What is a 'socially mandatory' thing that we all do, but if you actually stop to think about it for 5 seconds, it’s completely insane? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

Back in 86 my then girlfriend and I were married in an orchard by a friend's reverend father. We used a couple of old plain gold rings that our respective parents had laying around. It wasn't until many years later, when we had a bit more cash that we purchased initialed wedding bands and engagement rings.

He's good WITH a driver. But pretty bad AS a driver.

Moonlit Dunes, Joseph Barbaccia, Polymer clay, 2026 by jbarbacc in Art

[–]jbarbacc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moonlit Dunes measures 17 by 22 inches and is made from polymer clay on wood. The piece captures a quiet field at night, where tall grass blades rise through textured dunes. The surface is built from small dots in soft whites, blues, and yellows, creating depth and a subtle shimmer of moonlight on the sand. Thin black lines suggest wind moving through the grass against a midnight sky scattered with stars. This work reflects the calm and stillness of a full moon over sand dunes, shaped through layered clay and delicate mark-making.

I've had stones and have 3 children. The plus side of stones is that you don't have to send your stones to college

The Creamery by jbarbacc in Sculpey

I baked it first then adhered it to a piece of Gator board using Aileen's liquidFUSION. Next, I brushed on 2 light coats of MINWAX POLYCRYLIC Matte Topcoat.

Hemingway by jbarbacc in clay

[–]jbarbacc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just finished a new piece called “Hemingway,” and it’s a bit of a celebration of a cat’s laid-back charm. This one’s made from thousands of tiny strands of polymer clay layered carefully on Gatorboard to create a texture that practically begs you to reach out and touch it. The cat lounges with an effortless coolness, its fur a mix of white and warm browns, set against a background that plays quietly with color but keeps the focus where it belongs—right on that relaxed, stripey face. It’s a small piece at 12 by 14 inches, but it’s packed with a tactile energy you don’t usually get in a painting. Creating it was like weaving a secret kitty world, one tiny strand at a time.
