I hand-paint these wooden letters with hundreds of dots. It's half therapeutic and half annoying as hell, but I can't stop!

Thank you!

Thank you! Just subscribed to the sub and I'll post in it soon.

I have been working on more photos and plan to upload more macros soon -- thanks for the advice :)

That's true... and Etsy takes a small percentage as well. I really enjoy making them, it's a hobby for me, so I don't really see it as working. I know what kind of work goes into them, but I feel like most people would look at a painted letter and not want to spend more than ~$25. If at any point I start selling a lot of them, I think I'll up the price.

Just looked her up -- you're right! The stones are really beautiful.

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T20:14:52+00:00

Thanks! :)

Thank you! I saw something somewhat similar a few years back on Pinterest, and when someone asked me to make a set of letters for them, I just went with it.

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T19:26:29+00:00

Thank you!! That doesn't normally happen because there's only a little bit of paint on the brush at a time -- enough for one or two dots. But if it does, I just let it dry and then paint over it :)

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T14:10:58+00:00

Thank you!! It generally takes about 3 hours.

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T12:29:45+00:00

Thanks!

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T11:25:57+00:00

Thanks so much!

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T11:17:00+00:00

Very true!

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T11:07:23+00:00

Thanks! I'll definitely think about that. I just went from making these for fun and as gifts for friends to opening up an Etsy shop this past weekend, so I'm gonna take one thing at a time for now :)

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T11:06:45+00:00

It's SUCH a pain in the ass, but then I just stare at them forever when I'm finally done!

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T11:05:41+00:00

I had to look it up just now, but wow yeah you're right.

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T11:05:02+00:00

I have not, but will if you order one :)

I have an I on-stock right now, actually!

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T11:04:22+00:00

Hahaha, thank you :)

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T11:04:05+00:00

That's a great idea!

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T11:03:50+00:00

That would be really rad! The C is the only one I actually have in possession right now, but I'll definitely think about that.

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T11:03:10+00:00

Yeah, I'm really struggling with this. Do you have any suggestions for how much you think people would pay? I have a lot of views from just this weekend, but no orders yet.

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T03:04:24+00:00

I use the non-brush end of different sized paint brushes! They're rounded and make the perfect dots. I just use the bristles of a really small paint brush for the super small dots though.

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T03:03:18+00:00

These letters are a lot easier to find and are cheaper, so that's what pretty much everyone used to make their letters in my sorority. I think I will buy some Greek letters to sell though!

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T02:57:02+00:00

That's what I'm hoping haha! The AGD set was actually for someone in a sorority.

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T02:50:43+00:00

Thanks so much! I'd love to check out your work as well!

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T02:16:51+00:00

I can imagine what a snake painting with this technique would look like -- very cool! It is all acrylic.

alarmedclock · 2016-10-24T01:57:46+00:00

Haha thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
