I've made a flat print design. I'd like to turn it into wirework, and make a 3d shape . I've used cad, but I have used sculptris, and used it as if it were a ball of clay. To make human esque curvy shapes.. Ive always approached these things as an artist with no real mathematics or digital skills. The design I'm working on requires the opposite of what sculptris offers. I'm just aiming to make a 4 sided pyramid shape with wire work . But I have no idea where to start. I have nade it in real life haha, but i realise that if i had it in CAD, i can play around with scale and duplication far quicker and easier. I'm not a student anymore, I'd prefer to not spend loaaaads of money on software or memberships. Any advice welcome. I'm from UK if that effects software aswell

It's been months of plain noodles, crisps, crackers, grilled cheese. With the bread pulled off so it's just cheese...

He just ate a bowl of pasta and homemade sauce. Obviously I cried and watched from the corner like a creep. Who knew it was possible for pasta to make you cry. Not because I'm overwhelmingly happy that he has eaten. Because ... this is what I have to convince myself is happy moments. My child eating something that has some nutritional value.

I (31f) am a single parent and carer of a toddler. I didn't feel well enough to date for a long time. The last connection i had ended in physical and mental trauma, and i was just exhausted of all the flavours of unusal pain. But I got so lonely and longing for closeness. I struggle to relax and connect. I think I'm probably very difficult and I have a lot of baggage. But I connected with someone, lets call him S(42). We have been talking for a couple of months. I visited him for the first time 3 weeks ago, I had a few days of child care, so I spent them with S. It was confrontational, I realised how much I struggle with intimacy now. And although we had some beautiful closeness and a lovely time, i was distant and struggling internally. Since then we have both been busy, but we have chatted every day, and video called here and there. And then arranged for me to see him again a few days ago. I just got back home from that visit and my head is so messy.

We drank together and did cocaine on the first night. It was messy, we both became very talkative and confusing. Every time i told him something, he assumed i was double speaking and using stories to get a point across to him. The second day, I woke up and I could tell he didn't even want to look at me. So I started to panic and made arrangements to leave ASAP. When I went to leave, he asked me just to stay for a little longer to talk. We talked. Basically he said he didn't expect to see me again. He thought that our first meeting lacked potential for future. The paranoia about the things I say being "double speak" is destructive for him and makes me feel hopeless. I can't convince someone that what I'm saying is ... just what I'm saying, where do I start?

It's isn't even just this. I think we need different things. His need for a strong sensual woman intimidates any feminine strength in me. I think I'm actually too mentally unwell and traumatised. Like. I tried it, the evidence is saying ... just stop.

I (f31) just had an induction a few weeks ago. I've been going once a week. I struggle with social anxiety a bit, so I'm enjoying just turning up on my own, and it all being self-motivated. But 😂 every time, after about an hour and a half, my hands are slipping bad, and I'm starting to get blisters forming. On my induction, the woman had a bag for me to use, and I didn't even think about it. I have bought a pair of cheap beginner shoes because shoe hire is adding up, but buying chalk for some reason feels like I'm jumping the gun. Is there a general etiquette around chalk? Is there chalk I can buy from the place? Or should I just buy some?
