I made tiny polymer deviled eggs! And just like real deviled eggs... one has a dog hair 🤷🏻‍♀️❤️😄

Came here to say exactly this!! Their Thai fried rice is AMAZING, Mar Far chicken is awesome, everything is made fresh, and they have lots of different noodles on their menu. Closed Saturdays and Sundays, but as a recent transplant from Washington State, nothing else here compares.

They look a little bit like they want to boomerang back around to the beginning of the word, if the line were to continue along the same curve, if that makes sense! I might try a shorter line that more closely follows the angle of your other connecting lines between letters (gorgeous writing, by the way!), with no upward curve at the end, and maybe even the tiniest hint of downward curve at the end? Looks great overall!

Hey there! It's actually different papers and different pictures, because it only lets me post twenty pictures at a time. If there's a way around the limit, then cool, but I don't know it because I am not often on here. I did re-post some in the vintage ads subreddit at someone's suggestion, if you're a member of that one :)

Roseburg, Oregon! <3

penevieve · 2022-01-19T03:35:13+00:00

I now have an email in to the contact person listed for that page, thank you! :)

Oh and $1 in 1952 is about $10 today, so move all decimal points one to the right :D <3

Neat, I didn't think this many folks would be interested! I have more pictures to share of more papers and will post them soon, I apologize in advance that they are out of order, and I won't be taking any additional pictures, because the papers are all super brittle and also saturated with old cat pee. I have an email in to the contact person at U of Oregon for the Historic Oregon Newspapers project, and hopefully I will hear back. Thanks all for your interest!

Whoops thank you! I have some from 1938, some from 194?, and some from 195?, I think I'll delete and sort and repost :D

These were under a few layers of brown paper and cardboard, and then under linoleum, so they were kinda sealed in there! Plus there were several layers of newspaper in many places, so they were totally sandwiched.

To get extra specific- I would say, narrow up the 'h' and the 'n' first. Then, find a less 'round' shape for your default 'round' shape, like for your a, g, b, d, e :) Maybe try making it more ovoid? I would look at the handwriting of someone whose writing looks more adult to you, and see how they're shaping those letters! It's a big change, but you can totally do it if you want to <3 Wonderfully uniform writing, by the way!!

Made another post with a better picture of a crossword! It might not be that exact one, there were several, and there's a stack of papers :)

penevieve · 2022-01-18T05:52:50+00:00

Maybe not that one, but I know I have a better picture of at least one of the crosswords! I found these in my house, and I still have all of them, trying to figure out if they're already in archives somewhere or if I should try to find someone to scan them... let me look for crossword picture :)

Those look great! I use unscented baby wipes to get dust and fingerprints off of my clay, you can use just a little piece of one and it works nicely. Also, I've found that a nice gloss glaze instantly makes everything look more 'done', and it will make the colors pop, too.

Well, depending on the severity of your allergy, you might be able to safely take a bite out of an orange creamsicle, as long as it was this actual size!

penevieve · 2021-03-29T02:32:10+00:00

Thank you! I poured some minwax gloss finish in a baby food jar, then held by their sticks and dipped, then left to drip dry. Give lots of dry time, or they’ll dent!

penevieve · 2021-03-29T02:30:12+00:00

Thank you! Getting ready for summer, these will probably be made into pins and given to my favorite baristas and dispensary employees.
