@CircuitNSorcery considering - I didn't get into artist alley at all, but it's so close to where I am it might be fun to just go up for a day or so and see if I get off the wait-list

@werewolfmilf its not on you :( people being flakes is so crushing, its like they dont realize how much it can hurt the other person

[saint @chimeradaydream]

@EvelynBenvie @mayakern yeah, same problem here, white collar work - I can wear the skirts to work no problem, but they're right on the line of professionalism, and a cropped polo would make me worry that it might get untucked under a skirt / I couldn't wear it with pants at all

When a letter arrives in Winterspring, Melostra finds herself musing on the presence of music in her life.

@giselledoodles a head's up, your google form link is broken!

[saint @chimeradaydream]

@CircuitNSorcery you look at metzens old sketches and it's obvious what he was inspired by, and the art direction doesn't have annnyyyyy of that old grit and grime anymore

@artbycreeps ooh, gorgeous! can i ask what varnish you're using, to be able to varnish it so soon after painting?

[saint @chimeradaydream]

@2nd__Death ooh, can you show what the stub tail would look like?

[saint @chimeradaydream]

finished up the design for a (hopeful!) enamel pin banner, to be engraved on velvet. no idea how it'll turn out - which is part of the fun, i guess!

[saint @chimeradaydream]

@CircuitNSorcery all the best material is in just old books designed for typesetters and the 19th century version of a graphic designer!!!

[saint @chimeradaydream]

i started having a lot more fun with and confidence in my art/designs when i leaned into what i love (ornament, organic flowing shapes, Just Animals) vs what i thought it should be. it took like 2 years and trusting the unconscious process but these feel Cohesive and Related

[saint @chimeradaydream]

@CircuitNSorcery all i do on pinterest is hunt down links to https://t.co/FU5yfQ1yKO books from the 1800s and 1900s about ornamentation and decorative design elements. its a real problem that i have no intention of stopping

[saint @chimeradaydream]

one day i will figure out a process that gets me close enough to the feeling of vintage foil-pressed designs on worn bookcloth... one day .....

[saint @chimeradaydream]

like this shit is genuinely inspirational to me

i don't NEED to make lasered rubber sheets for polymer clay designs but now that i know i theoretically COULD, not doing it is not an option. i must. i must test it out myself Just To See

[saint @chimeradaydream]

3 yrs of makerspace membership and studio arts degree has resulted in
pros : i can identify 9/10 times how an item / craft is made, the supplies you'd need and the tools to do it
cons : i now always go 'well i bet i could just do it myself'

[saint @chimeradaydream]

once you understand basic printmaking / sewing / woodworking / digital fabrication material techniques you can look at anything and go 'oh i know what that is'. case in point: these texture sheets are 100% lasered rubber and would cost all of 50c to make myself
