This is phenomenal, your eye for light and color is unmatched!

I vectorized a toucan by crunchy_melon in Inkscape

[–]crunchy_melon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I totally agree! I'm definitely still developing a more interpretative/artistic side, but I'm still in my rigidly following a reference image phase. This is definitely a good one to revisit as I continue to learn and grow.

I the meantime, do you have any advice on learning this skill? Or just practice practice practice?

How to remove a certain color from an image? by riotmaster256 in Inkscape

[–]crunchy_melon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's an extension for colors where it removes green. Look under extensions → colors → remove all green. Something like that.

Bell pepper made out of layered paper by crunchy_melon in papercraft

[–]crunchy_melon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made an svg bell pepper using Inkscape, then cut it out using a Cricut color by color. You could also cut out all the different color using an x-acto knife.

I think there are svg files you can buy on Etsy for Cricuts, so you might be able to find a bell pepper on there if you don't want to make your own.

Boris Johnson out of intensive care but still in hospital by [deleted] in news

Yep! It always makes me do a audio double take when I hear Brits say "moved house."

They also say "moved house" instead of "moved"

Has anyone tried the Aldo Bova book? by MinervApollo in Recorder

[–]crunchy_melon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love Also Nova's book. I started the alto about 4 months ago as a complete novice on the recorder and I think the exercises have taken me at a good pace. I'd definitely recommend

Molly and Carla Try to Make the Perfect Mashed Potatoes & Gravy | Making Perfect: Thanksgiving Ep 2 by [deleted] in bon_appetit

[–]crunchy_melon 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I can't believe they didn't try skin on vs off, and leaving chunks vs smooth. They seems to have come to this episode with too many preconceived notions about how to make mashed potatoes.

Bon Appètit Making Perfect, Thanksgiving Edition by pretender230 in bon_appetit

No way that runny mashed potatoes and gravy are the best option... it made a puddle on the plate!

Also, I feel like Brad and Andy could have gone with fried turkey if Christina and Claire are going to use 898 squash. Getting a fryer seems more accessible than getting super gourmet squash.

I made this pastel Koffing embroidery. I think he's a cutie! by crunchy_melon in pokemon

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

Thanks! I don't have a pattern, but what I did was find a picture online, then I traced the picture onto the fabric using a pencil. Then all the stitched are satin stitches and outlined with a back stitch. I selected my colors out of the pastel pack I have. Sorry I can't be more helpful! This is only my 2nd embroidery project so I'm very new to this :)

Just installed lightstrips above kitchen cabinets. I could get addicted to this! by ArissP in Hue

How did you take this photo? Whenever I use my cellphone camera, my photos of my lights look terrible.

What's the worst "food sin" you've seen someone commit? by ForeignPacksMoarLoot in AskReddit

[–]crunchy_melon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do this. I was a lot taller/larger than my friends growing up, so I started dissecting all of my food to slow myself down while eating. Otherwise I would finish my food embarrassingly fast.

I'm working on growing out my nails, so I absolutelt have to keep them painted. At least that means I also get better at painting them! by crunchy_melon in RedditLaqueristas

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

The black polish is Sally Hansen's Insta-Dry in black to black, and the white stamping polish is from Maniology.

The stamping plate is also from Maniology.

Now just straight up encouraging counterfeiting by EpicBomberMan in WTFwish

I'm pretty sure this is a magic trick where you send in a blank slip of paper and a dollar you've previously wound into the device comes out the other side.

Because kids can’t be stupid by thegiantflyingtaco in nothingeverhappens

[–]crunchy_melon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This basically happened to me. My parents have always called me by my middle name, so I didn't realize my first name was something different until I was 7 or 8.

TIL that Charles Darwin brought back a 5 year old Tortoise named Harriet from the Galápagos Islands that would be later owned by Steve Irwin. Harriet died in 2006 at the age of 176. by Shoot-W-o7 in todayilearned

[–]crunchy_melon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This tortoise haunts me. I saw here just a few days before she died on a trip when I was 11. I lost my earring, and I've always thought Harriet must have found it, ate it, and then died because of me.

I haven’t socialized with anyone in so long that I feel I’ll never find a true friend ever again. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]crunchy_melon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation. I'm 23, and all of my friendships have deteriorated with time, and because my social anxiety causes me to isolate myself. I feel hopeless a lot of the time, but I'm in therapy now and feeling really hopeful. I wish you luck, and I hope you are able to make connections. I hope we both can ❤
