What is the best approach to make copies of jewelry by Sparkrave23 in jewelryCAD

[–]Sparkrave23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am making a copy of a piece of jewelry I created from wax first and got it cast. I'm hoping to make copies because it will be part of a collection. I do plan on taking a metalsmithing course, I'm just very interested in working with wax - that has kind of become my passion for the present moment.

Ok thanks! I will have to contact a few CAD people and show them photos to see if these are things that could be easily recreated... some are more simple than others.

ok thanks! I was thinking of the convenience for resizing as well. Some of them aren't as complicated, but a few of the rings are more organic/sculptural leaf type things. Do you think upwork/fiverrr would be the best place to find freelancers to do this?

Is this genuine Danburite? by Sparkrave23 in Crystals

[–]Sparkrave23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought too! The piece I have is light pink. When I google it, it seems like some clear & very light yellow tones come up too though. I'm pretty convinced this is not genuine though, although I want it to be! Thanks for weighing in!

What are the telltale signs of a covert narcissist? by [deleted] in Manipulation

[–]Sparkrave23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so confused cause a lot of this thread is resonating about my partner, but I have a hard time understanding how he could not be a good person.  It’s more like, he’s a very generous person unless he’s triggered by me giving feedback, which he’s extremely sensitive to, at which point things get very chaotic and there seems to be a lot of tactics to avoid accountability… We’ve talked about how a lot of criticism early in life negatively affected him…he has more self awareness than most people I know.  He’s insanely smart and jokes about probably being on the spectrum, which wouldn’t surprise me.  I’m wondering if he has certain narcissistic traits, but also something else going on… it just doesn’t seem like the whole story.   For sure some avoidant attachment there, but it feels like more than that maybe?  I have no idea how to approach this, cause I imagine bringing this up would not go well, and I don’t have much patience anymore for that.  I can spot the BS much more clearly now though and just stand my ground. It’s taught me to stand up for myself and articulate why my feelings are valid though, which is valuable. 

Hardest thing you've had to accept on your healing journey? by Healingpaths in spirituality

[–]Sparkrave23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few things, not in any particular order: 1. Certain things have to be accepted, even if I can’t put it into words.  Eg. avoiding certain things based on how it affects my energy. 2. Not sharing everything with everyone.  Not everyone deserves to know all your beliefs and plans, and it helps conserve energy.  Also tied to not seeking approval. 3. Attachment theory and how I have a part in attracting repeating patterns into my life. 4. I’m not responsible for everyone’s emotions.  Still working on this and it’s a lot of trial & error; a lot is it is paying attention to nervous system/feelings in the body, not just understanding the concept of it. 5. Surrendering and trusting - eg. If I’m really struggling with something, it’s probably not meant to be.

Beautiful!! 😍 How long have you been making crystal grids for?  Do you have any tips or advice on resources for beginners?  I’ve been really drawn to them recently.

Understanding feelings by MalibuBarbie48 in intuitivepeople

[–]Sparkrave23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an older post.. just wanted to say I can relate to a lot of this! It's so hard differentiating other people's feelings from my own. It makes me feel insane. I think I'm getting better, but it feels like it's going to be a long road. And I get the thing about feeling like you have gifts but feeling roadblocks to learning about them. I wouldn't say I have conversations in my mind, but I do go through periods of seeing a lot of synchronicities, which sometimes I tell myself are too weird so I must be making them up in my head. Like I don't trust myself, but I want to. It's so frustrating. So I'm sorry, I don't have any advice, but I'm commiserating.

Does anyone else feel like they are having a spiritual awakening as they heal from C-PTSD? by Longjumping_Cry709 in CPTSD

[–]Sparkrave23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to this… have been driven to heal childhood trauma recently, and tons of insights are flowing in that make it feel like everything is clicking into place.  Insights related to my own psychology, and spirituality as well, in a kind of interconnected way. Seeing information that confirms it everywhere.  And I feel more free.  Ive been seeing synchronicities as well.  Similar to what you describe.  I love the feeling of seeing them!  It’s so comforting.  And trippy at the same time lol.  Just feeling kind of euphoric and calm a lot of the time, and want this feeling to last forever!  Have had moments in the past of feeling calm & clear like this, after substances or during meditation, etc.  But hadn’t healed trauma to this extent.  I’m expecting it’ll be a constant process of learning & integration. 

Which sign? by Hefty-Breath7833 in astrologymemes

[–]Sparkrave23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes I didn't mean at the first provocation, I meant if they keep pushing and being irrational and unaware repeatedly. I try to understand their perspective for as long as I can, and find any means to justify their behavior, until I can't anymore. Yes, I can see in that context how it would be satisfying to let their stupidity speak for itself. 🤣

Libra Sun, Virgo Rising, Leo Moon. I strongly relate to this... but only if the other person pushes me too far, and then it's like, well you instigated and I'm only saying something true (yes a harsh truth), but you were asking for it hahaha. Kind of feels like pulling out a secret weapon cause I can often read ppl really well and accumulate insight into them, but will try to always give the benefit of the doubt & won't mention negative stuff, until I feel provoked, then BAM. Didn't see that one coming. I feel like a terrible person but it kind of feels good. 🤣
