Problem is I don't know whether to go back to my tiny art museum pieces (so much counting) or try and work in the glow-in-the-dark spiderweb... also a lot of counting...

In other news, I started learning how to cross stitch. Almost done my 2nd project, just under 1000 stitches to go!!

I have so many ideas, and I'd love to learn to pixel to make them happen

I'm so sad this place is so dead, there was such a good thing going. No announcements in over a year now =(

Is this good lime green gradient? I haven't posted in ages and can't remember how to make good gradients

Best way to get volts is by posting, sadly it's pretty quiet these days

Aaaaaaaand this Megadeth song is stuck in my head xD
A tout le monde, a tout mes amis, je vous aime, je dois partir
These are the last words, I'll ever speak, they'll set me free

New temp role at work, so many new things so quickly. Maybe I'll have to type out the audio file I've been listening to repeatedly for 3 days xD

@toe: You're very welcome!! Neons make me happy, especially when I can contrast them with black, haha. I'm a SUCKER for contrast stitching ♥
My favourite colours are black, purple, and lime/neon green (so Voltra's Coal, Eggplant, and Lime), so your avi makes me VERY happy xDD
That's exactly the kinda thing it was, movie with a live orchestra! Ahhh, it was so much fun! I loved every second of it! We had pretty decent seats, but I couldn't see the brass or woodwinds behind all the strings (so many violins, haha). I think next time I might wanna get a balcony seat, or actually be further back and a little higher up.
I wanna go again so bad, I think they're doing Star Wars episode 5 in October, and sounds like Harry Potter #1 in April. I'd love to see Pirates of the Caribbean or Lord of the Rings in this format too =O
You got to do cross stitching in school?! That's so awesome, I wish I'd got a random cross stitching day =(
I did get to learn how to make chainmaille in a jewellery class in high school though, so I can't complain!
I got a couple of rainbow patterns off Etsy, for like $5 or less. I wanted to start with something I love that's on the simpler side (so I don't get frustrated and am less likely to make mistakes). I'm sure I could've pixelled a rainbow and made my own, but I figured it'd be smart to go a pattern someone had already worked out, they've already selected the colours and provided stats for what colours and how much floss, etc. Take the guesswork out, ya know?
I'm excited to have someone to post with, cause I'm basically just like "must earn Volts for commons" one-track-mind. I can't wait to see your super-commons avi! ♥

@toe: All good, it happens =) I love your very brightly coloured avi! Neons make me happyyyy!
I'm at work (boo), but have plans with a friend afterwards and I'm very excited! We're going to see Star Trek (the first Chris Pine one) but with a live orchestra! Super-stoked.
I'm also really excited because I just bought my first cross stitch pattern and I'm going to go buy my floss colours tonight. I'm so excited to start, cause it's basically IRL pixel art ♥
There's SO many older items I pine for, kinda sucks things are so quiet and it makes it hard to exchange for things, but that doesn't some be from drooling over the Item Museum xD
Thankfully we also have a lot of really great commons, so I'm trying to build a bunch of avis just using those too

@Lina: I haven't seen too many people with chainmaille gloves (fitting to the fingers is a real pain), but a purse sounds really cool! I think I've seen people do change purses, but never a full like shoulder bag. Now I wanna do something stupid and make a chainmaille messenger bag....
I love when people make the effort to put chainmaille in cosplays and actually do it properly rather than just painting a chunky knit with metallic paint. Armor is definitely a skill, but you get to use so many much prettier, more decorative patterns when you do jewellery, haha
I've never woven anything with any sort of design, I just do stripes, so colour changing isn't that painful. I would absolutely be lazy and just snip or glue ends down The first weaving I did I think we took off the cardboard loom and put on sticks we collected from outside xD (again, like grade 4...so like 8-9 years old)
Ohh, that's really cute! I bet it'd look awesome with a nice little gradient background, but there's nothing wrong with a plain background either! I'd love to do a scene from a Pokemon gameboy game or something
Oooh, spriters resource, I'll definitely check that out! Pixel art = instant cross stitch pattern xD
I've always found it hard making marks in books I've bought, I definitely have the "keep things pristine" quirk. If I really wanna colour something I'd probably scan/photocopy it xD

@Ruby: Yeah! I have no idea where it is now, I might still have it or it may have been donated or given to younger cousins or something, but it was interesting. I think I was like 8 or 9 when I got it so it's been years since I used it
Okay now I'm curious about this jewellery clasp holder stick things, can't say I've heard of those. Just looked, that's a neat idea! I can definitely see how having the extra stick and the alligator clamp would help!
I swear I've seen another version for helping hold bracelets on while you're clasping them, but now I can't find it
Ohh right okay silly bandz were the dinosaur ones. I remember seeing those and just thinking they looked uncomfortable AF.
I also remember the skinny rubber ones that were kidnda meant to be like bangles? Oh what were they called..... jelly bracelets?
I could never get my silicone ones to un-sticky, once they got dusty and warm they got sticky and were unsalvageable D:
