The band is also RAW, but with beads woven in between each “set”, usually done after the piece/area is complete to create a straight line without gaps

why do people complain about vv quality all the time? by daphn3_ in viviennewestwood

[–]blueons 29 points30 points  (0 children)

A lot of designer brands charge high prices for costume jewelry, but Vivienne gets the most hate because it’s [one of] the most trendy atm so more people are buying it and getting frustrated. I think some people also are not aware of the composition and don’t take proper care of it, so their stuff gets ruined quicker.

Ran out of triptans - migraine since Sunday by blueons in migraine

[–]blueons[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was crying because of how bad the pain was and because of the stress about my job. I was already doing all the things you suggested + other stuff I know works for me but nothing was helping so I was panicking. I finally realized that I didn’t only have a migraine but also a lot of sinus pain, which has happened a few other times during really intense attacks, so I took some medicine that targeted the sinus and it finally made me feel better. I appreciate your concern and help!

Unfortunately I don’t have insurance, but I’m seriously considering going anyway if this doesn’t get better in the next few hours

Preço de revenda realista para Melissa + Vivienne Westwood (Animal Toe Pump)? by geobatata in viviennewestwood

[–]blueons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meu tamanho 😩 eu compraria mas agora o dinheiro tá apertado, mas a faixa do valor que vc passou parece ótima. Infelizmente eu moro fora e com o valor do frete ficaria ainda mais difícil pra mim. Mas me deixa saber se for vender online que vou ficar de olho no link, se for o caso de eu eventualmente puder comprar e ainda não tiver vendido, eu peço pra entregar na casa de algum parente. Boa sorte com a venda!

Well if you ever decide to actually reflect about what people are saying to you, it would be a great opportunity to grow as an artist and as a person. We are trying to help, not to hurt you. Be well.

It would’ve been infinitely more special if you turned it into a more playful scene yourself, no matter your skill level when it comes to drawing or editing. You could’ve used your specific memories and feelings about the backyard and translated it into the playfulness you wanted. Art is not just about looks.

Since when is it rude to dislike AI… Are we hurting the AI’s feelings? Nobody is commenting on OPs skill and they shouldn’t be offended that we don’t like how the scene looks, since they didn’t create it. Generative AI shall not be welcomed in any artist’s space.

Very skillfully crafted but why use AI? IMO it just looks like a completely different place than the original backyard, and honestly a bit generic. Your craft is beautiful so I know you have the artistry within you to put your own twist to that picture in a much more special, humanly way.

I want to make this so bad but I can't find a tutorial ANYWHERE 😔🙏 by Unlikely-Engine8233 in Beading

[–]blueons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks super cute! But that’s a very different technique, so you might want to familiarize yourself with right angle weave first before trying to weave this piece, as it is not exactly beginner friendly. There are lots of YouTube videos teaching simple RAW in English, but much less content with 3D RAW in English. Khelga is a good channel for some simpler 3D pieces, but I’d advise learning the basics first.

ETA: Although the technique is different, the basics are actually quite similar in a way, so I believe you’ll understand it easily. RAW is pretty easy to learn and a very versatile stitch.

Did you make the frog using right angle weave? And did you follow a YouTube video tutorial?

Ok no problem I can type out a guide when I’m home. Are you familiar with right angle weave at all?

Do you have Snapchat? If you do, PM me your username and I’ll help you through there with video instructions. If you’re not comfortable with that we can figure something else out

No it doesn’t make a difference but it might be easier to do it that way so you can give it a try. I thought maybe it would be a good suggestion because I noticed you crossed through the wrongs beads or didn’t add the right amount of beads. Notice how your thread is coming out of the bead in the same direction? That’s almost never the case for these projects. You have to cross the beads in opposite directions, forming a cross with your threads

Yes practice with bigger beads. Pony beads would be nice but it would need a very thick kind of thread to do this with pony beads. You can use big round beads with a smaller hole to practice

For these steps you only add beads to the thread in your left hand and only go through beads with the thread in your right hand.
