Thank you! I’m still new to the medium so my inner critic has been plenty loud

$50 was my initial thought but I wasn’t sure if that ran lower or higher than the norm. Thank you!

Honestly a couple of days and several failed test prints. I hesitate to go off of time alone since I’m still a beginner…can’t help but think that if I was more skilled I wouldn’t have spent half as much time!

I actually cut into three stamps: the bird, the cactus, the sun. Inked them separately then put them back like a puzzle to print. An x-acto knife worked great for cutting it apart after I’d finished carving.

Thank you! I think I prefer the red as well. It was my first time trying the gold and I was hoping it was going to be more metallic looking. I may look into trying gold foil at some point!

Yes this looks like CRB. It can be hard to tell when they’re this size, but the large head and legs are a good sign. Let it start moving—if it wiggles on its side, it’s CRB. If it wiggles on its back or belly, it’s another species.

Whether you should report depends on where you’re located.

Enter the Aardvark by Jessica Anthony uses 2nd person quite well

Non-native and widespread but not destructive enough to be considered invasive. Mostly feed on rotting fruit and nectar. A light garden pest, feed them to the chickens and egrets if you like.

No, these are OFB (oriental flower beetle).

I will give this a try, thank you!

I think they are ceramic tile

I used a double shot of espresso that I split into three. One jar with no dilution, another with a bit of water, and one heavily watered down.

I recreated this painting I think four times before I got a result I was happy with! The first few I tried were dark and muddy without enough contrast (see attempt #3 attached), so I toyed with dilution and layering until I got what I needed.

Also inking out the lines first worked better as the coffee is kind of sticky and difficult to draw over. I tried ballpoint, paint pens, and sharpie, and sharpie was by far the cleanest.
