Social The Artist's Lounge - Social Thread Ver. 2.0

I can relate and I know that next month is going to be demanding for quite a few of us with DRL, we could just do something low key this year.

 

I totally agree and it's a retail nightmare too!

I do like the sketch card idea but physically mailing the card would be a bugger cause of the mailing system this time of year.... unless we upload and share it like the usual gift exchange system

 

I would need to make a trip into the next county just to buy some cards, first, but that seems viable to me.

 

*hugs TrakNar*

Well, I am teaching 23 lessons in one place and 2x4 hours in two others. I have not touched a pencil or brush in weeks. And then the NaNo thing. Luckily my husband cooks for us, because he works at home and I have to travel a lot.

 

I'm not sure if I can get my hands on the proper cards as sketch cards are not a common in my region (I haven't been able to find them anywhere) but I am happy to produce a digital version for someone.

 

If, for whatever reason, people can't get a hold of the proper card paper, would hacking down Bristol board to the proper dimensions suffice? As for digital cards... I guess printing them on heavy stock and then cutting them out would work. I've done it for brochures, flyers, and business cards. It's busywork and the cards won't be the right material and the dimensions may be off by millimeters, but it's an option.

 

Hooray for ingenuity!

 

Ahh, now that's really handy to know! I'm interested in giving that a go during these holidays.

I don't have a printer at home so I'll have to stick to using graphite when I attempt it.

 

I can neither paint nor draw since weeks...

 

I was inspired by my old firefighter helmet and have drawn my new OC wearing that

 

And I still have not baked a single German Christmas cookie or had time to change my colours, because I am hardly on-line these days.

 

I haven't even shopped for people!

 

Luckily, I did that weeks ago.

 

Well, I shopped for my brother. Groceries really eat up a lot of my finances. I prioritize relatives, now. This year, focus on this group, next year, focus on another group. If I can, I'll try to get people gifts, but they may end up with those cheese samplers, or chocolate, depending on which is easier on my wallet. Oh well. Everyone loves food. It's a gift that's sure to please.

 

Well, chocolate does makes the world go 'round... you can't go wrong with that.

I've got two presents to go and I'll be set... just need to find time in between it all to get them.

 

I want to wish everyone a happy and safe time around these holidays!

We've been through quite a bit this year regarding star wars and its future and also the boards... and makes me excited for what the future may hold. Here is to next year!

 

Happy Life Day, everyone!

Figured I'd get that out now, as I'll be spending Life Day at my half-brother's.

 

I hope you'll have a great time there!

 

Hey I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

 

Merry Christmas and a happy new year, everybody!!!

 

I'm quite enjoying looking over all the works you guys have put out over the last month and a half.

Evil.

 

Yeah, I can paint again, even though finding time is a real problem. I actually need a fourth teaching position, because I still need to pay my German study debts back. Sometimes I think it was a blasted idea to become a secondary school teacher. I should have stayed a Kindergarden teacher and suck the nonsense of the Catholic church up. And somehow the time contracts are worse in the Netherlands than in Germany. But well, I have my fanart and fanfic to keep me happy...
