About a year and a half ago, I tried making a diamond painting for the first time, together with my grandma, as an attempt at keeping her occupied. Since then, she and some of my other family members have gifted me several others to make, because I said it was fun to do. The problem is, each sing...

I recently decided to add a certificate of authenticity for my paintings. After creating a template, I started to fill out the first certificate for a painting I made in 2022.

I know that opinion-based questions are off-topic on SE, so I'm not requesting or hoping for answers to my underlying question. Instead, I'm hoping for pointers on where to find the resources from which to derive the answers to those questions. I've just started an "Intro to Drawing" course and c...

I just found an interesting jersey fabric with animal print online. But I'm confused because it's a "Punto die Roma"-Jersey. Is there any difference in sewing this fabric or is it just a little bit thicker? Do you have any reference on how to handle it? Thank you!

from a crafting perspective how do the properties of transparent uv crafting resin differ from transparent photosensitive uv resin used in 3d printing.

I tried to find out about the manufacturing technoique of this, Picture buf haven't found much. AI also gave contradictory answers that siver wire is used somehow..

I have an idea to create in a pottery class a shape quite fragile. Just imagine a long thin "stick" of clay, which needs to support a bubble at one end. The question is: is it possible to build this "stick" around a metal wire (probably some steel), without the clay breaking / cracking during fir...

I have a Singer 306k machine, and it has a habit of somehow snagging the upper thread with the tension disks. Then if its just going slowly the machine stops dead, or if at speed the upper thread snaps right at the needle. I've checked when the thread has just snapped, and there is no way I can ...

I'd like to print short pieces of text or graphics on a post-it note 2-3 times a day. I'll start with TODO lists. I'd like to stick them on a surface as a reminder, and take them off when they are done. They don't have to be post-it notes. Any similar paper is ok. The paper size should be 2 inch...

Downloaded some patterns for making some outfits for my 12 month old daughter, they say they are print out patterns but I'm uncertain how it works. Do I just print it on regular paper?

Say I want to draw a ladder with even spaced rungs. In flat perspective this is straightforward to do. I can just space them equally and it looks realistic: When using linear perspective with a vanishing point, I can construct the sides of the ladders. But how exactly do I have to space the rung...

Found these in an old compartment box of screws. A cylindrical steel base carries a conical tip, with overall length about 2 mm. Google Lens mainly just gives me cone snails and pencils. I'm reminded of a center punch, but the items seem hard to fix in a handle when some of them have an even shor...

I glued some ceramic cup holders that were delivered broken using Uhu epoxy glue. This glue is supposed to be good for temperatures of up to 100º C, but I wonder about the safety concerns if I use these cups to drink from them (even when excluding hot beverages). I was not able to find any detail...

Is that how the tip of a line tool is supposed to look, mismatched? I haven't used one before and I got this but I can't make it flow properly (whenever I manage to do it at all). I tried every suggestion I could find on the net and I'm starting to think it may be defective.

I just got a large piece of velvet (cotton viscose mix) that has some visible damage. I assume that it was rolled up and the roll either layed horizontally or if it was standing up, other heavy rolls have been leaning against it.

I am looking to cut out a perfect rectangle shape on the inside of a plywood box. I've tried using a drill to create holes on each corner and then using a mini saw to cut it out.

I purchased two molds to make some concrete spheres for my front yard. I am asking for advice on what type of ratio or off the shelf type of concrete mix I can buy in order to create the smoothest looking finish. I'm of the thought that avoiding aggregate in the mix will help me achieve this but ...

Good embroidery is best done with the fabric held taut and in shape by an embroidery hoop. I’ve done it before and am familiar with the process. I also have the usual equipment at hand. Now I suddenly find myself with a men’s shirt with a small damaged spot near the cuff. The placement is so that...

Back in the 1980s when I briefly worked in a Long Island springshop we had these uniforms made for us by a guy who came, measured us and later delivered the navy two-piece jacket and pants outfit. Everyone had a name sewn on their jacket left breast. This was done by sewing a thick gold-colored c...

I'm looking for a full-body petticoat sewing pattern. I own a few A-line maxi dresses and would like to make a petticoat (or petticoat-like garment) that extends from the bust area to the ankle. Ideally, it should add floof to the silhouette. I want to look like a giant cone. Does anyone know if ...

In an interview primarily about startups, Paul Graham, while explaining how important creativity and vision is, says of Paul Cézanne: Cézanne could not draw. He makes the same drawing mistakes that everyone makes in introductory drawing classes. What are (some of) these elementary mistakes Paul...

I’ve encountered a sink in a public restroom that has a very distinct appearance, and I’m curious about the material used in its construction.

I have a section of an exposed stone wall that I'm curious about. The wall appears to be made of roughly cut stones of varying shades, held together by a grey mortar-like material.

I applied a thin layer of oil paint and left the painting for some time. After a couple of days, I noticed immediately that the color has shifted from light brown to greenish (see pictures below).

I have been drawing with pencils for a while now and have now created 200 to 300 sketches and drawings. As with paperwork, I scan all my artifacts and store them on my computer.

I want to create small prototypes of mechanisms out of coffee sticks (the ones used as tea-spoons for coffee).

My understanding has been that for drawing in three or two point perspective, the vanishing points should be on the horizon. But in the image below, we see that the marked vanishing points on the page are not on equal level, meaning one of the vanishing point is above/below the horizon. Here's t...

I am going to make a miniature diorama that contains a number of small plastic pumpkins that I already own (see picture below for an idea of what they look like).

My question concerns available options for hard covers in twin-loop wire-o binding, not concealing the wire at all; no spine, two separate covers.
