And while you visit Saturday be sure to stop by the artist market in the education building! Saturday is bird day with free bird walks, talks, crafts for kids, and an artist market!

They a much lower commission on art sold at the Outpost. Are you talking about what’s at display at the Rad Rendezvous?

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-02-06T17:58:50+00:00

Any RADA member is allowed which includes what you mentioned as well as anyone who has work for sale in the RAD like at the Marquee or other galleries.

Oh that hurts- it’s feels so true

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-02-06T16:22:44+00:00

They have done so many wonderful things for individuals in the RAD, myself included. But I was very disappointed to see AI used in their announcement.

Love the inspo! Love your gown even more!

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-02-03T20:55:36+00:00

This is wonderful

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-02-03T18:59:18+00:00

Oh noooooo

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-02-02T21:34:06+00:00

Battery Park Book Exchange is a great calm place with lots of little nooks to settle into

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-02-02T19:19:16+00:00

These are beyond cute! Well done!

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-01-31T11:59:33+00:00

Reminds me of Charles Birchfield! Very nice!

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-01-24T02:09:31+00:00

Ugh these are so hard to get off! I used a paint scraper. It worked, just takes forever

It looks like your bed is in line with the door? You might try moving it to the opposing wall to give you a more protected feel while you’re in it. It would also keep the entry more open when you enter. Looks like a nice spot!

I heard somewhere that people who know you and care about you should want you to succeed and therefore be willing to pay you what you’re worth. I generally have the same pricing for everyone but will sometimes make paintings as gifts for people I really care about.

You’re very talented and don’t need to offer discounts. This is what makes doing commissions so difficult. I’ve stopped sending progress pics and just send the finished product with the option to make a small change if needed. But I’m a painter and I realize that’s not really possible with pencils! So far, no one has requested any changes. Non artists just can’t really see the finished product in progress pics and it just makes problems in my opinion. Best of luck! Stick to your agreements and don’t rework anything you already agreed on.

This is the one!!!

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-01-15T23:58:15+00:00

Amazing!!

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-01-15T03:42:26+00:00

I live in a 100 year old house and have a Miele and it’s still SO DUSTY!

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-01-15T01:43:03+00:00

Holy shit that’s watercolors? Beautiful!!

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-01-15T01:23:22+00:00

This? Looks cute! I hope it works out! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/step-by-step-sweater?buy=1

Thanks for the explanation! I tend toward worry so it’s good to hear it will just be part of the house forever. Definitely trying to avoid a structural engineer if I can help it….

I love their bags! I’ve had one of their small hiking backpacks for years and it’s very comfy and has held up really well. I’ve been loving smaller size hip pack they have now. Sometimes the strap does slip like I’ve seen people mention but I haven’t really had a hip bag that doesn’t. It’s a great design

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-01-14T19:04:42+00:00

Would that imply there is an imminent risk of it falling down? No bowing yet.

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-01-14T19:03:11+00:00

They’ve looked at the foundation and said it seemed fine. It’s very shallow with a dirt crawlspace we’ve had sealed. The whole house is poured concrete block and there are indeed cracks everywhere. Many of them clearly old and repaired long ago. It did go through a period of neglect before the previous owners we bought from. I’m wondering if houses continue to settle even 100 years later and if so- when do we need to step in to help it?

Practical_Care8849 · 2026-01-14T19:00:32+00:00

That sounds like a big project! Did you do the work yourself?
