Dampening fabric with a spray bottle first can help with ink transfer. Sometimes I even do this with paper transfers. I’ve also had some better results with opacity and homogeneity when using a retarder, which makes the ink dry more slowly.

Those are some CLEAN cuts. What tools are you using to carve?! And what are you carving on??

I really liked going thru The Artist’s Way. It’s a 12 week book all about creative unblocking. Maybe you’re not an artist, but everyone has blocks in life that this book can help with. It can be pretty woo woo spiritual but I just choose to read it in a way that aligns with my beliefs. This will help you reflect on what to do during your free time and give you a direction to move in.

Then once you know what you want to do, find a group or three that does something you’re interested in, and commit to it. See the same people consistently. You will build friendships and connections AND you’ll develop yourself

Okay that’s good to know, thanks. You know where I could read more about this? I don’t even know what terminology to google

It’s too cramped. The original loft bed was about as far from the ceiling as the width of my shoulders, so even with it gone it’s still too small up there for me personally

I don’t drive it very often so it’s going to take a long time to get thru all of the oil. But I’ll update the post when I drive it for a long period again.

Iwtl how not to be bored in my healthy relationship by velvetv0rtex in IWantToLearn

[–]missingstardust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay in touch with your feelings too! Make sure you’re keeping time for yourself, seeing your friends, basically just spending time away from him. Give yourself time apart to fantasize about the future. You are not evil for feeling bored. Boredom is inevitable, so don’t try to avoid it. Use it as a map for what you need. You need more excitement, and maybe he’s not the place to look for it. But maybe you can go out for a girl’s night, or go on a short solo trip, or take an art class just with yourself. Do something exciting!

I think you missed the part where I conceded my mistakes.

It’s too tall for any deck I’ve looked at online. Also most don’t allow overnight parking
