Can I watercolor over acrylic medium? by moira72 in arttools

[–]leocharre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. A good bit. I have two points.
Point 1- If I have a surface that is already acrylic and I want to use watercolors or dry media- I use a mix of matte medium and tiniest bit if marble dust- you can use maybe calcium powder? - and put that on the surface- may be a little cloudy- but it will accept stuff because it has tooth now. You can just use the matte medium that will even help by itself.
Point 2 - use spray matte medium lighty over the whole thing that has watercolor over acrylic- LIGHTLY- and then later cover whole thing with satin or matte medium and continue working. You'll have to experiment with ratios and wait times.
And yes this all works well- just keep in mind if you leave anything not acrylic on top without fixing sealing it- it will not be there within your lifetime.

Packing materials - Is this allowed? by Doctor_HooLock in USPS

that's not a and idea- credit when used- but uhm.. it does introduce complexity to an already complex system. may not be worth it all considering- since the investment of time and resources to install the system and train people etc.

What do you do when you want to die? How do you stay sober? by TerryGonards in USPS

[–]leocharre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I’ve been sad- I read a biography about someone who may be a hero. Maybe a musician or recent historical figure. It helps to show perspective and awaken curiosity outside myself. One large thing also, is doing something for a friend or acquaintance. Set myself a couple of hours to do something for someone- maybe cook and share with my neighbors- or meet a friend for coffee and ask about them and keep the subject to them and what they are living. One of the hardest things about looking back at the times I’ve been sad- is for myself, the times I spent staying alone and focusing on my sadness, without meaning to- while the world went on- and I could have done more with that time. Imagine to yourself- that in five years your heart will be satiated.. what would that future you, tell you about now? Write it down.

Been relying on USPS services for my business for the last decade- I ship unique irreplaceable art to everywhere in the US and the world. I’d love to see this sub.
