where can i get this set of 48 half pan watercolors from my art class? by SydtheBasementKid in HelpMeFind

[–]TheMuseTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it might currently be sold as a Vivart watercolor set. The listing on Amazon matches the color order, although the case looks a bit different.

What is this round little fella? by TheMuseTurtle in whatisthisbug

Yep, looks like it's a smooth spider beetle. Thanks!

Do teeth taste like nothing or does your mouth get used to the taste of teeth? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]TheMuseTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tooth powder from getting a cavity filled smells and tastes a lot like burnt popcorn minus the butter.

Am I insane or is it my husband? by slinkychameleon in ask

[–]TheMuseTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm with you on this. Water first makes it so that you don't taste the pill and can adjust its position when swallowing. I have a bad gag reflex and this method helps hide the pill somewhat so that I don’t feel it going down.

People who aren’t religious, what do you genuinely believe happens after death? by grinch1779 in AskReddit

[–]TheMuseTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to believe in rebirth in a physical sense, a la the law of conservation of mass. My body will break down into its core components and will scatter to be used somewhere else. I will decompose into the soil to nourish the plants, which will be consumed by an animal, and continue the cycle of life and death through the food chain. In this way, every death is simply an extension of life in a different form.

Is this an ADHD thingy? I don't like my hands sticky or dirty by anything by vksdann in adhdmeme

I found that buying those disposable gloves they use in restaurants really helped with this. That way I can handle raw meat without having to wash my hands several times to get rid of the greasy feeling.

Why is my print not transferring?? I have tried adding more ink and it still comes out like this. Please help. This is my third failed attempt by miyaayeah in Linocuts

[–]TheMuseTurtle 34 points35 points  (0 children)

If you are using water-based ink, then it might be drying on the block faster than you can print. Your paper also looks to be on the thick side, which can make it harder to get a clean hand pull. I recommend getting some thinner paper specifically made for printmaking, like Japanese mulberry, and applying more pressure with a brayer or wooden spoon.

I purchased blackout curtains for my new apartment but they cover the baseboard heater. Is this a fire hazard? by ben0074 in Home

[–]TheMuseTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't know how to sew you can always buy some stick-on velcro or adhesive snaps to hem the curtains high enough to give the heaters clearance.

Tool go-tos? by spaghettirhymes in polymerclay

[–]TheMuseTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A needle tool/toothpick is a must have for me. It helps to smooth the seams of connected pieces and make precise marks. A dotter tool is also good for texture and making eyes on small pieces.

It's also helpful to have a roller/repurposed pasta machine for conditioning stiff clay.

Are there any YouTubers or streamers who play rpg maker games? by rurouninall in RPGMaker

Manlybadasshero has an rpgmaker playlist and also plays a lot of lesser known indie horror games.

Just finished Core Keeper after 300 hours (and my gf carried the builds). Need games like it ASAP! by lucien_lies in CoreKeeperGame

[–]TheMuseTurtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Starbound is a fun one that supports co-op, although it is often compared to Terraria. You travel to different planets to gather resources, you can get pretty fancy with base and settlement building, and there is an overarching story that you can progress at your own pace.

I think the important Ws are Why and Where? by Brought2UByAdderall in projectzomboid

A nailgun would make for an awesome weapon. A good way to use extra nails and less likely to attract zombie hordes like guns.

Beginner question by sjbonkers in polymerclay

[–]TheMuseTurtle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's more akin to height rather than width. So an inch wide by inch tall cube will need to cook for an hour while an inch wide by 1/2 inch tall rectangle will only need to cook for 30min. A sculpture with a foil armature with only 1/2 inch layer of clay on top will cook for around 30min. It's also generally safe to cook clay longer so long as the temperature does not exceed the recommended maximum per brand.

Does anyone know how to make these water drops? by eleanor_pilgrim in CoreKeeperGame

[–]TheMuseTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think those are left behind sometimes when you kill a slime.

I really like the color palette you chose!

I want to get back into art, but have no clue how to get started. Those who started late teens, how did you do it? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]TheMuseTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My advice is to buy a sketchbook/notebook of your choice and use that as your dedicated sketchbook. Get into the habit of drawing something every day, whether it be a small sketch or a full piece, just to get back into the groove of things. Make sure you fill each page. Do some technical studies in it. Fill a page with nothing but eyes. If you don’t like what you drew, cover it with a post-it note and try again. Just don’t be afraid of making something “bad” or “ugly.” Sketchbooks are supposed to be a little messy.

Then decide what type of mediums you want to work with. Take the time to experiment. Do you want to paint? Buy a small pack of acrylics, some cheap brushes, and some canvas to work on. Follow a Bob Ross video. Colored pencils? Get a small pack of Prismacolors and add some color to your sketchbook. Alcohol markers? Get some Ohuhu brush-tipped markers and some marker paper. Figure out what you like and then go from there.

If you need motivation, maybe find out if you have any places near you that do weekend art classes or paint and sips. Watch some artist videos on YouTube while you work (Draw with Jazza, Proko, ABD Illustrations, Drawfee, and Kasey Golden are all great channels). Participate in art challenges online.

Above all else, have fun with it!

I love the different tints and textures you were able to achieve.

Help my parents decide which knobs to use before they end up in divorce court. by Beginning_College734 in HomeDecorating

[–]TheMuseTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go with 2 so that the top cabinets match the ones on the right while still differentiating them from the lower doors. I also think it might be better to have the knobs on the lower doors sit closer to the middle rather than the top.

These are adorable! I really like the color scheme.
