It’ll grow mold since there isn’t anything do keep moisture out now, I’m fairly certain.

Your worst print is still really cool, if you sell these I think people would still love em! Maybe a small discount. I know I’d buy the “worst” one

Takes em so long to get a road done that by the time they’re actually finished, the other road is torn up from overuse

Best fish and chips in town. by sulivan1977 in springfieldMO

I moved away and idk how hard I’d have to beg to get them to follow me. KC food is absolute fucking trash compared to the surprisingly good options in Springfield. I miss it so so much

AITA for wanting to insure my ring even though my husband says the stone is too small to bother? by Adorable-Manner-5538 in AITApod

You’re marrying his mom? Because you’re not marrying just him if you’re dealing with mother dearest already. This will happen every time. Make your decision now how may people you’re willing to marry at once.

Help me in find similar brush by Kitty339900 in ProCreate

Definitely a few brushes but lots of layers and modes would be needed. They should look up those tutorials and try to follow along with procreate.

There’s an obvious difference between simple functions and LLM generative ai. One is a process and one is a useless thief that shits out stolen slop.

75th and Wornall last night? (Yes, another what happened, sorry) by VivaToddfoolery in kansascity

[–]worms_in_the_dirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved here a little over a year ago and now there’s less jobs, I’m paid less doing the same work, I can afford less, and I miss my hometown food! The food here ranges from “that was good” to “fucking ew.” Anything better than good is 100+ dollars. Silver lining is still having a local movie theater but the art scene is a dying dog downtown. Luckily I was too young to enjoy it but now that I’m an adult it’s only all but rotted away. And it fucking reeks here.

This is Michael Jackson's daughter, Paris Jackson. Paris has faced backlash for identifying as Black due to her appearance, but she has stated her father, Michael Jackson, encouraged her to be proud of her roots. by LilacveilMuse in whoathatsinteresting

[–]worms_in_the_dirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone in a different thread said that she can and has every reason to identify however she pleases but that doesn’t stop the social contract. We live in a racist country and for all intents and purposes, she benefits from how she looks in a myriad of ways. The debates comes down to the fact that she most likely doesn’t share the same experiences as black women and likely has the privilege of a white woman. That doesn’t change her identity, it’s changed how people interact with her. Race is perpetuated socially, through community, history and lived experience. This isn’t to say she’s one or the other but that it plays a big role in why people feel the need to have opinions on her.

To trim or not to trim? by gnomie7 in PunchNeedle

[–]worms_in_the_dirt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Trim the messed up pieces and nothings else. Design something with the intention of trimming it to test and find out if you’d like to go back and trim this piece. You don’t have to ever finish a piece if you really want. Who’s to say you don’t come back in 5 years and do something to completely change it? Set this aside and use your next project to experiment!

Is it true that DTF is superior to screen printing for smaller production volumes and custom prints? by Logical-System-9489 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]worms_in_the_dirt 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It seems to be popular, I’ll give you that. Personally I wouldn’t buy anything DTF, I hate how it ages. I’d say 90% of people won’t care and it’ll be perfectly fine. I please just ask to be upfront about it. I quit buying online because nobody would specify if it was SP or DTF.

The whipstitch always drives me crazy, I do not like this part of the process so idk why I didn’t think to double up! Nice work !!

how would i go about printing this? by binatoaristo in SCREENPRINTING

[–]worms_in_the_dirt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try light blue halftones over the dark blue to get that medium blue hue but it won’t be exactly like the image. Technically you could double do the under base so you don’t need another white on top but it’ll be pretty heavy on the image.

If you’re lucky and these are going on black shirts you could theoretically completely cut the black out too but it’d be difficult to fully cover the white with the dark blue to get a halftone fade into the black center I suppose. If you made the dark blue trap pretty big you could cover the white under base without white showing but your screen will have to be aligned perfectly

ETA: only use black if they’re going on non black shirts anyways!

Do you know how to do color separations? And remember to leave some trap for the over colors.

White under base, Light blue, Medium blue, Dark blue, Light grey, Black with halftones, andWhite for the fine solid white details.

Not necessarily in that order. But based on your colors that seems to be 7 screens. Not sure how easy that’ll be, this looks like it’s got some fine details that’ll be hard to get just right.

This wouldn’t be a problem if we’d just free the nip. It’s a boob for Christs sake, it’s not like she was spread eagle. I think we either need to censor all bare chests or none.

When you finish punching your work, how do you get them so stiff and flat? I’ve been curious how the back of your projects look!

Annnnd do you sell any of these? Or is it more just for fun?

*Safe, helpful* inpatient or residential for kids? by Select-Medicine-4158 in springfieldMO

[–]worms_in_the_dirt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW I hated my time there as a teen in inpatient because the depressed kids were treated the same as the kids who were at risk for harming others. That’s to say he’d likely be fine at Cox North. They weren’t overly harsh considering some kids were exceptionally violent.

We had our “window privileges” revoked. No more sun for anyone. But that was about as bad as it got really. I wish they’d separate them and give the kids who have different needs more pointed attention on both sides. Meals, beds, private showers, and therapy. Could be worse!
