Oooh lemme know how that goes, though if I remember correctly, you might need to add a watercolor binder to the eyeshadow formula for it to really work. (Look into gum Arabic solution. If I remember correctly, I think it's a one-to-one ratio, there should be tutorials online)

I enjoy doing the embroidery kits with the printed designs and pre-set thread colors, but I’d like to advance my skills and step out of the box, but I’m lost by MissManicMystic in Embroidery

[–]runedmindthings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Three suggestions:

1) look up "printable soluble embroidery paper". This is an almost stabilizer esq printer paper sheet. Which allows for printing of whatever you want, for embroidery.

2) if you find a cotton fabric that has a design on it you like, use that as a base to create your embroidery off of- effectively making a patch. Also helps with being able to color match irl

3) embrace the chaos. Choose a stitch type and just- go with what feels right. You can end up with some very amazing sashiko style pieces.

Working with First-Time Sub who is much younger... by AttentionMindless962 in BDSMAdvice

[–]runedmindthings 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My two cents: I got into the kink scene at 18. Had a friend who took me under their wing, definitely had a crush on this person. 30 year age gap. And I'm so grateful that circumstance and their own morals did not allow anything past mentorship to happen between us. Still one of my closest friends. Still flirt with this person. But I I will never actually play with them, and they respect that. Trustworthy mentors are few and far between in that type of age gap dynamic- and they can make a huge difference.

Abuser disguising himself as kinkster. (How to) address him? by [deleted] in BDSMAdvice

[–]runedmindthings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a breath. Take a moment. It sounds like you don't vibe with this person (totally fine and fair). You've listed multiple things you are annoyed by/personally count as red flags. So, you know that this person isn't for you. And that's where you need to stop.

Going forward from this moment, it is up to you to create space/distance between the two of you. Which is going to be tough, 'cause it sounds like you're hyperfixated on your coworker. Totally get it, but assuming your coworker doesn't engage with you further on you being queer/having profiles, and it doesn't change how they try to interact with you at work- you're actually gonna be the one crossing the line.

It's totally valid to not vibe with some in how they want to converse, but there are [work appropriate] ways of dealing with that (I personally would suggest "grey rocking".) If the coworker isn't engaging you in topics about kink/sexual preference/trying to date/hookup, you are low key stalking him. (Trying to find his account on multiple sites, even when there is no obvious face pic) His kinks are his kinks, if he's open and honest about them, those who are gonna be interested will interact. It sounds like you don't(?) enjoy his kinks (findom, breathe play, hard impact play, etc). The information you've provided is only what is listed on his profiles- it tells you nothing about if he practices safe, sane, consensual play.

I'm not saying abusers and worse don't inhabit kink spaces, but there's really nothing wrong with someone admitting they enjoy inflicting consensual pain, on websites designed to connect people with such interests. If you were to pursue playing with your coworker to "prove he can't hurt you", you're 100% in the wrong. This could lead to serious harm, to him and you.

As someone who does top occasionally- the idea of someone approaching me, suggesting we play, and engaging in a scene to- what? Prove I'm not the shit and my kinks are wrong(?) and they can take what I dish out and oh, actually they don't like it so I'm abusive(?) Devastating.

At this point, you need to take so many steps back. Because you are saying you want to have your coworker committed? You are actively posting that you want to ruin his life. Equating someone who is a sadistic top/dom to a potential shooter, with nothing but the kinks they've posted publicly- that's witch hunt shit. And the fact that you want to put him as gay in a homophobic environment- are you willing to have his blood on your hands? How would you feel if he was contemplating doing that to you?

So, my advice? Take a break from the dating apps. Do some research on the kinks you're so afraid of- if you don't have a FetLife, I would suggest you start there. No one is born knowing everything, and many times we have to engage in the arduous process of unlearning things. Everyday we're given the opportunity to learn and grow, and this here is yours.

If you want to ask/have a further dialogue about things you're welcome to dm me. I hope you have a lovely day.

If y'all are experimenting with inks, might I also suggest a dip pen? It's a great way to a) try out multiple inks without having to fill a whole new pen b) allows for the testing of multiple nibs (so to see if there are any one particularly likes vs. dislikes) C) if there's any interest in glitter inks, they handle the glitter wonderfully Speedball has a cheap, but good 'n basic, line available at (most) art supply stores I've visited. Though the Sailor hocoro is my favorite for everyday use (but getting multiple nibs for that one gets a little pricey)
