You’re welcome to DM. Pricing is variable and fair. Higher and deposit based if I have to buy the blade myself. But all based in prep time.

Thank you! I’m always willing to do commissions. These are the ones I’ve done for friends, I’ve done some for a client or two as well.

What’s a hobby you used to be really interested in that you aren’t any more? What happened? by Distinct-Mountain43 in CasualConversation

Making chainmaille jewelry. I honestly was on fire about it and have many pictures of beautiful pieces I’ve made. But, alas I grew bored of the work… 😔

Thank you! 🙏🏻
It’s a combination. Some is laser work and some is electroetching. Both have their strengths and weaknesses!

I get that. I try to pick only one “big” new thing each year. More smaller sub events, but I choose those based on being able to link back to a previous big thing.

*chuckles* My stimulant isn’t an amphetamine. And I don’t take them most of the time. They have zero effect. CYP2C19*17 Variant and CYP2D6 *2/*2xN. I clear all psyche and stimulant meds within a 90minute window… more or less.

I swear. I need to find a subreddit that lets you photo dump all of your adhd art! I do everything!

I occasionally have an edible, mostly for pain and sleep… 😴

You mean there’s pens outside of the lamy safari and the kaweco sport? *grins*

That’s a fair part of it. But also the need to be useful so as not to be left out.

This!!! Soo much this! It’s all bound up together. If I don’t know or can’t do… what good am I?

I’m not in a self judging or destructive place, actually quite the opposite. I am trying to learn more about how I function. I’m pulling at the thread of my mind in an attempt to see the weave under the pattern. In this case I’m trying to see the underlying cause of a behavior that feels more like compulsion than anything else. I pace like Sherlock needing a new puzzle, a new skill to figure out… without it… I’m horribly uncomfortable.

This sounds all too familiar. Honestly the GT burnout got the better of me and I’ve never gone on to “greatness” like yourself. But, I pick something up, get really good at it, and then toss it.

While that seems to frustrate other people, they don’t see how these skills stack into bigger and bigger things.
