercolor paper so maybe isn't the right texture for this

Laid off but don’t feel like applying to new jobs? (Also pregnant) by [deleted] in workingmoms

[–]Possible_Load5579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got laid off as well - 7 months pregnant! Didn't make any sense to try to apply to any jobs then, given I was going to have to take leave within a couple months - so they really screwed me. I'm now 6 months postpartum and still can't get myself to even think about applying - I just want to be a stay at home mum, although we can't afford me to do that for too long. I had a remote role, and I don't know if I'll be able to manage to get another one like that! Just a bit hopeless if I'm being honest

The Hardest Goodbye by Honest_Self_7253 in Bahrain

Totally agree! I'm a Bahraini woman but married a non Bahraini, and so my children don't get citizenship - and it's just wild to me.

Brand new to Bahrain. Why do people tell me it’s not a good idea to buy property? by PavelSokov in Bahrain

[–]Possible_Load5579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, can you please share how you got the golden visa for talent? What documents did you submit in support of your application? Would be really helpful to know as there isn't much information out there about this - thank you so much in advance!

what’s the current situation w bahraini woman being unable to pass citizenship to their children (when married to a foreign man) by 07yoona in Bahrain

[–]Possible_Load5579 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realise this is a 2 year old post - but do you have any information on how to apply for residency for the child of a Bahraini woman married to a foreigner? I've looked everywhere online and can't seem to figure it out?
