➡I accidentally bought Balut eggs: 2 live ducks! Now a Chat Thread!

I taught art for many years before moving into administration. Taught Beginning art to advanced classes as well as crafts and 3D projects.
Would enjoy seeing those photos.

Oooo. Do YOU have any art to share? Did you teach a particular age group or was it a general open class?

That is ridiculously cool looking. Where do I get one?

I feel you. I really struggle with finishing stuff too, I’m trying hard to kick that habit.
I’ve got some pretty neat concept sketches that sadly will probably never see the light of day.

Also, I should mention that it's HUGE!!!! Bout 3 feet wide and over that tall.
I'm working on some weird Nordic stuff right now that I want turned into chainsaw thingies.
Um, here are a couple unfinished things. I like working on black paper. These are oil pastel.

I, too, would like to see some work, especially 3D projects. No frame of reference there, so very interested.

That tree vortex is sick! Damn girl.
I love these, I wish I had your creativity. You need to do a huge one for sure.

Why, thank you! I am having a very hard time finishing that one. I could use some creative guidance (hint, hint). I'm stuck working on 11 x 14 for now, but I would love some crazy big sheets of paper to go nuts on. I've got things... dark things, that need to get out!!!!

i wish but they delayed them again until next wednesday. I got a couple free pullets out of them though for all the delays and for not letting us know about the first delay. they really didnt want to give me anything in return and sort of tried to tell me no but i told them that i would just cancel my order and order from someone else and i guess that did it for them.

Free chicken babies!

Hmm.. looks like you’ve got some tentacle action going on up top (lol)? I like the way the bright center pulls you in. You could try wrapping more tentacles around and really darkening the outside border (in both the creepy sense and with shadows), like a “hallucination trap” sort of thing. Giving me some elf-siren sort of vibes.

See???? This is gold. Darkening the outside. Ok. Gonna try that in addition to adding more monster tentacles.
Would you believe that I did nothing but complete realism until a couple years ago? I swear...

Chicklet update! To cheer everyone up on this scorching day.

I love the little welsummer.. she’s not insanely friendly like the barred rocks (they are the tiniest and bravest, they rush us and jump on our arms to get out— the Ginger adores them) but she’s so calm and collected.

Most of them are panting but they weren’t before I stirred them up with a new stick/grass clump to mess with. We gave ice water after this and we’re checking often for lethargy/holding wings out.

All eight (mostly) in one photo.

That is such a pretty collection of chicks!

Mex said it's either the compressor or compacitor.

He says it's at least 14 yrs old. He just messed with it...didn't do anything special and it came back on on it's own. He is going shopping now.

Pray to the light up Catholic shrine that it is the capacitor, it's cheaper to fix I think.
