these are all from free people, colors would have to be pink, reds, oranges, yellow, or light green :)

wanting to know where to look for bridesmaid dresses in these styles with sleeves and high necks.

I bought a Sumatra wavy leaves. I asked what other cuttings she had available, she sent me like fifty messages and I just kept saying i wanted them. it was all a blur. I’ll update with the name list, I drive home. I’ve been wanting big leaf hoyas and these look so cool in-person.

1. Hoya AH 041
2. sp sumatra wavy leaves
3. verticillata sp lampung
4. Callistophyla sp Aceh
5. Aff lambii red
6. mystery clipping
7. She gave me a clipping of her hoya carnosa for free.

(not in that order lol)

I love scindapsus and saw these varieties on facebook marketplace. Anyone have any advice? Which one would you get are they stable variegations?

all are different species of hoya, i bought these bottles and was going to do water propogation because it looks fun.

any help would be awesome sauce :)

Questions:

Lighting: Should I keep the propogation bottles on the shelf or on the windowsill? I’ve seen varying statements about lighting saying less light is better?

Should I superglue the ends?

Can I chop these cuttings up even more or are they good to propagate as they are?

If I do water propogation is there anything I can add to the water to help?

I’ve heard a lot of people’s cuttings fail when moving them from water to soil? What can I do to avoid that?

Anything specific about propagating hoya’s?

thanks

i put this on for $220 thinking it was absolutely outrageous, just wanting to get a feel for demand but then it sold so fast. i love kim casali and her artwork, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is a favorite movie of mine.

it was so perfect and fit me like no other zip up ever. but, i owe it to this random man in arizona i will send off my love

always used to think those people who were on the fence on selling something were dum like just sell it or nah. but i get it now 😞 money vs drip is a hard choice

i have a ring like this that i absolutely adore, been dying to know more about. It was sterling silver and I got it for $8.

Would love to get any opinions, I want really busy maximalist traditional kind of looking ears. I heal my cartilage piercings pretty slow though and so i’m nervous about another helix because I got it pierced with a titanium flatback and downsized and it still gave me hell. Helix piercings really are my favorite look, I’m also thinking about a double rook. Maybe a tragus, but i’m worried because I wear earbuds for work. Might start stretching my lobes? Not sure, kind of stumped.

I have a really weird point of reference but, i got a hoodie with this tag that was worn in buffy the vampire slayer in 2002. Is this a 2000s tag or potentially earlier?

I may as well just dump all my thoughts.

My first thought is the internal mechanisms for these padlocks? I imagine they are relatively simple. I believe many did not require a key like the two on my bracelet. Whether because they have a spring mechanism or a catch to easily open and close. I imagine cutting one open and see everything going on. I have one that seems to require a key on my necklace but with some pressure I can cruelly unlock it. I wonder if I could make a key with some silver tubing and a sheet (the key is also simple). They are relatively easy to open with a paper clip.

I am also very curious about the seemingly brass padlock I used as reference? Was this functional or ornamental? It was very industrial and took a very long time to lockpick.

I understand the history a bit just from research and looking at jewelry catalogues. They seemed to be popular for quite a while. Often times they have dates or initials engraved on the backside. How were these engraved just scratched into the back? was there a specific tool?

I’ve seen that they were a closure for bracelets that were gifts from their partners like a promise ring of sorts.

If anyone is curious how I made the padlock (the finishing on it is a bit rough I apologize).

- used a template and cut it out of silver sheet
- then bent a strip of silver to shape and soldered it to seperate plate
- cut around the plate
- taped or superglued the two sides together to match up drill holes for tube rivets, and large drill hole in middle
- cut out keyhole
- cut the tubing and put the wire through and loosely assembled it
- bent some half round 8g wire until it looked good
- soldered one tube to the wire (used a needle file and soldered it directly underneath end of wire)
- filed into the wire and bent it inwards until it fit around the right tube rivet.
- finished off with the tube rivets

Probably could do it with different tube gauges.

I just bought the green pair and I love how they look backwards but probably need someone to tell it to me straight, and say they look goofy.

I love the visual interest they add to shoes and have been wanting to show some support for some quality craftsmanship and people who may be in this niche.

I saw in the rules to include boot information. I am still growing a collection so nothing crazy. The brown pair i’ve had for a while they are from the brand idyllwind, the black pair are brand new from J.B. Dillon. I got the black bootstraps off eBay and added some studs myself, the other pair I got off of Depop.

Totally get if bootstraps are not your thing but I think they are quite fun.

Especially as I go through this subreddit everyone is very different with very expansive varying knowledge. A lot of different pathways, I am in my capstone and have taken all the courses. Many of my professors are in marketing or graphic design. Which makes UX Design as a career very confusing. It is a bit overwhelming.

I am actually considering getting a MA in Library and Information Science, I find digital access to online historical materials very interesting and have done a lot of volunteer work within this. I also just love making random logos and helping with random websites, I am very confused how this transfers into a job it’s been weird.

For capstone courses in this program we help a local non-profit with their website and I absolutely love it. It is very confusing however considering the actual parameters for these non-profits, the website software that they use, etc. Very unsure how this would look as an actual paid job. Especially since I have little knowledge on actually making websites.

I am still connecting a lot of dots, I was not planning on this long essay but maybe I just had to get it out lol. I know this Venn Diagram is absolutely hideous, it felt a bit rebellious but I love pen and paper and it came to me in a vision I had to get it down fast.

do yall think distressing over it with a seam ripper is dumb

i also might go the visible mending route with some cool patch work stuff
