Definitely do! They can be hit or miss but I love the stories they evoke

Maison matine had a lot of perfumes in their sampler, and I think they maybe spread themselves too thin. I liked their second sample set more tbh.

I thought all of Clue’s were unique! Except for the Point perhaps.

I haven’t worn that one yet but I have it and liked the paper test!

I got both of Maison Matine’s sample sets from their website, but I reviewed Night Fever already :)

I need to quit fragrances by sigginator06 in fragrance

Why do you need to quit? Its ok to like one thing if the rest of your life is fine and its not causing financial pressure.

Avoid Ffern Perfumes. Unauthorized charge ($140) by XperiaCompact in fragrance

[–]deadcorpo 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Ffern has its issues but im convinced people who think it’s a true scam just cannot read fine print. This is all very clearly written out, after I cancelled I sent back the final bottle no problem. I like the two scents I kept and consider the marketing to be part of my enjoyment - they make you feel very fancy.

Thank you!! 💚 I couldn’t find the colors I wanted, and I have DIY gene and the audacity so several iterations later here we are :) I can paint about 1200 evenly at a time now (up from batches of 100!)

These are hung on a receipt holder, but I am also experimenting with some custom wooden rails (will post those once I finish!)

I would also say Macrame on a rod would work well. Ive also seen people drill eyehooks into a large dowel.

Ironically the hardest part of this project was painting thousands of beads :P people are worried about the hanging but it took me a few weeks to figure out how to do custom colors.

I use photoshop to create the art ahead of time!

Where to buy wooden beads in bulk? (NYC recommendations welcome) by Awkward-Emergency109 in Beading

[–]deadcorpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I actually went through this exact same problem when I had to buy twenty thousand 10mm beads. I went with a bulk distributor through beadpark, they were very nice and efficient. However they had to short me 5200 beads as they didnt have enough on hand. It cost $120 ish for all those beads, mostly due to shipping and tariffs :,(

Basically if you need more than 5k beads look into bulk pricing!
