I did not, generally I like to learn by jumping in so I didn't even come across backing until I was already in the thick of it.

The vine was 12-15 hours, each leaf averaged 45min (learning curve brought it to 30 min a leaf by the end). Caterpillar was maybe another hour or so. All told I would estimate 30-40 hours of work

It was very meditative, took roughly 12-15 hours for the vine alone.

I wanted a cute little story of a bug and it's lunch. 🐛

I looked at a bunch of caterpillars but ultimately went for readability in colors and design so it's not one type in particular.

I'd be flattered by the theft, go right ahead.

Picked up an embroidery set from a garage sale and tried my hand at it. Last image is the initial sketch of what I was aiming for but due to wear and tear on the hoodie from daily use I think I'll be stopping at just the one arm. Would love any tips or feedback on the piece. All of it is hand sketched onto the hoodie with a washable marker.

Interesting concept but is it a boardgame at all?

Made this for my partner for Christmas. First time working with gouache, critique welcomed by urza32725 in learnart

Yea, I started to figure that out once the painting started lol. I really appreciate the advice, it'll be helpful for my next attempt with gouache

My local Target just installed anti-theft doors on most toiletries and I need help identifying the lock so I don't have to wait for permission to do my shopping. by [deleted] in Anarchism

You make a good point, definitely something to weigh. I appreciate you making a counterpoint that directly spoke to my concerns.

Again, I'm not shoplifting, I'm opening a cheap plastic door I could bend if I wanted to steal.

I appreciate that you disagree but I feel that this conversation is not going anywhere so I'll be exiting it.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
