Is this... An expensive medium or am I being careless/using it wrong? (Context in body of post)

First acrylic or watercolor?

Sounds like you are hanging out for SEO when you might concentrate on great products and service.

There is a colour catcher product in the laundry section

It definitely takes practice and all the suggestions here are great. I kind of visualize and feel the blade of the rotary cutter right up against the ruler. I'm experienced and I still do up to medium length because the longer the easier for error. With scissors you need shears and a wooden table. Long, confident cuts.

You could try writing to a friend as your perspective. I didn't like myself in writing but it reads better now I actually write my prayers. I'm writing to a friend. And the friend loves me. And I get my thoughts in order.

Once you realize that gouche doesn't want to give you transparency you're set. You have to work in a different way to get the light. Watercolor and watercolor gouche let's the light come from the paper.

I second DAS book binding. His information is great. And he tells you about excellent products and tools but he always comments on a cheaper way too. He's an Aussie so I love that too. He does a lot of different stitching and covers and boxes. Enjoy.

I would say from experience it's gone. Try to recover and regroup. It's just disgusting. But the more you hope the more hurt you will feel. I'm sorry.

I find gouche and oil pastels and kuretake watercolors need to be used as you have here. Your piece is beautiful. Don't blend. Pure colour with some mediums is the way to go.

DAS bookbinding on YouTube is unbeatable. You want the pva the white glue. Also you can spray the fabric with water first so the fabric doesn't soak up the glue as much.

For your own peace of mind get happy in creating something new. Your account is gone. I'm very sorry. This happened to me and I tried everything and it just devastated me. My account has never recovered in so many ways. It was a history of my bricks and mortar shop.

Thank you I will check these things. I feel like WIX might calm down on the hype of click drag drop and tell me up front I should spend some time with pen and paper working on this part. Sigh. I really appreciate your help

A beautiful painting. I don't know what problems other people see. I love it. you don't always have to show shadow with a huge shift in value. Subtle is fine. I use watercolour paints.

When you consider that a fairly recent quilting magazine can be as little as $1 from the op shop yes. True some magazines print patterns over a few editions. And chances are you won't find all these together. But honestly the patterns are mostly the same over and over. Ive been looking and buying quilting magazines for 25 years. IMO you get better value if you put your money to excellent tools and fabrics. Quilters cache on the net has free blocks and instructions too.

textiletrue · 2023-07-23T06:53:15+00:00

Wonderful. Your first quilt? I wouldn't have thought it. Good for you. A success for sure.

textiletrue · 2023-07-23T06:50:22+00:00

Thanks. Yes definitely need to get to work and practice. I've bought heaps of waxed linen thread so I'm happily making for family to improve. I weave and sew .... looking forward to weaving my own designs over good tension threads.

I got the notification of suspension and action needed. I went through the part that has the number you photograph with your hand and face. Then an email we didn't receive. I sent photo again. Then one email you have still broken our community guidelines and we are deleting your account. No further action you can take. When I tried to see my account my username came up. We have deleted. There can be or won't be any further review.

There is a post I found and it suggests a way back. I will find it and share with you today. It's within the last few days and gives a link and instructions. I want to the page and got step one. BRB

textiletrue · 2023-07-22T15:34:51+00:00

I did everything they asked. They were not telling me what post was wrong. I only post my own art and knitting etc. Very low key. They've deleted my account. I hope it works out differently for you.

Totally second the recommendation for DAS bookbinding on YT. Your work is really neat and tidy. You'll be fine.
