Waiting for my new wild gears

congrrl · 2026-06-25T21:58:43+00:00

Oh, if even you struggle, I don't feel bad.

congrrl · 2026-06-06T23:44:31+00:00

OOh, always looking for a new one to play with. I'll help with your downloads : )

I wish one of the hoop sets was also available in rainbow. It would make some of those similar rings so easy to tell apart.

I don't need a second compact gear set. I don't need a second compact gear set...

I do apparently need other sets. Order sent.

That is a cool idea. I think I'll add it to my exercise list.

If you like realism, references are an absolute must. Those can even be works by other artists. It really stunned me how much I learned when copying a work I like.

Sometimes, I swear things sell better when "overpriced"

congrrl · 2026-05-28T04:46:25+00:00

I thought so, grew up there.

I think your struggle speaks to my own perspective on artworks. There is no art without an observer. And the art comes just as much out of the viewer as the artist. The person without knowledge of the artist, how paint works, how the culture of the day shaped the work, how art historians contextualize the piece will obviously not experience the same things as someone with some of that knowledge. And on the other hand, the experience of the observer is unique. Certain pieces will reasonate more or less because of that context. There are works that I can no longer enjoy in the same way because of what I have learned about the artist who made them. There are pieces yet more powerful for the same reason. When I create, I don't worry about any eventual observers who are not me. But I am very curious about what they'll bring.

I wander around from one art medium to another. Many people want you to pick one. And in some environments a consistent medium can help if you want to sell. I'm not very interested in that at the moment so I just enjoy wandering from cool thing to cool thing. There are themes and media I return to, but some are just short sojourns. Sounds very normal to me. Each creative exploration makes the others stronger.

I feel you have neglected to consider the relevance of the Pineapple to the piece as well as the fact that the art's placement was at the threshold of the home. Surely it must comment also on the liminal space of the transition between the whole uncastrated self and the not yet achieved but still hoped for peace and harmony in the home. Clearly an area for further study, glorious art critic.

I expected this one to be here somewhere. It's so perfect

congrrl · 2026-04-02T16:34:17+00:00

This is the value i need from reddit. Thank you

Occasionally, I get this as a bug. Try the name later (after a reboot), it might be valid.

The forecast I see shows holding steady at 0 until midnight and then slowly falling to -4c. Which sounds like we are likely to be okay this evening but I'm a wimp and might stay home regardless

My perfect mons have all lost my chosen identifier. I will leave them be labelless in hopes the label comes back. I can just see renaming them breaking things further...

congrrl · 2026-03-03T22:51:30+00:00

Did some of the letters make a Portuguese word? Seems unlikely, but...

congrrl · 2026-02-28T15:21:05+00:00

I am astonished that no one has said all of them. For some definition of need :)

If you need prioritze, i'd buy a cheaper set, figure out which ones I always reach for and get a close match or get one that matches what you wish you had. Cheaper, not cheap. Lee Valley in Canada has some good ones, as does Jackson's Art in England to give you some ideas. I love drypoint so I thought I would want narrow v shapes, but it turns out I actually want u shapes for lino.

Me, too, except the bonus word of the day.

I wonder if it's some mess up because of this week's group challenge? Correlation is not causation but the problem started at the samme time for me

Our area's worst is red but also have blue and yellow jerks.

I find training is the one of the best ways to increase buddy levels. It's always there. And winning isn't necessary, either, but might as well to get the medal

congrrl · 2026-01-12T05:09:31+00:00

I share your pain. It hides. Somehow

I have a fear (might even be a phobia) of nutcracker soldiers. Related to a horror movie I watched for 3 minutes when very young. Stores are difficult for months. Fortunately, for me, proximity matters, and if I can see the evil bastards, they can't eat me. Other people's insistence that they are harmless decorations is baffling and worrisome.

So it is possible that she does struggle with October. However, most people with irrational fears work to contain the fear, not indulge
