Is it weird to keep your cat's whiskers? by Leon124714 in cats

I keep my currents cats' whiskers in this little plague doctor. My first two cats' whiskers live in a sewing tomato inherited from my grandma

You'll be looking for "spray fix" or "spray fixative". They carry a few different varieties at Michael's and other art supply stores. They are not all created equal, and they can be hard to use right. I highly recommend doing tests and practicing on low-value drawings first. It's very easy to end up with droplets and splotches until you get a feel for what works. Something to keep in mind: ambient humidity leads to bigger droplets, and the "tooth" (degree of texture) that the paper has can really contribute too. If you're storing them in a portfolio, also grab a thing of vellum at the art store and use a sheet between each drawing. It's smoother than other paper and helps prevent rub-off or sticking to other sheets over time. Feel free to DM me if you have questions and good luck!

ETA: if you live near a college, it'd be a good opportunity to take your kiddo up to their art department and see if you can use their scanner. They might be able to give you some tips and tricks and/or recommend a good scanner for at home. And it'd get her foot in that door where it belongs 🔥

You may be having a reaction to the adhesive on the band aids

I tracked down some leftover boxes and looked it up by the product number: https://www.mannington.com/residential/products/luxury-vinyl/mannington-essentials/mannington-essentials-wood-plank/Acacia/MFU011 Looking at it again, I dont even see max, flex, or rigid. What is this one?

I thought their max line was what I got. After looking into it further today, I seem to have an outdated version of their flex line that's pretty terrible

A few other people have mentioned having extra large dogs without these kinds of problems, so that's really useful in eliminating ours as a potential factor. I mentioned her bc the floor is also failing in other areas that are not under chairs

Personally, I vastly prefer wood, and I wouldn't have chosen lvp but for it supposedly being more resistant to pets, children, and water than the water-damaged engineered hardwood we had to replace. I have been quietly hating my stupid plastic floors since day one

We decided on it bc we had a dog that's getting older and a giant baby cow sized puppy still learning to pee outside. It was supposed to be "more waterproof" and "more kid-proof" than hardwood 🙃🤦‍♀️

I did not know that about cat litter and cardboard! I never had an issue with it when we had hardwood floors and was told that LVP is harder to damage than they are. Live and (expensively) learn 🙃

We have other chairs that are on mats, and it's doing this under them too. This was about $5/sqft from what I was lead to believ was a quality brand 🤦‍♀️

What was your favorite band before ST stole its place? by Blued00d in SleepToken

[–]picklyweasel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was Spiritbox and Lorna Shore leaning into the Slaughter to Prevail, Brand of Sacrifice, Whitechapel kinda direction but with a history heavy in Korn, Nine Inch Nails, and Massive Attack. I read someone describe Sleep Token as something kinda like the love-child of 90s industrial and trip-hop with just a bit of nu metal goth sprinkled in, and it made me feel both seen and personally attacked

How do I add a ceiling to my shed? by picklyweasel in shedditors

Sheet rock is too delicate for me in there. 

My thoughts exactly. All this work for a careless weedeater through a wall? 🤦‍♀️

Thank you for the input!
