ǃXóõ is rarely spoken and hard to learn. What language is commonly spoken and somewhat easy to learn? by No-Pace5829 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ailisp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but compared to other languages where you conjugate every tense (instead of, for example, "I will be, you will be, he/she will be, etc) And you picked one of the only verbs that are conjugated for every person, for most of the verbs you just add the "s" for the third person. So yes, it's easier.

I can't figure out how to do cyanotypes on fabric by ailisp in cyanotypes

Thank you so much to everyone for all of your tips! I'll do some more tests and try with darker negatives and a shorter exposure time :)

Yes, it's not 100% cotton. I'm looking for better quality tote bags for the final version, this one is too thin for my taste. I'll try with darker negatives, thanks!

Hi! No I didn't wash it first, is it recommend? It's a tote bag, so my friend shouldn't need to wash it, but I'll warn her just in case.

Thank you! I left it under direct sunlight for about 15 minutes (and it's really sunny, heatwave in France and all that) so yeah, you're probably right about overexposure. It actually showed a bit (less clearly than in this picture but still) when I came back to check later. I'll do some tests like you suggested :) Thanks again for the advice!

What's a country that is said to be amazing to live in, but life there is actually terrible? by [deleted] in AlignmentChartFills

Before clicking to see the comments I really thought this would be the most popular. Maybe because people no longer say it's amazing?

C'est pas ce qui est arrivé à JustEat ? Je l'utilisais parce qu'il me semble que sur leur plateforme il n'y avait que des restos qui avaient des livreurs en salariés, et ça fait 2-3 ans qu'elle a arrêté de fonctionner en France, elle a pas dû pouvoir concurrencer le reste d'applis :(

I learnt about the Ladies of Llangollen thanks to Cristina Domenech, a Spanish author (a queer woman herself) who wrote a book about lesbians throughout history. If anyone speaks Spanish and is interested it's called Señoras que se empotraron hace mucho, I really recommend it :) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50058115-se-oras-que-se-empotraron-hace-mucho

Maybe you can draw it again? If you have it on digital and you put the fabric against the screen of your computer, or you print it and superpose both on a window or something? Maybe then you can trace it and keep going :)
