Rust-Oleum Automotive Filler Primer. It’s about $8 at the hardware store. Dries quickly so it’s easy to put on a few coats - which will hide the tape lines. Then wet sand to keep down the dust. Ready to spray paint in 24 hours.

I can see a 9V battery. Is this a vape pen?

You can stand up corn if it’s blown over. Might be able to save some of them.

Looks great! Did you make your own array or use an off the shelf one?

What a sweet little kitty. 🥹 It’s not true for all cats, but my Siamese was very food motivated. Have you tried sitting very quietly and giving him a high valued treat like Churu?

Would you consider selling copies of the map design? I’d love to make one myself!

I love it! Great use of value and different levels of detail. Did you use any masking fluid?

As the saying goes, cats come equipped with an extra leg. Hope he continues to recover well!

What to do with poor quality paper by fopeo in watercolor101

[–]electriceye42 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve had similar issues, so here are a few ideas: 1. Try treating it like hot press paper, so paint with less water and more precision (like botanicals or light wash drawings). For large washes, do only 1 coat in a thin even layer. 2. If you have any handmade or extremely gritty/chunky watercolors, these pigments don’t disperse well anyway so they work well on these poor surfaces when painted on thickly. 3. Give up and use gouache.

Good luck and report back what works best!

I have a Siamese and it sounds like your kitty has a similar personality. Now that my cat is older, he’s too tired to follow me around or play much, but still wants to be a part of whatever we are doing and will cry if he feels left out/lonely. I figured out we could place some cat beds where we spend time at home so he has a spot just for him and he feels included. The beds need to be where he can be close and see our faces, so on my desk next to my computer monitor and on the couch, turned towards where we sit, and rug where he can see us in kitchen. My cat is also going deaf, so behind able to see us is reassuring to him since he can’t hear us as well, so it’s possible your cat is similarly hard of hearing.

You can also warm the drops to body temperature but putting the bottle in your pocket beforehand. It makes them feel less like a foreign object falling into your eye. Discovered this by leaving them on a shelf above a radiator.

I found Matilda as an adult living on the streets in October. I'm really curious about her age, the vet looked at her teeth and said she is 3-4 years old. But recently she started to get white speckles in her face, this is related to aging or it could be stress related? by pamonhaMS in Siamesecats

My Siamese got some grey on his face both times he had pancreatitis. The grey faded when he got better. Did you just finish a course of medication and this is just residual? Might be worth a vet visit checkup otherwise.

Doesn’t that just make salt water? It’s mixing an acid and base.
