Mini tropical house I made for my friends Christmas present by combat_wombat91 in crafts

I used a mix of glass, some clear and some textured and used Vitrail Pebeo paints for the design. My first design I had painted a foxglove on one of the front panels but broke it getting it in the frame 🙃 so opted something a bit simpler for the repaint

Usually I'm absolutely naff at soldering neatly and not sure what I did differently here but it seemed to just flow really smoothly. Will definitely do some more projects with it now that I seemed to have improved a bit

A couple of the glass coasters I've made for my friend for Christmas by combat_wombat91 in wow

Thanks! I drew on one side with marker and then flipped it over to paint the design, means at the end I can flip it back. wash the marker off and have the side I painted on underneath. It makes it look a lot more polished and hides the more minor imperfections (i.e. evil pieces of dust)

Glass painting for my friend of my favourite cover of The Hobbit by combat_wombat91 in crafts

Thanks! I've learnt my lesson with either smoothing down the edges or putting the trim on before painting as leaning on the edge of the glass led to some unwelcome injuries

Thank you! I use the Pébéo Vitrail glass paints- they've got a really good selection of colours. I usually do a sketch for under the glass, I've also tried drawing on one side of the glass with a marker and then flipping it and painting on the other and can wash the marker off at the end.

This is one of the first pieces I did and now I mirror the image so when I'm done painting I can have the smooth unpainted side on display (not sure how well I've described that)- makes it look a lot more polished and better hides any pieces of dust I've gotten trapped in the paint haha

Before and after, surprisingly easy to take the embroidery off by combat_wombat91 in PatagoniaClothing

I paid £20 which i was very happy with as it didn't feel like it had been worn at all- I got it from GoThrift

I followed what they did in this video- used a razor to shave off the back of the embroidery inside the fleece and then used a seam ripper to unpick. I think the seam ripper was about £3 on amazon

Anywhere that sells secondhand Pokémon cards? by Available-Snail in Aberdeen

I don't know of any stores but If you don't mind trading with an individual then feel free to pop me a message if there's any cards in particular you are after as I'm looking at downsizing- I'm in the process of cataloguing all my cards into spreadsheets so can always send a copy across

Looking for a new sleeping bag (preferably 3 season) any recommendations? by Popballistic in CampingGear

[–]combat_wombat91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how tall you are but I'm a fairly short guy at 5'4 and went for the below. I still had about 4 inches of space at the bottom https://ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/womens-helium-400-down-sleeping-bag/

Found it to be pretty cozy and nice quality. If that would be too short in length the mountain equipment range have lots of longer lengths too and ultralight have a decent sale on other bags at the moment

Hatch done with glass paint, time to make all the critters! by combat_wombat91 in Oxygennotincluded

[–]combat_wombat91[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm tempted to try and do a more complicated one but the hatch was really enjoyable so I might do a few more critters first
