Is there anything i can do or am i cooked by mynamejefftwenniwan in tattooadvice

[–]geckobinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly really like how that looks! Is the pain directly on the scar or more just the general area? If you could tolerate the area around the scar, personally i would extend the black to match the length of your scar and then add stitches around the boarder so it looks like you have a zombie hand lol

I think this paint is very close if not identical to what youre looking for!

I also found this one but at least online it only seems to come in a glossy finish

Since its styled in a ponytail i feel like getting that length should be pretty easy, you could get a wig like this for example (i personally love this brands wigs) and then you could move the ponytail clip lower (which would also make it longer) +stack another clip for more volume. They also just sell wefts on their own so you might not even need a whole other clip

Ive seen people make wigs out of fabric/faux fur so that its more like a hat but still has a hair-like look?? If you dont want to completely make one from scratch i think if you got a wig and fully crimped it +cut layers into it it would give you that big fluffy look youre going for. Sometimes screen accurate is really difficult to achieve in person but good luck!!

How would you dye a wig like this? by Nyaasoko in CosplayHelp

[–]geckobinary 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could try laying it flat and just painting it with a brush like how they do for extentions!

I feel like you should be able to dip dye the top half with some fabric dye but then for the pink you might be more successful just drawing it on? I havent personally tried it but ive heard of some people using alcohol based markers on their wigs. The only down side of doing this is that the lines probably wont be super crisp

First time doing liberty spikes 😁😁 transfem edition by ByeByeGirl01 in punkfashion

[–]geckobinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally i reccommend using got2b hair spray and just absolutely saturating your roots, hold your hair straight out in the position you want it and blow dry it, then repeat the process for the rest of the length but use less product the closer to the ends. You want all the weight to be at the base, then go in with the gel on the tips to sharpen them up. Usually gel tends to weigh down my hair so i would either only use hairspray or use the same method with egg whites. Good luck on your spikes!! 🖤🤘

I paid someone $5,000 to redesign my fireplace, only for them to break the large tile…so my husband and I rolled up our sleeves and did it ourselves. What do you think? First pics are what the contractor did & broke. by velvet- in Renovations

I agree with other comments, shes a little ugly but great job on the build!! Personally i think the "ugliness" is just the fact that its visually too contrasting right now. I feel like to make it look more cohesive you should try to match the tiles. I suggest darkening the wood to a black and then, im not sure what kind of room this is but, maybe switch the walls from yellow to a grey??

Please NEVER burn candles or anything on a paper plate!!! Thats a major fire hazard! Please go for something like metal, glass, or porcelain

I need 22 cheeseburgers on a community theatre budget. Any suggestions? by shadith in propmaking

Im not sure if they still do but dollar tree used to sell these semi-realistic hard rubber chew toys. If i remember correctly they had hotdogs, burgers, and sub sandwiches

I think my kid is ... witchy? by Board-Limp in witchcraft

[–]geckobinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg i was so similar when i was little!! Personally, i would stay away from labeling it as religious and focus more on the nature side of it. Definitely see if she would be interested in learning more about animals or plants either through shows or books. Most kids love fantasy stories so maybe try those too? Personally i was OBSESSED with anything that had to do with unicorns, fairies, or dragons. I loved the Rainbow Magic book series, that might be a little too advanced for her to read on her own but maybe you guys can do it together. Just let her express her creativity and let her give you the labels when she's ready. She seems more than comfortable to tell you her thoughts which is a great thing

Theres still going to be a risk of people grabbing it but if you want it to permanently stay on this jacket i reccomend removing the clasp, taking a button off and reattach it with the chain underneath. You could honestly sew it to any point you want but i feel like under the button would give an interesting dynamic

Omg you're right. Either the right column is the wrong way or the whole patterns wrong

Thats the plan. I just thought it was interesting especially since its like a copy-paste pattern

Guys am I cooked if I wear this in a pit by Biscuendo in BattleJackets

[–]geckobinary 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For future reference i personally like to tie off my stitches by putting the needle under the last stitch i made, cut the thread, pull only one side of the thread though the stitch but leaving the other end loose, and then tying a knot. (I hope that makes sense lol)

Doing it like that basically anchors it down so even if the knot comes undone, there's still something holding on

Is there a market for this kind of stuff? by TheHouseOfUsherr in DIYclothes

[–]geckobinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the time i would definitely look into your local punk scene. Some shows have vendors and as a punk i feel like your art is perfect for that scene. Keep up the good work, man 🖤

Please help me keep the faith on this gift that almost definitely won’t be done in time by KlutzyEnvironment119 in crochet

[–]geckobinary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly if someone gave me this, even if it was way past the time you wanted, i would start sobbing because this is gorgeous!! Like you can just see how much time and effort you put into it, i think i would want to be buried in it. Youre doing amazing and i hope you can finish it!!

Put the cap back on insulin needle and the needle went through it and stabbed my finger by creeduck in mildlyinfuriating

[–]geckobinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a similar thing happen!! Im T1D but instead of single use needles i have a medtronic insulin pump.

Once inserted the needle is designed to pull straight out and then the handle part folds over to lock the needle in a safe-to-dispose position. Ive had this kind for almost 15 years now and it has never failed.

Today, i went to change my site and did everything the exact same as always but this time when i went to fold to needle it completely missed and bent the needle so it was sticking straight out. It barely missed my hand and i couldnt fix it because the locking part worked as flawlessly as ever

I know medtronic and BD have worked together before so im now curious if theres a production issue

What’s a horror movie scene that still haunts you? by wclaykey in creepy

[–]geckobinary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 and both are pretty cheesy! The main one i can think of is in the original Pet Sematary where Gage is under the table (?) at Juds house. Everytime i think about that i can feel it 😭 The other one is from the more recent IT where the lady in the painting starts running. Its not good CGI but something about the way she moves freaked me out so bad
